I know from previous discussions that some of you here are using sublingual b12. I wonder how much you take, how often, and with how much folate/folic acid?

I would be grateful if some of you would share your experiences.....

Hi BirgitteG as you cannot overdose on B12 you may well use as much as is recommended on the package and adjust accordingly.

Do you know waht your B12 and Folate levels are?

Have heard/read something about too much b12 can cause the body to close down the use of it..... 🤤

Don't know my levels now, have been taking 5-8.000 mcg daily, with 5 mg folate. Wonder how long time I have to take those large doses....

Sublinguals do nothing for me.

I used a spray version for under the tongue. The recommended dose was four sprays a day, I always did two mid morning and two mid afternoon.
