Bluebonnet Earthsweet Chewables Vitamin B12

Now we're talking. I think this is the last of my supplement inventory, at least for now (the only other thing recommended to me was lots of different magnesiums that I can't find a suitable source for) and I saved the best for last. Don't get me wrong, this didn't do anything to heal me either, but it had the nicest form factor by far. It's a small pill shaped tablet, firm, and tastes like a vague sugar pill. I guess B12 is really small and that's why it can be in such a pleasant format(??). I find the dosage (something like 5000x DV) weird and unsettling, but I guess it's hard to force it past the brain-blood barrier, or something. I wish these did something for me because I'd happily take them eternally, but as it stands I'll just finish out the (60ct) bottle and cherish its memory. If you take B12 I highly recommend this one though!

Bluebonnet Earth Sweet Chewables - Calcium Magnesium & Vitamin D3

Are supplements food? No, they are not. Do they have any consistent allergy labeling at all? No, they do not!! So for these reasons (plus my inherent skepticism), the only supplement I'd ever taken til recently is your classic childhood Flintstones Vitamins. Plus, my dietary labs have always been fine (thanks, Toaster Strudel). But now I've reached the "I will try literally anything" level of medical misery, so it's all aboard the supplement train. Luckily this company has very transparent labelling, and they were quick to respond to my queries about legumes (no legumes). Unluckily there is citric acid & raspberry in here, which I am supposed to avoid for dubious brain diet reasons, but it's got to be a pretty small amount, right? 

A serving is 2 Tums-size tablets. The taste is "tums" and the texture is "tums". Are these just tums? They aren't a joy to eat or anything, but they aren't objectionable. The real question is: do they do anything? In my case, the answer is no, but I didn't have any direct evidence that I was deficient in any of these substances to begin with. Plus it's only been about 3 weeks since I started. I will probably finish the bottle and then not buy another bottle, but I would not have a problem with resuming the Tums life if somebody said I should.
