b-12

Just had my b-12 shot today and I don't like shots. Someone had a spread about taking b-12 under the tongue.  Can anyone tell me the name of that b-12 so I can ask my doctor to write me a perscription. Thanks.  Also going to start taking IRON any suggestions my levels seem to be dropping each month.

the one i take is called a B-12 sublingual and the dose for me is 1000 mcg.  i take it once a week. al

Ofcourse ask your WLS First but..... I take the over the counter B-12. Twin Lab B-12 Sublingual Dots (500mcg) 100ct/btl . I get them either at the drugstore or vitalady.com. WLS has me taking 2 a day. Just make sure they are the SUBLINGUAL type, whatever brand you get, they absorbe quickly into our systems.

I don't know if they have the Vitamin Shoppe there but you can find them online, they have sublinguals as wells as a b-12 liquid both are flavored you may enjoy them, personally I am thinking about going to the shot since that is only once a month as opposed to the daily or weekly consumption of b-12 sublinguals.

Hey Big Funn, Yep, same here, sublingual B-12, Rexall brand. I buy mine at Wal-Mart for around 5 bucks for 200 count. I take two or three per day. They are tiny cherry flavored pills, just slip them under your tongue and they melt in a couple of minutes.  Ronnie

I do 1200 mcg sublingual once daily. I get the local Trader Joe's brand.

You can check out the Bariatric Advantage line of products on the web too. Good luck. I do iron daily too. Just remember not to take it with calcium, as they don't work well together absorption-wise.

My doctor recommends the once a week sublinguals as alwuetrich says he takes. I had good luck with some from Trader Joe's.  Don't get the DaVinci Laboratories brand.  I got a bottle from vitaminshoppe.com and it doesn't dissolve well at all when placed under the tounge.
