Nausea with B12

I just tried adeno B12 under the inner lip and after only a few minutes I began having nausea and a headache came on as well. I looked at the ingredients after it kept getting worse, and saw it has sweetener and flavoring. Are there any that don't? I am very sensitive to sweeteners in particular. the only sweet things I eat are honey and fresh/frozen fruit.

The B12 oil product from b12oils.com is applied transdermally and rubbed on the skin. One of their oils is a adeno/methyl B12 combination. There are no sweeteners or flavorings in it; they are not needed because of its transdermal nature.

The biochemist developer of B12oils says they are comparable in effectiveness to subcutaneous injections, and perhaps even better because there is a more consistent delivery of B12 to the blood stream, rather than peaks and valleys.

I have been using a once daily dose of the adeno/methyl B12 oils for over two years, and my urinary MMA test result is at the median level. I been tested as deficient in B12 in a SpectraCell micronutrient test prior to starting to use the B12 oil, while I was still using a sublingual B12. I needed to stop using sublinguals because of the damage to my teeth.

Other transdermal products on the market are not comparable to the b12oils product.

I've tried the oils only a couple times and they seem very effective.
1 spray of the methyl-B12 is "only" 0.75mg but it seems to have stronger effect than a 5mg sublingual...

Do you still just use the methylfolate tablets? Or is there a transdermal folate as well? If not, you use the tablets at the same time as you apply the oil, or start before-hand, to give the folate time to absorb?

No, I don't know of any transdermal folate products.
So yes, I keep taking Metafolin orally and I take them approximately at the same time (folate and B12 oil).

cheers
