As it is, most supplement makers and doctors haven't made this connection at all. The study on this thread however does state the absorption of B12 orally during empty stomach situations.
No one is calling that from the rooftops or commonly on the net!
It is only because of my training and experience that I know about it.

Got my B12 back today it was 883 , high range on the normal scale she said it only went to 931. So my GP took me off entirely ,on the phone the nurse said if my neurologist wanted me to have it then its up to him. So I'm taking your advise and going to start the B12 methyl 5 mg. a day on empty stomach. My neurologist told me to stay on the injections so I will see. So tired of inept GPs.
