How do you take B12?
Hi Annie,
Yes, the surgeons @ UNC do not promote the use of B-12, at Duke they do... just one more difference between the two...
I take B-12 every day, in fact i take it twice a day! I use a sublingual tablet that tastes like rasberry or cherry under my tongue. I get my B-12 @ Whole foods it's 1,000 mcg per tablet and as i said, i take 1 tablet each morning & evening. I feel like it gives me more energy. And i know that the B-12 levels are something that both my PCP & the people at Duke look at when i get my blood work done.

Hi Annie,
As Judy mentioned, Duke promotes the use of B12. Like Judy, I take sub-linqual B12 twice a day.

Hi Susie,
I see you found me over here on NC forum this my second home LOL
I am not afraid of needles after all before surgery I had to give myself 4 shots a day.Depending on the size of the tablet they are ok too.
I may look into the subligual tablets that go under your tongue but going to use what I have for now.

Once we moved to japan finding any vitamins have been hard that would meet the guidlines,
my B-12 is the pill form you swallow.. I'm not so great with it, and 9 out of 10 times i throw it back up... :c(
So this week i'm going to my PCM on base to see if i can get a b-12 shot.. i wish i could get a calcuim shot too..lol i have a hard time with pills... :c(
so you have many options and many different ways of taking it..
take care
