Anyone besides me suffering from side effects from TriVita sublingual B-12?

My Uncle who is 59 used this TriVita sublingual B-12 as he was feeling deprived of any energy after he returned from work at the evening. This supplement did not had any side effect on him. Further, it was a cheaper alternative to the expensive shots.

What side effects have you noticed? I take something similar and am not sure if it is making me feel strange or if it's other meds I am on.

I wound up in the emergency room w/ heart problems and was given a nitro patch. Saw my doctor and learned that mannitol--1 of the 'additional' ingredients listed on the package--is a diuretic and my potassium was very low.

In regards to using TriVita sublingual B-12, I believe that the benefits far outweigh the side effect that you experienced.

I have come to understand that it is necessary to investigate whatever goes into your body, be it food or supplements for many of the items that we congest on a daily basis contains some type of diuretics.

Unfortunately, you had a bad experience but I would certainly find out from your doctor if there is any safe way that you could continue to take this supplement.

TO 3rd sista:

My doctor instructed me to dispose of the TriVita. I looked up Mannitol on the internet and discovered 2 pages of contraindications and warnings.

I can take sublingual B12--[u]WITHOUT the additives</u>--with my dr's blessing.

I have been using the B-12 from Trivita and notice a lot more energy. I was having major problems before taking it. I was extremely weak to point of being unable to take the stairs at work. I went and had a B-12 shot and now I use the sublingual B-12 and feel great.

I have been reading on the internet and can't find anything that tells me there are risks with taking the mannitol that you mention. Only the injections have side effects that I could find.

Hi,

I am a 220 pound, 6 foot two, 50 year old male and have taken Trivita's sublingual B-12 on and off for several months, years in fact, with no noticable ill effects. I am not a doctor and am not making any medical claims. However, even when I exceeded the recommended dosage of Trivita's sublingual B-12 I did not notice anything disconcerting.

But that is just me. Perhaps my size/weight is a factor or I would guess that some people are more sensitive. As a teenager I knew some kids who got red in the face and increased pulse after taking certain types and quantities of B vitamins. But that was on purpose, not Trivita product, and I couldn't provide any details beyond that.
