Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 What are your thoughts on the B12 Patch? www.b12patch.com - just curious. One of my surgeons asked me about it and when I looked it up it seemed ok.

We don't raelly recommend the oral B12 because it does not absorb as well, and typically we have to switch those pts to sublingual. As written below, just have B12 checked after 3 mos of whichever route you go to see if more is needed or not. RD, LD>> Oral really does not provide any supplementation.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I give his B-12 shot in his thigh....while he is awake. The first month...he hated it...but now...I just say " Time to get your Shot " and he just stands there and does not even care. We have been doing B-12 since Oct 2007 Annmarie...mom of 27 months old From: threeofheartsasd <threeofheartsasd@...> Subject: [ ] Re: B-12 question Date: Monday, July 14, 2008, 9:41 AM Hello, A friend of mine uses the shots to give their child B12. There is a cream that they put on their child's bottom and it numbs the area. I've seen her give her child a shot and he did not even flinch. I know you said transdermal or oral, but this maybe another alternative. > > What would be the best way to administer B-12. > We would like to use either transdermal or oral. > In your opinion which would be the best/. > Has anyone used the above with success? > Thanks so much > Joyce > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
