Supplement question: spray or pill?

[KnottedYet]

Vitamin B12: I take sublingual B12 from "Source Naturals." It doesn't have folic acid in it, has no real flavor other than mild sweetness, and is methylcobalamin rather than cyanocobalamin. (which I seem to absorb better and kicks my neuropathy out faster) If I'm in a hurry I chew them up, hoping my messed up gut will absorb the B12 as well as my mouth tissues would have. http://www.sourcenaturals.com/products/GP1217/ I pay $8 for 60 of the 16,670%DV pills.

Vitamin D: I get 3,000 IU daily of vitamin D-3 from "21st Century Healthcare". They have no flavor (chalky and bland) and are quite soft, so chewing them is no problem. They are awkward to swallow because they are not slippery, so I'd rather chew them. Add a bit of juice or fruit in your mouth and they are even easier. Mmmm, fruit leather and vitamin D.... tasty! http://www.21stcenturyvitamins.com/p...=418&c=2&sc=10 I pay $4 for 110 of the 1,000 IU pills.

I'm not sure that a spray B12 would be of greater benefit than a sublingual B12. With sublingual you might be bathing the mouth tissues in B12 a bit longer. (the Source Naturals takes FOREVER to dissolve) Though, since you don't have celiac disease your absorption pattern might be different.

If you are willing to chew B12 and D, the stuff I'm taking might be more acceptable than the ones you try to swallow whole. Maybe cheaper than sprays, too.

Oh, and I was told to take my B12 with some calcium to help absorption.
