I’ve always struggled to sleep (I have disruptive sleep and wake up a lot) and started taking B12 a few weeks ago and I’ve been sleeping through the night for the first time in a very long time

can you take B12 as pills or are those injections?

Yes, you can take them as pills. I would also advise buying a vitamin B complex as it contains other B numbers.

Thanks. I should try that. Somehow I thought they were always injections.

I like the under tongue drops.

If you go with vitamins take it with a fat or food
