Might be that the stomach can't handle so much B-12 at one time. Using the sublingual stuff, much of it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the membranes under your tongue. What you swallow then, is probably mostly the flavoring, etc.

It only gives me a momentary flush or nausea IF I haven't eaten anything recently.

The GNC stuff is probably good.... but 4 doses vs. 60 doses for probably the same money??

5-Hour Energy has additional ingredients which give additional benifits. I am not promoting this, just asking questions. I'll go look up your suggestion also.

Yes, I know you are only asking questions, Terry. I am only giving info that I know about, as well.

Could also be that the "5 hour" has other ingredients that DO make it easier on your stomach to handle such a large dose of B-12. I didn't check your link yet, either.... but I will. I have been wondering about that product myself.

Personally, the only benefit I'm looking for is "alertness" or energy. I've found that, in a cheap way, with the product I mentioned.

I also have used "burner" type pills. They metabolize the food you eat into energy faster (and help keep you slim.)

All in all, a GOOD diet, INCLUDING MEAT, works well for me. In fact, if I would just remember to take a good vitamin shortly after eating, I might not need anything else. But, at those times that I do get sleepy, the sublingual B-12 seems to work wonders.... and doesn't upset my stomach.

And is INCREDIBLY cheap! I won't pay $2-3 for an energy drink. I've bought ONE in my life and couldn't stand the taste anyway! :lol:

it would be pretty cool if we could all have "natrual energy" which was supplied by sufficent amounts of sleep!! wishful thinking :(

Never tried that stuff but do drink the monster drinks.
Did you know that they eat (disolve) the floor at Dr. Pepper where they're made?
:shock: :shock: :shock: :lol:
