Every day, tablets that are held under the tongue.

I was originally told once a week under the tongue. Then, after my first blood test at 3 month, it was a bit low, so I now take it twice a week.

Have you been sleeved? How far out are you? Have you had blood work done? What does your Dr say?

I was told daily sublingual under your tongue for life.

I take the B-12 tablet sublingual daily with my Vitamins but I was curious about getting B-12 via Poweraide Zero.

I drink 6-8 servings of Poweraide Zero a day and it says each serving has 15% of your daily B-12. Does that mean I am getting a larger dose of B-12?

But I thought that B-12 was not absorbed via the stomach? Any thoughts?

The nutritionist told ne it isn't absorbed very well in the stomach and even less with small tummies. Hence, the need for sublingual.< /p>

I used to take the sublingual tablets every day but was recently tested and found that even that wasn't enough. I just got my first B12 shot and WOW what a world of difference! I feel about a billion times better than I have in a very long time.

So take your tablets daily but be sure to get labs done around six months and one year to see if you're deficient in anything. Now that I'm on B12 (and taking new Iron supplements) I'm doing a lot better.

And yes, it doesn't matter how much B12 you consume in your diet or pills that you must digest because you need more stomach to absorb it than we have after being sleeved.

For those with a fear of shots it comes in a nasal spray.
