It bypasses the GI tract entirely. Sublingual administration can be very effective, but I can't speak specifically for B12. In looking around the Web, it seems that sublingual B12 tends to be formulated in tremendously high doses, sometimes with other vitamins, and sometimes using a methylated form of the vitamin which is popular in Japan. If one believes their studies, the methylated form is more bioaccessible and possesses some healing properties.
