Vitamins

[nag]

Hi there,

i was dignosed with celiac disease in Mar05, my doc advised me to take B12 shots, which i took every week for 4 weeks, after that i moved to florida and could not make arrangements for receiving the shots, my energy levels started to drop, B12 tablets did not seems to help, and ulcers in mouth started to grow bigger. right then two weeks back some one suggested the sublingual tablets from Twinlab (500 mcg), i find these very useful. i have been taking one tablet every day and my energy level is improving. The same strength of 500 mcg from other tablets proved to be useless. Now i don't know how long i should continue on these tablets. Does anyone have experience with the sublingual tablets?

thanks

I take sublingual b12 vitamins. They are supposed to be really good because of the way it releases into the body. I take the Enzymatic Therapy brand

Hi,

I was wondering where you could get these vitamins at a reasonable price.

That's great news! I'm not taking vitamin B12 myself unless it is in Boost or a multivitamin but I am thinking about taking B vitamins to improve my energy levels. Glad to hear that the Twinlab (500 mcg) have helped yours Is Twinlab only vitamin B12 or are there other things in it?

If your doc will agree, you can also give yourself the B-12 (and B-complex and folic acid if needed) using an insulin needle. That way you do not have to make arrangements to get them done. I have not tried the sublingual version, but the shots sure help.

I know I would never have the stomach to do that.

I found Sublingual B Total liquid drops

Nutraceutical Solutions 800-856-7040

www.eliquidsolutions.com

I eat complex carbs (potato or rice) the night before

training and/or games, take the liquid

in the morning and then right before activity

so that I don't "crash" during training

and games. Worked like a charm during my

recent tournament.

I figured as long as I'm attempting to be athletic

will be how long I continue with the supplements.

Q: did any of you have pheripherial neuropathy due to B12 deficiency that lead to needing the shots?

Oh. mytummyhurts, you'd be amazed at what you can do if necessity dictates it. I know I have been.
