Q: Where can you get sublingual vitamin B12 in London?

A: What possible reason would you want, or think you want B12 to fix, in the absence of pernicious anaemia, which requires it to be injected anyway?

Q: When taking a sublingual vitamin or drug, do any of the “other ingredients” get absorbed too?
besides any sugars or flavorings, what about the binders or preservatives? Are these “other ingredients” safe if they are absorbed, and how efficient is sublingual administration of vitamins anyway, especially of vitamin B12? Example B12 sublingual lozenges “other ingredients”: “Fructose, Mannitol, Cellulose, Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Silica, Natural Cherry Flavor, Raspberry Flavor”

A: It’s not necessary. Sublingual tablets need to 1) disintegrate under the tongue and 2) the active ingredient must be absorbed in that setting. Notice i didn’t say all the ingredients must be absorbed.

Q: If sublingual administration of vitamins is so efficient, how come most people take pills?
and then, many of the people who do take vitamin or mineral pills hate taking them, end up chewing them and swallowing them or just stop taking them altogether(especially the large ones). How come sublingual multi-vitamins aren’t more commonly used? They are out there, but they control only a small share of the supplement market, except for maybe sublingual vitamin B12 sprays and lozenges. Also, many vitamins, minerals and many herbs when taken orally have a limited bioavailability, like curcumin; so why not take these as sublingual instead? How come sublingual vitamins and herbs aren’t more commonly used? It seems sublingual administration is pretty efficient according to what I’ve read, but is the sublingual route good for everything?

A: It probably depends a lot on the nature of the vitamin. Compounds that ionize easily can be easily absorbed through the sublingual route, but those that require lower or higher pH may need to be processed in the stomach or intestines to be absorbed.

There’s also a lot to be said for sheer social inertia. People might be suspicious of a sublingual vitamins if they haven’t heard a lot about them or have always used oral vitamins.

Q: does taking fish oil omega 3 and b12 help with anxiety?
i have tried zoloft 3 times now and everytime the medication gives me hypotension or postural hypotension upon standing and sitting to fast and other sexual side effects so i started today treating my anxiety with 3 tabs of omega 3 fish oil and sublingual b12 vitamins is there any stories of how this has helped people with anxiety and any other herbs that help anxiety/depression?

A: its good for your health in general which will help, but lots of things will help symptoms, to cure is to delve deep ,figure out the root cause and deal with it

Q: How to take sublingual b12 lozenges most effectively?
I find it hard not to swallow the saliva that gathers in my mouth and it takes forever for the pill to disolve… :(
I think im doing something wrong cos i dont feel the energy effect and have been taking Jarrows 1000mcg B12 and the vitamin B-complex supplements for about a week now.

A: They are pretty useless. a waste of money.

Q: Have you taken Vitamin B12 sublingual pills? If so did it help? Did you ever take too many of them?
SUBLINGUAL = under the tongue

A: You cannot take too much Vita B-12 because it is water soluble. You will urinate out what you don’t need. My husband takes it and says it helps him with energy. i know it is also good for hair and skin.

Q: can u consume too much B12 vitamins.?
I bought some SUBLINGUAL VITAMIN B-12 but each tablet has 5000 MCG.

I think that’s too much because the daily value is only 2.6 mcg. That’s a huge difference. Just want to make sure I am not overdosing.

A: Well…I don’t know about OD-ing…but your pee must be so bright yellow they could use it in a neon sign.

Is the tablet ALL B-12? or the other B’s? like a Complex?

I know SUBLINGUAL as a person who cannot talk or grunts.

5000 MCG?

Q: How often should vitamin B12 supplements be taken by a strict vegetarian?
I hear it takes a long time to run out of B12, so taking it every day(unless you’re borderline deficient or trying to build up a large reserve) isn’t necessary. So which is best for maintaining optimal levels of B12? Once a week? Once a month? Is sublingual B12 as effective as injections?

A: I have read and heard that 1ml Vitamin B12 injection once a month is a good dose. Vitamin B12 is a Water Soluble Vitamin. There is almost no risk of overdosing.

Q: Which one is more effective without secondary effects? injectable vitamin B12, or sublingual ones?

A: B-12 injections for sure.

Q: Does vitamin B12 really work for you?
I am speaking of the regular kind you swallow, not the sublingual B12 that you put under your tongue, however I will take opinions on both. Does this really perk you up? I am doing shift work and recently read about SWSD. I am really tired. Any opinions on B12?

A: No, it does not by itself. But read on, it’s not black and white for me:

In the beginning I tried sublingual methylcobalamin (bioavailable form of B12) and it worked great. then like everything I take for fatigue, it no longer helped much. It did help for my balance/coordination problem though.

But I have severe adrenal insufficiency/chornic adrenal failure with low cortisol low aldosterone. So it helped at first.

Now I am on coenzymated vitamin B’s which includes Methylcobalamin and it really helps me. (I was in and out of a coma state in Jan for 4 days). I no longer sink in a coma now.

The drs had given me B12 shots (injections) but those were cobalamin and they didn’t help for nothing!

I think methylcobalamin needs to be taken with the other B’s in coenzymated form. As for your tiredness, get your cortisol levels checked via saliva testing. Good luck.

Q: Does Vitamin B12 come in liquid sublingual form?

A: yes, you can get it at the health food stores, although that doesn’t mean it will work like it’s supposed to…

Q: what are possible side effects to the b12 vitamin?
i have recently started taking b12 vitamins i purchased at wal-mart for like 3 dollars because there supposed to increase you metabolism and give you energy. they are the sublingual dots.. and i think i may take way to many of them at a time at one point i was taking about ten a day just because i didn’t think it would hurt anything. i want to know if there are any side effects to taking too many?

A: your testicles will pop and your penis will fall off…

Q: How much is too much vitamin D, B12?
(I originally posted this in Health > Diet & Fitness, but only received relentless spam and answers without scientific evidence or medical basis. After deleting the post, I have decided to post in this category hoping for a more specific and reliable answer. I appologize for any inconvenience.)

Being anemic, I am currently taking three supplements recommended by my doctor, iron, vitamin D and B12. I recently purchased SlimQuick, a weight-loss supplement I have used before, which contains both vitamins, D and B12. I am unsure if the amount of these vitamins I am consuming is beyond a healthy dosage. According to my doctor, any excess of needed vitamins will be urinated out, yet my worries remain.

Floradix Floravital (ferrous gluconate):
Vitamin B12 – 7.5 mcg (125% DV)

Vitamin D3 Supplement:
Vitamin D3 – 1000 IU (250% DV)

B-Complex Sublingual Liquid:
Vitamin B12 – 1,200 mcg (20,000% DV)

SlimQuick*:
Vitamin D – 200 IU (50% DV)
Vitamin B12 – 12 mcg (200% DV)
(Also includes 200 mcg of Folic Acid)

Total:
Vitamin D – 1,200 IU (300% DV)
Vitamin B12 – 1,219.5 mcg (20,325% DV)

The percentages are what worry me.

Note: In a blood test, both my vitamin D and B12 levels were between 5 and 8 units below the standard levels.

*SlimQuick contains, from what I can gather, natural ingredients that do not strike me as harmful.

A: Whether a vitamin can get to toxic levels in the body depends on whether they are lipid woluble or water soluble. Lipid soluble vitamins will accumulate in fat when taken in high doses and can then have toxic effectc. Water soluble vitamins will be excreted in the urine when taken in excess. Vitamins A,D, E and K are lipid soluble all the others are water soluble. I would therefore be wary of taken this supplement along with those recommended by your doctor. I would stick with what the doctor has given you and ask him/her for another blood test to check your levels after a few weeks.

Q: Do you think I should take 2000 mcg of vitamin B12 instead of just 1000 mcg since I eat so much…?
Spirulina and kelp which apparently inhibit absorption?

Also, how do you supplement B12 (oral, sublingual, injection etc)? Just curious thanks!
Jessica there is NO vitamin B12 in plants at all.
There are SOME coblamins in algae and seaweed but they’re not bio-available and inhibit true absorption.

A: I’d go talk to a naturopath at a health shop and ask their advice. What you decide to do, is up to you, but… maybe what you should do in the meantime…
is separate the time that you have the spirulina from when you have the B12 suppliment. That should allow the B12 to be absorbed by your body.

I dont believe you can OD on B12. What is needed is used, what is extra is stored for later use. The body has many uses for B12.

I have previously had the B12 injections. They are like hornet stings! I use the sublingual drops now.

It took 24 years to find the REASON why my B group vitamin levels would crash and why I was having difficulty coping with life and was becoming increasingly TIRED!… so tired. Everything would then be an effort and I’d get grumpy with everyone’s demands on me.
I’d see my GP only to be told I was depressed. I refused his offers of antidepressants as I felt there was something else that was wrong… my friends didnt take B vitamins like I had to; and they had so much energy…

The B12 injections were a real pick up boost and would last a few months before I started wilting again. I had to take daily, high doses of B group vitamin supliments to stay on top of things.
Managing two weeks on, one week off… then I’d miss a month or so and crash again! You’re depressed… No Im NOT!!

A fantastic Naturopath, found I was generally nutrient deficient, very low in B12, had undigested food and candida in the blood stream and… chronic fatigue.
He was amazed I was still working full time!
I was put onto a special anti-candida diet and a suppliment regime that included the sublingual drops of B12 and liquid B group. This raised my levels to a more acceptable height. I started feeling well again. I still use the B12 drops and liquid B.

An Intergrative Dr followed up on the Naturopath’s findings, confirmed what he’d found and diagnosed leaky gut and the GLUTEN and DAIRY (casein) INTOLERANCES!! Finally! Someone believed me! He guided me into gluten and dairy free way of living.

Since going dairy and gluten free, I dont have that crashing problem. My general health has improved and life is great!
I have completed a 20km, grade 4, hike with a loaded pack and climbed to the crater of Mt Egmont which is a 2,518m perfect volcanic cone… with energy to spare!

I still take my B vitamins though… as Im also vegetarian.

Q: Is this combo of vitamins OK? Please read!! :) ?
I am taking OneADay Women’s…. 2 Benefiber….. Calcium 600mg with Vitamin D and Sublingual B12 2500mg every day.Is this a good combination? A bad one? Should I be taking more ? I am a 20 year old female if that helps?

A: hey emily ….. if it were me i would ditch the benefibre and eat some brown rice or rolled oats both rich in fibre and b vitamins ….. and drink more water …. i would also ditch the calcium with vitamin D tabs as they use so many fillers and nasty chemicals like magnesium stearate in processed supplements …. eat more green salads so rich in calciumm and magnesium or get yourself an organic powdered chelated calcium supplement ….. lifestream do a good one ….. and as far as the B12 supp goes, it really isn’t a good idea to supplement with any one of the b complex individually as they all work best synergistically (as a group) ….. so you’ll end up with deficiencies in others in the group by taking them individually ….. powdered organic spirulina is a good option as it is naturally rich in B12 …. start in small doses like a half tspn in water and hold your nose and swallow if you’re going to go with that option ……. or get a b complex supplement that contains all the b vitamins ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, folic acid inositol, choline, PABA etc.etc.

having said all that …… if you are eating enough wholegrains like brown rice and rolled oats, some fresh fish or lean meats, plenty of fresh green salad and green leafy vegies, some fresh low sugar fruits like watermelon, pears or strawberries ….. and supplementing with a calcium powder ….. you shouldn’t need to use a b complex or the benefibre. ….. just take a good quality multi (you get what you pay for), take a powdered organic calcium powder and use the spirulina powder if you like and eat fresh good food….. it’s just not worth risking your precious vitality to trust manufacturers scruples on what they really do put in tablets vitamins et al.

drink more water too.

peace baby
