Am I Doing B12 Under The Tongue Correctly?

I feel so silly asking this, but seriously, i am not sure if I am doing it right - LOL.

It seems so odd to put a pill under your tongue to dissolve, and it takes about 20-30 minutes to dissolve. Lately it seems the best place for it go, is under my tongue, but kind of off to the side, so I can still talk and it doesn't move around. Or, is it supposed to go under directly in the center? It just seems when it is kind of on the side, but under, it goes further back.

I hear it is absorbed by the mucous membranes, but where are those? lol. under my tongue??

Thanks!

I've wondered the same thing. Hope someone answers your question so I can know also :).

Yes you are doing it right. You can also put it between your teeth and gums if that is more comfortable. Your whole mouth is lined with mucous membranes so as long as you don't chew and swallow it your doing things correctly.

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
