Anyone have a sublingual B12 they really like?

So far I've tried Twinlab Dots (tastes like wet dog) and Celebrate (tastes like laundry soap). Trying to hunt one down that doesn't taste bad.

Thanks!

Nature Made B12 sublingual is yummy, but I don't know if it comes in lower doses than the 3000mcg I have.

Nature's Bounty...cherry flavor. They only have 2500mcg that I could find so I cut them in half and take them 3 times per week.

I use Trader Joe's 1000mcg. It's tasteless, which is good in comparison with wet dog!

Thanks! Sounds like I might check out the Nature Made next, then go from there :). If only all these other Vitamins could be purchased in sample sizes like Protein powder...!

Source Naturals 1mg. I take it 2x week and my blood levels are high normal. Whatever you get, make sure it's methylcobalamin, rather than cyanocobalamin. The methyl is better absorbed and utilized, especially by our CNS.

BTW, got it on Amazon, is cherry flavored and tastes great.

Seeking Health is one of the few with methylfolate and methylcobalamin. Those are the only ones recommended by the heme/oncologist I have.

This is not bariatric, this is the only one that my MD/PhD recommended and I sat for 1x for 5 weeks with his chemo patients since I had to get IV Iron. Only one was rail thin. The rest were healthy looking and dang sure weren't no 20-30 years old.

Nature's Bounty sublingual B12. My WLS dietician highly recommends these,, and they taste good. You can find them at most places right now for BOGO 1/2 off... Walgreens, Meijer, ... most pharmacies. Just have to check online.

Thank you all! There are some great suggestions here. As soon as I finish choking down what I have (hate to waste) I've got a good starting point for finding something else.

Well, I don’t think that would be a healthy choice, if you are searching for something that tastes good. Candy-like supplements contains artificial colors and flavors that are very bad for health. So I would suggest you to avoid them.

I use vita4life’s vitamin B 12 sublingual, because it neither has any filers nor has any artificial additives. Moreover, it tastes good.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
