Sublingual B12 : Guide On Sublingual B12 Vitamins

Vitamin b12 comes in many forms on the market nowadays. There's sublingual b12, b12 shots, b12 nasal sprays and your regular stand-alone b12 capsules/tabs and multivitamins. They all differ in ingestion, price.............and pain =).

A bit about vitamin b12 first. A very important vitamin. It regulates proper function in our nervous system and our brain as well as begin very necessary in the production of red blood cells. Needless to say, any vitamin b12 deficiency symptoms are to be taken care of as soon as possible.

Hailing from the Latin word Sub (under) Lingua (tongue), sublingual tablets are meant to be placed under the tongue for absorption. Not limited to sublingual b12, almost any chemical can be absorbed through this method.

There are a few distinct advantages that sublingual b12 has over regular tablets/capsules-

• Quicker Absorption
• Convenience
• Painless (vs Shots)
• Value For Money

There is only one reason why sublingual supplements even exist on the market today. It is a much more effective method of absorption than common tablets.

The bottom of our tongue is jam packed with blood vessels that offer a direct route to the bloodstream when absorbed through the tongue membrane.

Its a quick hit, which is why it is also a popular method to absorb illegal drugs. Nasal sprays are another alternative that also offer good absorption rates. Which is why (again) so many cocaine abusers snort the stuff.

To summarize, the three most effective methods to ways get some vitamin b12 into our system are -

• Vitamin B12 Shots
• Nasal Sprays
• Sublingual B12

I didn't order that list according to rank. But most doctors will tell that vitamin b12 injections are the tried and true method of delivery.

I've come across some that swear by sublingual b 12 and some that prefer to opt for either injections or nasal sprays.

I'm personally not too fond of needles, don't laugh, there are lots of us out there. The sensation is repulsive. Its like a really toned down stab =).
