Questions about B12

[Kyo]

There are a couple things I'm wondering about.

1. Does it matter when I take sublingual B12 tablets? Should they be taken on an empty or full stomach?

2. I've seen chewable B12 tablets. Are they absorbed as well as the sublingual if I chew them well?

Thanks.

It is believed that b-12 absorption starts in your mouth and finishes in your stomach.

For this reason taking sublingual b-12 ( disolving it by holding it under your tounge) increases absorption.

Taking the b-12 after a meal holds the b-12 in your stomach longer, increasing absorption.
