most of the raw material is from one source (or very few). This is common in the supplement industry. At one time a high % of all our vitamins came originally from Roche... who made them in Europe.
But that has changed, by now I would think.
This link explains how Roche was accused of "price fixing"

Kirkland has an excellent quality control, so I don't expect any
problems with it. In fact hubby just called from Costco, as he did find it there this morning. We are just about out of our Puritan's here.
I did test out Puritan's when they began to offer it 2 yrs ago. I tested at 1999 after 3 months. My doctor insisted that oral would not work, and she was stunned at my test results.
Take all methylB12 on an empty stomach. I chew them up and follow with water first thing in the morning. |
Noted that you mentioned (on empty stomach) chewing the MethylB12, followed with water first thing in the morning.
I frequently run into problem with both Methyl B12 and Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid on empty stomach.
The above gave me some thoughts on whether I would be able to combine my 6 a.m. (set alarm ..60mg's Oxycontin every 6 hrs.) Oxycontin and Synthroid.... with taking the R-Lipoic Acid, as well as the B12 at that time. I usually get out of bed around 8:00 a.m.
If doable; this then would eliminate the need to work around delaying eating or waiting during the day to take these two on empty stomach.
Would appreciate your thoughts about this.
