A member asked:
Do vitamin b12 strips that dissolve in mouth result in better absorption as opposed to swallowing b12 pills for someone who is on ppi due to acid reflux?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is dependent on several things. Can you absorb vitamin B12 in the stomach? Check for intrinsic factors. In general, I try dissoluble oral B12 when a patient cannot absorb B12 in the stomach
