A member asked:
Is there a b12 methylcobalamin supplement 1000 iu that can be swallowed as a pill. is it ok to swallow a sublingual supplement with water ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
B 12: You can purchase oral B 12 or swallow sublingual B 12 but you will not absorb as much as you can when taken in sublingual form. This is because the digestive process destroys much of the B 12 but when taken under the tongue it goes directly into the blood stream. Peace and good health.
