Super B-12 contains 3,000mcg of B12 plus B9, B6, biotin and ginseng in a berry flavor, slow-dissolving tablet for maximum absorption. This nutrient packed formula delivers longer-lasting energy while helping support mood, cognitive function, cardiovascular and immune health.
Suggested Use
While chewing and swallowing Alfred Libby’s Slow Dissolve Tablets might be tempting given their sweet taste, it is crucial to their effectiveness that you allow them to dissolve under the tongue completely. You’ll still get the great taste, plus the full benefit of these nutrients… his patented slow dissolve process helps ensure you get the B12 you need when you need it!
Alfred Libby’s Slow Dissolve B-12 Tablets were formulated with his patented technology that enhances the absorption of these critical nutrients. Think comparatively of nitroglycerin tablets for the relief of angina pain or chest pain. Alfred Libby thought, “If nitroglycerin could go into blood vessels, why couldn’t B12?”

Why Slow Dissolve Super B-12
What’s the story behind B12 and Alfred Libby?
What’s the story behind B12 and Alfred Libby?
By Scott Conard, MD
Alfred Libby, a pioneer in nutrients and health, patented the technology that still powers TriVita’s Slow Dissolve B-12 supplements. His original formula lets the dissolving action of B12 get into the bloodstream without an injection or swallowing a pill.
Alfred Libby was an associate of Linus Pauling, Ph.D., the two-time Nobel Laureate and “Father of Vitamin C.” Early in his career, Libby discovered the dramatic health changes that B12 could make and worked for decades to raise awareness.
“We’ve given people back their lives”
Along with B12, Libby was the “star” of TV infomercials beginning in 2000. Here, I’ve selected some of his memorable thoughts:
“We’ve given people back their lives,”
Libby said. At the time, painful and expensive injections were the only way to supplement effectively with B12. And, undiagnosed B12 deficiency caused untold damage.
“B12 deficiency, undiagnosed and untreated, wreaks havoc,” he declared. This “havoc” took many forms:
Moodiness
Low energy
Lack of focus
He would talk about patients who, with Slow Dissolve B-12, went from moodiness and lethargy to enthusiasm and energy… older people, sent to nursing homes because they were disruptive and difficult, becoming “functional human beings again.”
A key element in Alfred Libby’s Slow Dissolve B-12 is its unique delivery system: where the tablets dissolve and get absorbed quickly into the bloodstream.
Dramatic effects and a change of career
In my own medical practice, I found the same kinds of patient results that Libby witnessed years before. For years, my medical practice specialized in treating the elderly. Patients would come into my office complaining that they had no energy and felt “low,” and they would beg for B12 “shots.” After their shots they became so much more alive, so much more well, that I changed course in my career.
I switched my focus to preventive medicine, convinced that the way to make a difference in people’s lives was to help them get the vitamins and nutrients they need before health issues arise.
My own experience has shown me the truth of Libby’s statement: “It’s so fulfilling, so gratifying to be involved with this [Alfred Libby’s Slow Dissolve B-12]… and with the right company, TriVita.”
On his original infomercial, Alfred Libby would gesture toward the phone banks and say, “When I see the phones light up it reminds me of the song ‘You Light Up My Life.’ That’s how I feel when I see those lights; people’s lives are lighting up.”

How do I know if I'm B12 deficient?
We all feel tired and listless sometimes, but if symptoms like these are part of daily life, you might be suffering from a deficiency of Vitamin B12. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns healthcare providers to watch their patients for these signs of low Vitamin B12 levels:3
Fatigue
Weakness
Heart palpitations
Fainting
Vision loss
Shortness of breath
Pale skin
Dementia
Tingling of the hands and feet
Anemia
Hallucinations
The CDC doesn’t stop there: it notes that a B12 deficiency can also show up as anorexia (an eating disorder), diarrhea and constipation… it might even boost the risk of heart disease and stroke.3
It’s important to note that even if you have any of these signs, it does not necessarily mean that you have a B12 deficiency. These signs could stem from many causes. However, it does mean that your healthcare provider might want to rule out B12 deficiency as a possible culprit.

Taking B12 for over 20 years and now age 70 feeling great.
I began taking sublingual super B12
years ago. My brother-in-law suggested it to me. I’m 74 and I’m enjoying good health. I was happy not to have to swallow another pill and I enjoy putting a tab under my tongue that tasted good and I know I’m getting ample amounts of B12 plus B9 and B 6. I have good energy, my cognitive function is fine and I feel I have a strong immune system.
This is the best Vitamin B12 Supplement!
If needed for energy or inner calm this is what I reach for.
It also is very beneficial to have increased focus.

It's wonderful to hear such positive feedback about our Slow Dissolve Super B-12. More ENERGY and endurance is always a good thing! Thank you for sharing, Etta.
Store owner replied:
We agree! We LOVE our Slow Dissolve Super B12! The key is to let it completely dissolve under the tongue. We're thrilled that you love it too.
I took B12 from Trivita for probably 20 years, mainly the original formula. I thought about how good I use to feel when taking them and started back with the enhanced formula. I could immediately tell the difference when taking them. There is improvement in clarity and energy almost immediately after they dissolve under my tongue.

I recently began using the less-potent B-12. Now I plan to use the stronger B-12 once again.
Several years ago I used the stronger B-12 for several months before my husband died of a lengthy muscle disease. The B-12 gave me added strength to care for him at home and take care of many things after his home-going. My B-12 level was very high.
Recently my B-12 level was tested—down to 50%. So back to Tri-Vita.
I have begun to feel better with B-12 treatment after a difficult winter-spring- summer weather-related allergy problem. I am going to be re-tested for allergies to determine if I can use sublingual allergy treatment.
I am off most medications for this week but plan to resume regular supplements along with the new products after the testing is done.
Store owner replied:
It's heartwarming to hear about your long history with our Slow Dissolve B-12 and how it has supported you through significant life events, especially during such a difficult time several years ago. We are grateful you've chosen to return to TriVita, and we're so pleased to know that you are beginning to feel better!
Members have loved it for 27 years saying it helps provide sustainable energy without crashes or jitters and it sharpens their mental focus and clarity, and even improves their mood. It's the original formula from Dr. Alfred Libby of three B vitamins in one: B12, B6 & B9 (folate), in the unique sublingual delivery - dissolving the tablet under the tongue - ensuring direct absorption into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for maximum effectiveness.
We take it at lunch and it gives us that extra boost for the day.
My husband and I feel so much better since taking this. Can tell we were lacking in B 12 because we have more energy and just all around feel better then we have in a long time. Thank you Trivita!
I’ve had a great experience with TriVita Super B12. I have been taking these under-the-tongue tablets for years. The under-the-tongue tablets are easy to take, dissolve quickly, and have a pleasant taste. I appreciate the convenience and quality of the product, and it’s become a regular part of my daily routine. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality B12 supplement.
Trevor….
I started using TriVita B-12 twenty years ago when I first started having less energy and slight cognitive decline. I moved to the TriVita's Super B-12 when it became available and experienced even better results. When my friends and colleagues complain about cognitive issues I immediately recommend TriVita. I now have my wife pretty much addicted to it. She plays Mahjong and Pickleball and will not leave the house without taking her B-12. I'm a Director in a high-tech field and TriVita's Super B-12 keeps me in the game!
I have tried several B12 and by far Trivita is the best! I am referring everyone I know to try Trivita B12. Once you try it you will not want any other brand. I am a customer for life!!!
Thank you!
This is one of many good items on the market. This B-12 is the highest price B-12 item on the market and I personally cannot say I feel any better taking it compared to the lower price items I’m purchasing elsewhere.
Since taking the super B12 sublingual tablets I feel more energetic and it has enhanced my focus yet it is also calming. I have used this product for many many years and will continue to purchase.
I started B-12 tabs 24 years ago and now I'm 70 with the energy of a 40 year old. I take NO pharmaceutical drugs and still work 5 days a week, golf 30 times a year, vacation often and enjoy 8 grandkids who keep me running. Thanks B-12. I just ordered Beetroot gummies to help in my athletic performance.
One day I was in bed and I felt like I was not able to function, not even to get out of bed. I was taken to the hospital where they told me I had Anemia. I was always having to go for shots that were so painful. One day I was watching Dr. Libby talk about these Original B12, so I thought I would give it a try. My doctor told me he could not believe the difference in my blood work. I just wanted to share my story in hopes that it would help someone else. I give Original B12 a 5 star rating.
B-12 was a lifesaver during menopause. It got me through my job and other stresses. I also improved my diet by adding more vegetables and eating hormone-free meat. I find your magazine helpful to me and encouraging.Update:Original B12 saved my life. I was going through Menopause, I was feeling like my brain was melting and feeling like I was losing my mind. My sister had done some research that suggested that B12 could help and TriVita seemed to offer the best one. I'm so thankful for Alfred Libby and I prayfor him all the time. I give Original B12 an 8 star rating on a scale of 1-5.
Alfred Libby's Super B-12 I will never be without. I take one in the morning while getting ready for work and sometimes if I have a crazy, stressful day I will have another in the afternoon to give me that boost I need to get thru the rest of the day! I will never be without!
I was noticing that I did not have any energy and found myself just laying around not wanting to do much of anything. Then one day I was watching a Christian program where they spoke about the B12. Betty (from the show) described the same symptoms that I was having. I gave it a try and I have never been without since 2002. I tell people all the time about what a great product that the B12 is and what a wonderful company TriVita is. I give the Original B12 a 5 star rating.
