Hey you Entrecards health bloggers! Have you heard of something called sublingual B-12? It’s a souped-up vitamin, loaded with B-12, B-6, and Folic Acid. It’s supposed to be easier to absorb, because you place the pill under your tongue- that’s where the “sublingual” term comes in; sublingual means under the tongue. The pill is kinda cute- it’s pink!
Anyway, it’s a hot seller (over 9 million pills sold so far) and it says it boosts energy, mental acuity, and health. I think the mental acuity aspect appeals to me, lol. I sure could use some acuity! Because the pill bypasses the digestive system, it’s good for people with diabetes, dementia, and others with digestive problems. The stuff is absorbed quickly and just goes zipping into your bloodstream. This is what it says it does:
* Promote energy, stamina, and improved mood
* Keep your memory sharp
* Provide focus to help you concentrate and stay on task
* Reduce the risk of age-related brain and heart diseases, including Alzheimer’s
I figure since it’s all-natural, it’s probably a good supplement, like a super-charged vitamin! I’d read that vitamins when taken orally do very little to add nutrition to the body, because the pills in the stomach are not as readily absorbed. I’ve never been a big vitamin taker for that reason, and also because they do upset my stomach. I don’t eat breakfast, so taking those horse pills in the morning bothered me.
Have you guys heard of it, tried it? The website is here, where you can read more and try sublingual B-12 today. I’d really like your opinions, if you have any. <

Great article. I love natural supplements and it is really surprising to see how well they work.
Another alternative to souped up B12 is a supplement called SAM-e. I work for Nature Made vitamins and found out about it there. It also has very little side affects, and helps improve moods and concentration.

I have tried the SAM-e B12. It’s OK, but the Trivita ones seem to work much better and longer.

Very interesting … I am “all ears” when it comes to products that boost energy and concentration. Rebecca, have you tried it yet and do you have any results to share …
Do tell!
