fellow sleevers - B12 question

How often do you guys take B12?  WeightWise says once a week but I wondered if anyone takes it more often and what your thoughts are on it?

Also, the brand I bought seems to take forever to dissolve under the tongue and the last few remnants never quite dissolve.  So maybe I need a different brand?  Where do you buy yours?

Hi, Kim.
I was SO TIRED all the time, I decided to take B-12 once a day, and it really seems to help me. Once I found out that you can't OD on it, I figured it was worth a try.
I buy the sublingual B-12 from Walmart. It dissolves quickly and completely for me, and the taste is just fine (for me, at least). It's pretty inexpensive, too.
Hope this helps.
Blessings,
Mary

Kim, I also get mine at Walmart.

Hey Kim,
I am taking one from Walmart too. The brand is Spring Valley. I have also used one of the buy one get one free from Walgreens and both seem to dissolve just fine. The one's I have from Walmart are a High Potency. I take one every other day. If I am real tired I will take them every day. Jess had told me to try every day to see if I feel better, and if I do then just take them every day. I also found that with my iron, I was taking to much. I was taking 36 mg per day because it was in my multivitamin. I got a multi with no iron and take the other brand with the iron once a day.....I swear, it is like a full time job trying to figure out all the freakin pills!!
Good luck!

B-12 will be excreted if you take more than your body can utilize.  I take mine more than once a week- or try to.  I find that I am more tired if I only do it once a week (well to be totaly honest I probably missed a few weeks along the way!)

I bought the cherry flavored ones at probably Wal-Mart.  Much better than the icky ones from Weight Wise store.

I give myself a B-12 shot every month on the 8th. I can tell when I run out too, close to the 8th. Like last month, I was wiped out and couldn't figure out why until I realized I hadn't taken my B-12 shot.. It perked me up and I was ready to go on.   Dr B wrote a prescription for 1 year, with 5 refills I believe.. I twas $11.00 for the year supply with needles from walgreens.  No, my insurance didn't cover any of it either. 

Hope this helps,

I use the cherry flavored ones from Walmart and they dissolve quickly and completely. I just take mine once a week. I just had my labs done and B12 was high normal.

I take a B12 shot once a month. My doctor wrote a script for it. Insurance doesn't pay for it, but it is inexpensive. I feel great taking it.

I take the Spring Valley brand also and I ge them at Wal-Mart - they are a higher potency than those I used to get at Weightwise, and dissolve much faster. I am still taking it once a week, don't seem to need it any more than that..

Hey Kim-

I got mine (grape flavored forget the brand) at Walgreen's on Mac and 39th in NW OKC. They were super helpful getting me all that I needed. I take mine once a week, but I haven't really ever felt super tired. Good luck finding something that fits you!
