▶️ Recently, the Drug Delivery and Translational Research journal published a compelling study that compared the effectiveness of sublingual (under the tongue) and intramuscular (injection) administration of Vitamin B12 in treating B12 deficiency.
The findings were fascinating.
The study revealed that sublingual B12 was not just sufficient, but in fact superior to intramuscular injections. This method significantly amplified the odds ratio for an increase in serum B12 levels, making it a more effective and convenient method of administration.
▶️ Now, you might be thinking, "Why should I be concerned about B12 if I don't have a (known) deficiency?"
That's a great question. If you're taking methylfolate-only supplements, it's important to remember that B12 and methylfolate are a dynamic duo - they work synergistically to enhance each other's absorption. ⚠️ Without B12, sometimes, a phenomenon known as 'methyl trapping' can occur if one takes only methylfolate. This can lead to complications in how methylation occurs in the body.
So, who should consider taking B12? If you're someone who uses Methylfolate-Only products, it's recommended to maximize the benefits of any L-Methylfolate by taking it in conjunction with B12.
Remember, we offer these nutrients individually, allowing you to customize your own doses of methylfolate, B12, and other vitamins at separate and specific amounts tailored to your personal needs.
