Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Sublingually is usually absorbed a lot better than pills because it has a direct route to your bloodstream. However, I do think patches would be the best absorbed. Do you have a link for a good patch that others might want to try? Cheri -----Original Message----- Good Evening, Val, I've been on sublingual B12 4to5 months now, and after reading how little is actually absorbed in some people, am wondering if the B12 patches are worth the extra money. Supposedly 90% of the patch is absorbed. Thank's to anybody for any information. Pat . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I take B12 injections and I take 5 mgs. folic acid per day which might sound like a high dose but really isn't. It's very helpful for high estrogen and also keeping homocysteine levels down. RE: B12 Sublingually is usually absorbed a lot better than pills because it has a direct route to your bloodstream.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Nil, Long term you need to balance all of your b vitamins, as taking only a few in high doses will make the other deficient. In the U.S.A. B- complex is deficient in Folic acid (gov. keeps it at 400 mcg) and Biotin as it is expensive so they do not add enough.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 My understanding from multiple docs and sources is that oral B-12 is the least effective way to take it. The most effective is to inject it and, after that, sublingual. When I was taking oral supplements I was taking, I think 250mg. I'm not sure why you would want to take as little as 1mg of any of these vits? > > if one is taking 1 mg b12 per day how much others should be taken? > bw > Nil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
