    Ive seen studies that say the opposite as well.

    I take 5k mcg of jarrow mb12.
    I've posted several studies in the supplement section. Can you cite one study showing sublingual effectiveness to be as high as injectable?

    I also used Jarrow Methyl, great sublingual.

    with all due respect, i dont agree with you this one sadly. what study do i need other than my blood work? How can you disagree that it's gotten me to optimal?
    I saw a few studies many years ago(ive been taking this for years)...too lazy to find them again.

    I don't disagree completely. It's possible, but very rare. And most certainly not possible with reasonable dosages. The majority of people have some level of digestive issues. Most don't know it. Theres little to compare. Remember also,, your sublinguals are 5000 mcg and taken daily (usually), injecting 500 to 1000mcg once per week would yield better results. Not to mention a 5000mcg sublingual takes over 20 minutes to dissolve.

    Every single study that has ever done a comparison, concluded that oral administration was good enough to get patients out of deficiency. I've researched this heavily. PUBMED has just over 120 articles on this topic, I've been through all of them because I wanted to do this without injections. Found nothing to support equality.

    Anyway, it doesn't matter. If something is working then that's all that matters. We can agree to disagree on this one.

    yup let's agree to disagree. my blood work doesnt lie . Like i said ienjoy the 20 minutes of sublingual dissolving. It is like a candy . I was shocked by my labs...they couldnt even measure me!
    i used to post on a forum called phoenix rising(it's a chronic fatigue forum)...and all the members had similar results to me. Brand is important. Jarrow is considered the best of the best along with enzymatic therapy.

    Maybe you can post your results someday. I'm aware of phoenix forums. The sticky threads there support what I say. They even recommend 2 doses of jarrow for results.

    i posted my bloodwork a while back. the b12 was >1500..wouldnt give me a number because it was out of measurable range.

    i used to take 10-15k of the jarrow but it was overkill even 5k has been helping me. You need to remember that a lot of people on that forum are not in good health....and dont workout.

    Ok. Because on the 4th of April you said you never tested your B12 levels. You said you'd post them in may when you get tested, cant seem to find them anywhere. Might be just blind.

Thats what the B-12 panel picks up (B-12 liver marker) Methyl ester when you do a IM injection pushes the B-12 pass the Liver (going around the first pass) and directly into the blood stream. Just because you liver shows high absorption. You can still be having Chronic Fatigue Syndromw and malabsoprtion of B-12. This is why oral or sub-ligual drops or tablets of b-12 dont work for many, Even the oral methyl. Your body still has to pull the b-12 out of the large intestine. Most americans because of our diet have matted villa and flora in our guts and cant make or absorb B-12. Injectable Methylcobalamin is the best form B-12 directly into blood stream, pass the liver and then bioavailabe. It just makes since and Ive been using for years in patients and they love it as part of there TRT.
