Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Kat.. have you tried a breath mint or hard candy on top of your tongue while putting the vitamin or thyroid under....? That did the trick for me until I got accustomed to the taste.... Topper () On Mon, 30 Jan 2006 17:41:18 -0000 "katmidg" writes: Hi, I just read an article about the healing properties of B-12. Apparently if you take it orally, (swallow it) you only get about 2%-4%. However, if you take it sublingly...it is the same concept as Armour or natural thyroid. My prob is that what I have tastes HORRID (as does Armour...it even smells bad) so I usually just swallow everything. Does anyone know of vitamins that dissolve quickly as do the children's tylenol/ibuprophen? I would love to have the benefits of B12 but I cannot handle the taste.The article indicated that when taken sublingly, it would take a couple of weeks, but you would start to feel the effects. It said that it was helpful to some patients with dementia....memory loss etc....Just curious.....Thanks,Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi, Thanks, I don't have a problem swallowing them at all....I would like to take Armour and B-12 sublingly, but I can't handle the taste. I wish the vitamins would just dissolve quickly. Thanks, Kat > > I have a suggestion for this... it is the only way I get my armour down. Take a sip of water before you put the pill in your mouth and tilt your head slightly back to drop the pill in. Once that is done then take a larger drink of water and you'll never taste a thing. Just... don't tilt your head to far back... you'll get the hang of it. Let me know if it works. > > > question about B12 > > > Hi, I just read an article about the healing properties of B- 12. > Apparently if you take it orally, (swallow it) you only get about 2%- > 4%.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hey Kats3boys, Thanks! The dissolving thing is exactly what I am looking for. I am aware of the injections....I dont' know which would be worse for me...the needle or the yucky taste. I assume son has a website, I will search and see what I can find.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 if you try it this way, the water will keep the pills from touching your tongue, that way there is no taste. good luck. andrea question about B12> > > Hi, I just read an article about the healing properties of B-12. > Apparently if you take it orally, (swallow it) you only get about 2%-> 4%.
