So I've always used injectable b12 all my career, it delivers 100 percent into the system and we avoid interrupting the digestive tract, I personally don't believe I could achieve what I do without using it in injectable form as orally it's not the same thing imo and doesn't give the same response, we give b12 injections for muscle and immune system and the red blood cell count we want high! What's people's opinions on this? And has or does anyone do this? And if you don't give it a try

To be honest i never did it myself, but i am one for prevention. To me it does sound like a very good practice, so how long have you been carrying out this Danny.? The digestive tract is so important.

Used B12 in the 80s but I used a liquid one.
