Subligual methylcobalamin works just as well as the shots and you can buy it anywhere. Also, get a Methylmalonic Acid Test with you B12 levels. An MMA test is more useful because it is an enz=yme which uses B12, so when the active form of B12 is low, so will MMA in most cases. | ||||||||

> Subligual methylcobalamin works just as well as the shots It does not. The cobalamin molecules are quite large and don’t penetrate the sublingual mucosa very well. On top of that, the proteins in saliva that bind to B12s will cause any bound B12 to not absorb sublingually, instead having to wait to make it through the digestive system for intestinal uptake. Sublingual is still certainly a better option than oral pills, but the injections are preferable in severe cases for a reason. | ||||||||
