For years I've been putting my sublinguals under my lip as Freddd has suggested. I saw his B12 post way back when and have been doing all my sublinguals that way. I Usually use the upper lip but it doesn't have as much saliva which may be good or not I don't know.
Some ideas
Above quoted from Freddds B12 post.
I thought that was recommended due to the veins under the tongue. That the sublingual material had an easy route to the blood. I know I've used under the top lip and had some success but wondering...
Some ideas
- For pill cutting into very small portions (less than 1/4s), why not use a timer. Put the sublingual under your lip then run your timer. When time is up put it in a container for next time. The next time it will be a little smaller (10%?) You can increase the time by this much perhaps. Done properly this could eliminate all that pill cutting. (This should be valid for mFolate tablets also even if they are not "sublingual")
- I occasionally move them around with my tongue when I think the spot it dry. Got me thinking that moving them in this manner could speed absorption. Like writing on a chalk board with a piece of chalk. You cover more surface area and should absorb faster and possibly better this way except for what you might take away with your tongue. To solve that you could push it around from the outside with your finger.
The sublingual b12s must be retained under the upper lip or tongue for 45 minutes to two hours for effectiveness with verified absorbtion ranging from 15% to 25% with urine colorimetry and by effect.
