When using the oral... make sure it is on an empty stomach with no food for an hour after. Oral is not passively absorbed well when food is present.

I was not supplementing orally or getting injections when the test was ran. It was after the testing when we started the injections and I started taking the B12 orally. Because I read so much about the B12 and knew my levels were moderately low, I wanted to see if it would help to incorporate more B12. I have been taking the B12 on an empty stomach, for the most part.
