What benefits does Sublingual B-12 offer over oral Vitamin B-12 supplements or Vitamin B-12 shots?
The key advantage of TriVita’s Sublingual B-12 is absorption; the better the absorption, the greater the effectiveness. Quick and maximum absorption of Sublingual B-12 is ensured by TriVita’s original, patented delivery system. Our exclusive process speeds B vitamins directly into your bloodstream when dissolved under your tongue. In contrast, oral B-12 supplements actually result in a reduced level of circulating B-12 for a time because of “competitive inhibition” where B vitamins compete for binding sites. That means the people who take oral B-12 supplements might actually feel worse for a time until the absorption catches up. This can be six weeks or longer, depending on the individual. B-12 injections, on the other hand, are fast; but, they are painful, inconvenient and expensive.
