Six-dimension breakdown
Why this scored 71/100
1000 mcg methylcobalamin in sublingual lozenge form. Methylcobalamin is the active coenzyme form of B12 (vs cyanocobalamin), useful for individuals with MTHFR variants or absorption issues. Sublingual delivery bypasses intrinsic-factor absorption for those with pernicious anemia (Sharabi 2003). Jarrow is GMP-compliant. Verified — right form, right dose, right delivery route.
Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
