Hi. :) Are the capsules as effective as the sublingual b12 ? Thank you.

I am much more pleased with the capsules, and you don' have to put it under your tongue! The methyl formulation is also more effective, than the cyano formula.

Yes, my husband was taking sublinguals (another brand) and not getting any results. After he switched to these his B12 level came right up.

Sorry, have never used sublingualb12, so can't compare here. I do think the pills are good though. Best type of b12 for deficiency caused by Metformin.

I have not used the sublingual. I hope you get an answer from someone who knows.Good luck,Bob.

They are in capsule form, just regular size, maybe look for a liquid b like Nature's Bounty Vitamin B Complex Sublingual Liquid, 2 Ounce (Pack of 4) about 16 dollars for 4 bottles. Tastes good and you put it under the tongue and then swallow. Kroger also has these I believe.

I believe soft tabs are more easily, quickly absorbed by the body. But if your "D" is already at a great level (60) then u shouldn't need a rapid body absorption. I like the quality of this product & also buy their B12 sublingual.

I noticed that they are a bit bitter, but it's nothing terrible, I just swallow them quickly. I have some raw vitamin capsules that taste far worse to to tongue, but I just swallow those quickly as well and chase it with something that tastes better.

I don't think you'll find any vitamin or herbal supplements that are FDA approved, let alone evaluated. The question is still out there as to the effectiveness of these items. I've seen the lab results after taking these though. I did the Walmart brand B12 and I had to have shots on top of those. Since taking these I haven't had to have any more shots because my B12 levels were spot on. Trust me or not, it's up to your good judgement but I just placed my first reorder last week after my initial 4 month supply. The price is good and my doctor approved of the type of B12 I told her I was now taking since she said it obviously was working. Any other questions just ask.

No, but B-12 "sublingual" , 2500 mg. tablets (taken once a day, and can be bought at Walmart or any drug store), will generally help that issue within 7-10 days.

Methyl b12 is naturally very red; these tiny sublingual tablets have no flavoring that I would associate with artificial red color/flavor additives. They are very very bland in the mouth.

They're sublingual tablets. You just put the tablet under your tongue and let it dissolve into your bloodstream that way. They actually taste pretty good. When it gets down to a small piece I usually just chew that little bit but under the tongue is a very effective way to administer this vitamin. I really like them!

I would suggest using the clear vegetable capsules if you're going to ingest. I am not ingesting--using to brush my teeth at night--a great teeth whitener.

Hello Northwoods Nut...Your assumption is absolutely correct. B12 5000 is 5,000 micro-grams or 5MG. The less expensive product, B12 is 1,000 micro-grams or 1MG. I just called Pure Encapsulations and verified that information with them. I opted for the B12 5000 at my doctors recommendation because my B12 levels were painfully low. All the best to you!

Yes, this is sublingual but their http://www.vitasprings.com/no-shot-b12-10000-mcg-b6-folic-60-tablets-superior-source.html item # 90810 is just much better.

Hi Maria,Yes the wording is correct 1mg. If you check other B12 products they are noted in mcg, not mg, so you will see values like 800mcg, 500mcg etc, in that case you have to note this product is 1000 mcg. There are products showing 5000mcg, which is 5mg however if they are not MethylCobalamine then your body will not absorb them so they are basically pointless. B12 is not like vitamin C, or D its only required in low quantities. I hope this helps clarify

A is 3000IU, C is 60mg, D is 400IU, E is 30IU, B1 is 1.5 mg, B2 is 1.7mg, Niacin is 20mg, B6 is 2mg, Folic is 400mcg, B12 is 6mcg, Pantothenic is 10mg. All except A are 100% DV (used to be RDA) and all are good amounts except C which is laughably small for optimum health. If this is your only multi I recommend you add a 250mg or even 500mg C and between 500 to 1000mg calcium pill as well. These standards are for optimum health for a 'normal' adult in reasonably good health according to my diabetes educator. She says mega doses are not safe and these multi-vitamins along with a C and a calcium are all most people need. Hope this helps. Wind to thy Wings, Evie S.

There are two forms of B-12. Cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin. Most people can convert Cyanocobalamin to the usable form of B-12 Methylcobalamin, but unfortunately this is not true for everyone. I have used both; injections of Cyanocobalamin and sublingual Methylcobalamin. I do not take regular B-12 tablets as they are not digested well and I was not seeing any change in my condition when using them. The sublingual Methylcobalamin seems to work faster than the injections but I have to take several tablets daily whereas I do one shot every five to seven days. I had to quit the shots for awhile due to nerve damage so the Methylcobalamin was an effective substitution. I think you will find it more beneficial than regular B-12 tablets. Hope this helps!

Have used this form and exact product for over a year..my Doctor advised me to seek a B12 choice on line as most cost effective; Doctor also approved rather than letting tab slowly dissolve it is fine to chew this B12..have allergies, some seasons for days to weeks my throat can be very sore or sensitive..I find they dissolve quite quickly. Hope this helps.

Nope I'm almost sure the ones you've seen are vegetarian vitamins which are easier to swallow but not really an issue these are quite tiny. This is in fact biotin

B12 is not injectable. From what I know you would have to get a doctor to prescribe it. I get a monthly injection from my doctor as well as taking the liquid.
