    Default B-12 absorption

    Which form of Vitamin B12 is better absorbed by the body. What are you taking?

    I have injections as they are the only way I can absorb enough B12. My gut won't absorb it. Apparently people used to be very efficient at this and we made all our B12 mainly in the gut itself but with current changes to eating habits we appear to be losing this ability. I believe for this reason injections are the best source. You should have yearly blood tests to determine your levels as pernicious anemia -lack of B12, is a serious condition.
