Lightbulb If

If you take B12 orally in any form, you need to do this on an empty stomach.

Also I have seen estimates that up to 10% may be passively absorbed orally if taken correctly.

Passive absorption of drugs in the microgram range does not occur reliably due to fiber/food influences. This is trug for digoxin and thyroid hormone.

So make sure you have no food in the stomach and for 1 hr after when using the oral B12.
