I am always hoping and wishing for more energy. It is just a sad fact that as a mother of 3 with one very clingy baby that I just do not get enough sleep or enough time to get my energy back after a long day. I also know from my doctor that Vitamin B-12 is something that I lack and would help me with my energy levels (plus he said it may help my headaches). When I was sent NatureMade VitaMelts Energy to try, I was so excited!
Here is what they are (as taken from NatureMade):
Nature Made VitaMelts™ Energy – made with Vitamin B-12 – is a great tasting and convenient way to meet your Vitamin B-12 needs, without having to swallow a tablet or softgel. Each tablet dissolves smoothly in your mouth without water, so you can take it anytime, anywhere. VitaMelts Energy comes in a delightful, natural Mixed Berry flavor and delivers 1500 mcg of Vitamin B-12 in each tablet.
Vitamin B-12 supports a number of key functions in the body, including supporting cellular energy production in the body and red blood cell formation.† Vitamin B-12 supplements are recommended for people 50 and over, many of whom are deficient due to decreased ability to absorb this nutrient, and for vegetarians and vegans who avoid dietary sources rich in Vitamin B-12.

I will admit that I was a bit nervous. The directions said to dissolve one tablet in mouth before swallowing, up to twice daily. I was afraid it was going to taste like a vitamin. You know the flavor… makes your cheek hurt and makes you want to gag. I am happy to say that these do not taste that way. I won’t lie… it isn’t like candy BUT they aren’t bad either. I think they are bearable to get that energy boost and health benefit that comes with B-12. I much prefer these over taking a vitamin (pill) now.
You get 60 VitaMelts Energy in each package. I had to hide these way up high because my children were convinced they were candy so be careful around little ones. You can purchase the NatureMade VitaMelts Energy (as well as other VitaMelts formulations) at local stores or online. Also, be sure to check for coupons before buying! Be sure to check out NatureMade on Facebook (right now their cover photo is VitaMelts products).
Have you tried NatureMade Vitamelts Energy? Do you think or know you lack Vitamin B-12? Is this something you would give a try?
