Best Answer

If you have a health problem that requires you to take vitamin B12 sublingually, it is unlikely that swallowing the same dose will be effective. Vitamin B12 requires the presence of intrinsic factor for proper digestion in the stomach. That's why it's given IM or SL instead in most cases of deficiency.

Yes, actually you SHOULD take Vitamin D3. You have two choices of Vitamin D, Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. Vitamin D2 is not absorbed as well as Vitamin d3 and it has a shorter half life.
