PERQUE Activated B-12 Guard is in lozenge form for maximum uptake and optimal delivery to the brain. Studies on PERQUE Activated B-12 Guard lozenge formulation show nearly the same B-12 uptake as from injection. Patients notice that they feel better more quickly.
Vitamin B-12 in our food supply is estimated to be 78% less than in the 1960s. Diet alone is hard pressed to provide the necessary levels of this important nutrient. In addition, stress and reduced hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor production in the stomach impair absorption. The most commonly used forms of B-12 require activation in the body, making uptake quite low – rarely more than 50%.
PERQUE delivers vitamin B-12 in its superior, activated hydroxocobalamin form. Although it is more expensive and difficult to obtain, hydroxocobalamin lasts longer and raises B-12 blood concentrations higher than other forms. For this reason, it is the only form PERQUE uses. Hydroxocobalamin requires no intrinsic factor and is taken up directly by mucous membranes regardless of digestive competence.
Hydroxocobalamin is easily converted to active but shortlived methylcobalamin and adenosyl-cobalamin as needed in the body. Hydroxocobalamin, the parent to other B-12 forms, provides better, long-lived B-12 action in the body.

Use but don't abuse
by Fitdude
Only take one and let it FULLY dissolve under the tongue, with sufficient saliva. You can't take many of these, and you need to listen to your body after taking. Follow the directions.

Doctor recommended
by Ilene -
I like this form of B12 because you take it by placing it under your tongue to be readily absorbed and bypassing the digestive track-which may not be functioning adequately.

This is hands down the best b12 supplement that I have tried. Although it's a bit pricier that many, it is absolutely worth it. I can feel the difference when I take these.
