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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
