When to take Vitamin B12
Take Vitamin B12 in the morning, on an empty stomach or with breakfast. B12 is water-soluble and mildly energizing, so morning dosing avoids any sleep interference. Sublingual or methylcobalamin forms bypass absorption issues common with age.

FAQ

Sublingual bypasses digestion, good for absorption issues or low intrinsic factor.

Both work. Methylcobalamin is the active form some prefer, especially with MTHFR variants.
Energy boost?
Supports energy metabolism. Helps most if you're low; not caffeine-like.
