This consensus suggests the cause of a B12 deficiency may matter more than the form used.
Pills, under-the-tongue tablets and injections all bring vitamin B12 blood levels back up. But no form has been shown to beat the others for symptoms, nerve recovery or quality of life. A panel of 20 Brazilian experts reached this view by voting on statements drawn from a review of existing research. This is expert opinion funded by a B12 maker, and solid long-term trials comparing the forms are still missing.
