What happens to your vitamin B-12 level depends on your personal medical history and age. A healthy adult under 50 will store enough B-12 in the liver to last 3 to 4 years. So if that's you, you shouldn't notice much of a difference.

However, lots of people need vitamin B-12 supplementation! The most common being:

  • vegans/vegetarians
  • people suffering from
    • pernicious anemia
    • vitiligo
    • digestive problems
  • people over 50
  • people who have had gastric bypass or other stomach surgery that has disrupted digestion
If one of those is you, or your doctor has prescribed B-12 for you, don't stop! And if you're taking B-12 orally (pills or sublingual drops) and you have digestive issues, you're probably not getting much benefit from them. Vitamin B-12 transdermal patches infuse your blood directly, through your skin, over a 24 hour period to get the B-12 right into the bloodstream where it needs to be for you body to use it.
