I have seen this reference before, but I haven't found where those ten brands are displayed with your evaluation scores. So, so far, I have:
1- Enzymatic Therapy Methyl B
2- Jarrow Methyl B
10- Source Naturals Methyl B
I am kinda curious as to the other seven evaluated and your evaluation scores on them. In the sense of what to avoid and when cost becomes an issue, what if any are less expensive and could be substituted for a short time.
I found the Enzymatic Therapy brand to be only 1000mcg available versus the Jarrow at 5000 mcg. The Enzymatic Therapy being one third the cost, but less dose per tablet.
I had no idea you thought the ET was a 100 and so could I also mix the ET with the Jarrow 5000mcg for cost considerations?
Additionally in the last sentences of your response above, you stated taking both for their qualitative benefits and subtle differences. You did mention taking them with injections, which I am not doing. Does this statement still apply to taking both these brands without injections, and if so, could you explain these qualitative benefits and subtle differences you have seen with these two brands?

Hi Laurie,
I posted the entire list on a forum several bbs, managements and versions. The old things were left on old servers that eventually failed or were retasked to things getting more traffic. I let you know the estimates that I can remember converted to the 0-100 scale with a couple of additions and estimates based on reports of others, then I will explain a few things you ask about.
PTS
100 - Enzymatic Therapy Methyl B 1mg
097 - Jarrow Methyl B 1mg, 5mg
50-75 - estimate based on reports, not tested, Medicine Shoppe House brand 1mg sublingual mb12
030 - Natural Sources mb12 sublingual, I forget the size
025 - Superior B12 mb12 sublinguals, I forget the mgs
025 - BEST Foods mb12 sublinguals, I forget the mgs
020 - Don't remember details
015 - Don't remember details
015 - Don't remember details
010 - Something or other "Dots" very shorrt contact time, dissolves too fast to be compared on a minimum 45 minute duration. What ever reason, wasn't very good.
000 - Source Naturals Methyl B 5mg sublingual
All sizes were at least 1mg, maximum was 5mg, a couple were 3mg. Size really did not account for differences in noticable effects.
I was able too do a test of 6 different batches of b12 injectable prepared from 4 different batches of crystal by 2 different providers. The worst one gave me acne in 3 days and a single Enzymatic Therapy made a noticable amount of startup and I would rank that at zero. It was exposed to too much light. Some of those took a week to cause acne. They didn't work well either. I batch was at about 100, excellent effectivness, another batch about 90, another about 70, then a nosedive to about 40, but no acne, 20 with slow acne and zero with fast intense acne. I have had two different additional batches of crystal with two different inherent effectiveness ratings. Over the years I had many vials from these batches but somehow I misplaced some vials in the freezer and ended up with some as old as 18 months, which was also the best of the bunch, just as I remembered things changing each month.
During my best years of healing, the first 2-3 years, I took at least 2 brands at all times. Of the panel of 5, I was the only one with the central damage and the only one to feel any difference at all between Enzymatic Therapy and Jarrow.
