I am trying to buy my B12 sublinguals... What is the strangth I should buy? How many mcg do I need a day? Also, has anyone ever heard of Puritan's Pride B12 sublinguals? I found them while browsing for B12, and they have a buy 2 get 3 free deal right now... Just wondering if it should be ok, and should it have anything else in it? How much do i take a day? Thank you! One more thing.. Can you taste them?

Minimum recommendation is 500mcg daily. You can opt for 1000mcg or higher, but not take them each day, but every 2 or 3 days. Sublinguals I've used tend to be cherry flavored, but I've not tried every brand out there. Buy 2 get 3 free is likely Puritan Pride. They have these sales several times a year. B12 is the only thing you really need as a sublingual for absorbtion. Don't know about the taste of these though. I buy other Puritan Pride products and have been happy with them. I buy their vitamin K to help prevent bruising, as well as stool softners, dry vitamin E, etc. DAVE

The ASMBS recommends 350-500 mcg sublingual daily. If you buy a larger dose, you don't have to take them every day. For instance, you could take 1000 mcg every other day.

I imagine you can taste any brand of sublingual.
