B12 D - 03/27/2018

I am at my 2-year anniversary of using Maxabsorb, that uses methylcobalamin and not the cyanocobalamin found in the injectable form of B12 (which has the side-effect of causing muscle-waisting). Yes, I am deeply grateful to have found a way of receiving my daily need of vitamin B12 after having my lower illium removed (the main place where the body naturally absorbs B12). Sublingual, patches and nasal sprays could not deliver a sustaining amount of B12. I was very pleased to have discovered Maxabsorb. I use two cans of Maxabsorb a month taking 9 pumps a day. Each can delivers approx. 144 pumps, +/- 15, which typically last half a month each. I do labs every quarter approx. to measure my B12 levels plus cancer markers. A good pass range of measures should be between 200 thro '1100 pg/mL. The injectable form is more than able to push those levels to the maximum. 9 pumps a day of Maxabsorb sustains my levels in the 550 to 660 pg/mL range. The first year things went well and smoothly. Then the quality of the manufacturing process of the creams seems to have begun to drop off. Mid-2017 I received a can where the paste was gritty. That became an approx. 1-in-4 cans with the same issue. More recently it has become more frequent. When one is not just looking for an energy boost, but is dependent on Maxabsorb to continue functioning at all, it becomes a little scary to realize that the quality of the product may cause future problems. After 15 months of use, I noticed that the texture of the cream had changed a little. I developed foliculitis, a rash with pimples forming around the my upper leg hair follicles, where I rub in the cream. I have tried deep scrubbing and cleaning, which has helped, but it has never fully gone away. I rub the cream in on my upper legs because the surface area is large. It would be absolute bliss to me if VitaScience were to produce a pharmaceutical grade version of Maxabsorb on which one could count to deliver constant, sustainable quality of product.

Could not for the life of me figure out for years why I was getting terribly painful canker sores from time to time, and in the past year, very frequently. And also low energy levels. Didn't know the two could be related. I did tons of reading up on it, found out canker sores are not fever blisters, nothing to do with a virus or anything like that, and after much researching, trial & error, found out it could be a vitamin deficiency, specifically B12. I tried over the counter B12 orally, and it gave me a terrible headache & tummy ache. I found this product online, and no kidding, canker sores gone for good, and energy levels awesome!!!! Thank you so much, gave me my life back :) :)
