Sublingaul Vitamin B12

Sublingual literally means “under the tongue.” It refers to a method of administering substances in the mouth so that they can be faster absorbed into the blood vessels. The substance is absorbed through the buccal mucosa and into the sublingual vein where it has direct access to the blood circulation and is then carried throughout the whole body. When the Sublingual B-12 vitamin enters your body in the stomach (throughout oral pills), acids in the stomach separate the sublingual vitamin B-12 from its protein source. It then must combine with intrinsic factor cells in the stomach. This absorbed complex is then transported via blood plasma and stored in the liver.
