Do I eat before or after the dose of Vitamin B 12 and if so how much time in between?

I dont usually eat before or after just usually take a big drink of water because the liquid is dark orange.

I usually take it before I eat and before I workout. I have a very sensitive stomach and it hasn't bothered me at all:-)

B12 is water soluble so it doesn't need to be taken with a meal (fat). Some people recommend taking it on an empty stomach. You should discuss your needs with your doctor.

Taking the B12 liquid before my first meal of the day has helped jump start my energy. My blood test have shown major improvements since taking this product .I'm not sure if it matters taking before or after a meal. Just know that this works for me .Make sure that the liquid sits under the tounge for the full 30 seconds for best results. NOTE: please check with your Doctor to see if you are in need of extra B12s .Know for sure, TOO much is not good for your body.

I do not limit my dose around food consumption. Since it is sublingual it is processed differently in the body and is not affected by food intake. The benefits, for me, have always been the same regardless of when I take it. And it's so good I notice when I've missed a few days.

I eat normally while taking this. You just need to take it with food to avoid stomach upset.

Place one serving under tongue twice daily. Do not eat 10 minutes before or 15 minutes after using this product.Try to keep daily intakes and time consistent. Product very good at eliminating fat from food you eat containing fat.

I think before a meal. I put mine in a double shot of grapefruit juice. They are both bitter, but the fruit juice keeps the aftertaste away, and it is a lot easier to swallow!

I take before, but you can do after as well. I take protein after for better recovery and muscle building.

Refrigerate, helps so much. And be sure to place the tablespoon of the b12 under your tounge for a few minutes before swallowing.

There are actually 3 forms of B12: Methylocobalamin and Hydroxycobalamin, which researchers feel are the better choices for B12 deficiencies, and Cyanocobalamin. If you eat meat, you don't need a B12 supplement. If you are vegan, you also probably may not need to take a supplement but it is still suggested. The adequate dose is 5 micrograms/day. Most available supplements are anywhere from 500 - 5,000 mcg. Take the 500 mcg. once a week. The high concentrations are meant to correct actual diagnosed B12 deficiencies in people who may not be able to absorb it normally, but for most of us, these excessive amounts appear to be safe and nontoxic. Sublingual is the suggested form. There are actually 3 forms of B12: Methylocobalamin and Hydroxycobalamin, which researchers feel are the better choices for B12 deficiencies, and Cyanocobalamin.

I take mine every morning when I take my vitamins & other pills. Sometimes I have already eaten and sometimes I haven't -doesn't seem to matter. I just try to keep a routine of taking them at the same time every day.

I actually just posted this comment to answer another question on this discussion board, so I'm going to copy and paste :) "(disclaimer: I work for trustednutrients.com) we suggest starting with one capsule, twice daily, 45 minute to an hour before meals, with a tall (8oz) glass of water, on an empty stomach. That said, every person is different and results will vary. Play with it and find what you are comfortable with."

Yes, you can & you SHOULD! Dr. Oz has said repeatedly that you should ALWAYS break your multi-vitamins in half. Then take half in a.m. & half in p.m. This helps dissolve your vitamins quickly & gives you a full day's use of vitamins.

lerj's answer is the same as mine. I also have been taking it for the same reasons, though not as long. It seems to be doing what it should. I take one capsule a day two hours after eating and waiting 1 hour before eating again. This is supposedly is the way to take iron in order for it to be best absorbed.

I take it first thing in the morning on the empty stomach and I wait at least half an hour before I eat breakfast. I do the same before lunch or dinner, sometimes before both. Sadly I have to admit that I'm taking the pills from the beginning of the June and I didn't lose a pound, and I want to lose 10-12 pounds only

I take it after breakfast with water and drink tea/coffee afterwards. I do not take anything else with it. ALso take men's multivitamins 1 a day every alternate day.

Because the it's 800mg you are supposed to take at least 2 a day, 30 minutes before you eat. You can however take 3 per day if you are trying to lose more wieght. Make sure you eat right after or you will start to feel the affects of the caffiene.

I don't know the answer to that question. After the 1st day I stopped taking this B-12 product. Experienced stomach nausea and a general ill feeling. Switched to a complete B-Complex supplement and had no problems. I take the B vitamins for energy and well-being.

I take one before each meal. The directions say: For optimum effect, take two before each of your starch contining meals.
