WHICH B12 IS BEST FOR YOUR NEEDS?

The problem with any oral vitamin B12 is that it must be swallowed. Now, whether you chew, drink or swallow your vitamin the biggest issue is that the vitamin must survive the stomach acids and then the pancreatic fluids introduced in the small intestine, get absorbed by the intestine, and finally survive the liver-bypass metabolism that all food must go through when swallowed. After which, only a fraction of that vitamin survives and enters your blood stream. If all of that was not bad enough, B12 must be bound to a protein called Intrinsic Factor (IF) to do any of that, which as we get older the body makes less and less of it. With all that came the popularity of expensive B12 injections.

Vitamin B12 appears to be crucial for a well-functioning brain and nervous system.
