Best time 2 take B12 orally? Spread it out?

[Fl17]

I think I read here that it helped someone absorb better after food.

Today I had a big dinner, took my 4th pill during (almost end of dinner). Felt like it really kicked in, and mood improved.

I' m considering taking 2 at a time, right after meals. Think I read somewhere that u can only take/absorb so much in an hour or so. Maybe I should only take 1 at a time then.

Also not sure if I take folic acid / folate at same time with it. Think I'm suppose 2 take B complex at same time too.

Taking 20 000 mcg sublinguals.

I’ve never taken such a high dose. Usually 1000. Mcg. I was taking 2 x 3times daily. Last one just before bed and left these two under my tongue over night to great effect. Now down to just 2a day first thing before food. These are taken with a full multivitamin and mineral tablet.

Hey everyone! Someone posted an article that explains some of this. Can try 2 find later. By a German ? Society.

Believe it said to take B12 on an empty stomach? Works better? And 2 take larger quantities at once, but please read for yourself.

[GGourmet in reply to Fl17]

I take mine on an empty stomach but only once fully dissolved in saliva in mouth.

[Fl17 in reply to GGourmet]

Thanks, :). Please see post above u. I m doing the same as u now. As soon as I get up.

Hey, on my B12 box it is written to take it before eating, on an empty stomach!

[Fl17 in reply to Marybrown06]

Ok. Thanks! Just figured that out.
