I asked my doctor and he claims that both are as good. He says that it's just a myth some doctors believe that oral doesn't work as well as injectible. So I'll give it a try.

Bullshit. only something like 1% of oral B12 makes it into your system. So inject it!

agreed, back it up. As far as oral, please elaborate... doy ou mean sublingual absoption or intestinal absorption? i have heard some really good things about sublingual b-12 (methyl- form, not cyano-) and have seen some good studies, hwoever i do not have them on hand
 
also, what do you think about b-12 and various other vitamins used in conjuction with a membrane transporter such as DMSO? i talked to one doctor who actually used and loved this method himself.
 
I dont think the oral situation is as bad as people make it out to be but going through all the other bodily processes obviously will make it weaker whereas with injectable it takes str8 to the bloodstream.

As for 1000mcg... Thats a really high dosage but I have seen ppl using B12 in that range. It doesnt do anything at all for a lot of people so you might want to start with a lower dose and work your way up

There are pills that come in 3000mcg but I'm going for 2000mcg one's, how many times a week or should I take this daily?
 
Everything I've ever read has basically shown that oral b12 is a total waste of money. I dont have any literature to prove it but I can tell you that the injectable works. Besides r-ala I think it's the best supplement available.
 
there was a thread on anabolex about this. I dont remember the name of the study, but it did say something about ingestion of b12 being very poor. But if you want to take it orally, be my guest.

once again, oral as in intestinally (swallowing) or sublingually (dissolving under tongue)
 
i will agree with poor absorption swallowing, i have read before that you only absorb roughly 1-2% this method, but as far as subligual administration goes, it is dissolved directly into blood stream... i would go as far as to say 90% absoption rates
 
definatly inject, oral loses pretty much all its potency. Im doing oral now and there is no differance.
