Sore mouth from B12
 

I know I read it somewhere but I have read so much I cant remember where I read someone else said they get a sore mouth from places they hold the B12.

What do you all do about that???

It is not too bad yet but Ive only begun 3 weeks ago and I can tell all the places I move the B12 around on my gums, under tongue, cheeks, all getting sore.

I use only one of the MethyCobalin B-12, 1 MG , under the tongue once a day. Never had a problem. Maybe your dose is too high??? Been using this for about 8 months or so.

yes i am on a high dose because the B12 shots offered to me are the bad ones..cyno-whatever, with the cianide in it and I wont do them. So I am forced to do high levels sublingually.

Doing 6 of the 1mg pills daily, 3 in am 3 in late afternoon.

I rinsed my mouth today with baking soda water, hoping the alkaline will help.

That is really quite high. Sometimes I do take two 1MG. I had bloodwork done and I am within the normal for B-12. I would assume you had bloodwork done as well to need high dose or shots. The MethylCobalamin requires less than the usual B-12. So far, most pharmacies do not carry the Methyl B-12; but order on line with free shipping with orders of $20 to $40. I also use Source Naturals MethyCobalamin B-12 sublingual cherry flavor. These are best used under the tongue and will absorb better that moving around in the mouth.

its not necessary to take under the tongue to absorb the b12. take on an empty stomach and swallow them.

Mrs. D would agree with the empty stomach or at least 2 hrs before and at least an hour afterwards; but advised me disolving under the tongue was how I should take the MethylCobalamin B12 . If there is difficulty with the sores, etc. from the B12, I would imagine then better to swallow than to have sores. If these are allowed to disolve in mouth; better under the tongue than all around the inside of mouth.

*edit*


The top 2 tested brands of B12 subling is Enzymatic Therapy and Jarrow according to what I have read, and the longer you keep it under your tongue or lip the better.

Yes I had MMA testing done, I wish I could do the active B12 test but they do not offer it.

I am above normal but all research shows normal is NOT normal, sorta like thyroid levels. Also, I was on B12 before the test which shows active and inactive B12.

Reality is, dose according to symptoms.

My dr knows how much I am taking, while he may not agree I need it, he is not worried as there is no toxic level of B12 known since you excrete it.

The above forum was amazing place for information on B12
