A member asked:

I have stomach prob ,taking vb12 swallow pill or dissolve pill under tongue which type is better ,my b12 is 200pg/ml 1000mcg/day for how long i take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Injection: Your B12 is low and you should get injections of B12, as whatever you are doing now is not bringing B12 levels to normal. In general "dissolve under the tongue" would be better, but for reliable treatment injection every 1-3 months is better.
