Vitamin B12 supplementation has noticeable effect on me, yet it shouldn't. What gives?

I took a sub-lingual Jarrow 5000 Methyl B-12 supplement, and felt more energetic and felt a dull sensation on my forhead.
The problem is that I researched B-12 defficiency on the internet and there is no way I have one given my diet.
What is going on? I have taken many noots before, and this doesn't feel like placebo. I feel like I am going insane because I can't convince myself that I the affect it had on me was illusory when it was more far noticeable than most other Nootropics. Is there any way B-12 could actually have an affect on me even if I am not deficient (or at least shouldn't be deficient)?

How would supplementation strategies be different between undermethylators verse overmethylators?
u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic
Generally, undermethylators need supplements that will donate methyl groups. That would be methylfolate, methyl B12, SAMe, TMG, etc. Overmethylators would need things that absorb methyl groups. That would be hydroxocobalamin, folic acid, etc.
