Hi Rlman, I prefer to upper lip and under the tongue.
I have tried the two modalities and honestly I cannot feel a difference. My B12 serum levels went up pretty quickly with sublingual method which means that they get absorbed, and I very much prefer this way as I don't want to keep all that sugar in my mouth for too long. I use Source Naturals methyl-B12 (5mg) and Enzymatic Therapy's (1mg), they both dissolve in around 25-30min, if I keep them...
FWIW, I don't believe there's any benefit to taking b12 this way. I've read that the B12 molecule is too large to be absorbed sublingually anyway. All that's happening is that it's trickling down to your stomach where it's absorbed slowly
Good point.If this is the case then why do so many people have success with transdermal b12? If anything, a mucousal membrane should be better than skin
Not saying im any authority on the matter, just wonderingGood point.
