Metformin blocks my intestines' access to vitamin B12, so I opted for a B12 tablet that melts under my tongue and goes directly into my bloodstream.
It goes directly into the bloodstream — and you feel a difference with the very first dose.

I was 59. I had been taking metformin for my type 2 diabetes since 2014. Two tablets a day, neatly, every morning at breakfast.
And I was tired. Not "a little tired after the food shopping" tired. Extremely tired. The kind of tiredness where you look at the sofa at half past ten in the morning and think: I can't go on anymore.
My hands tingled at night. My feet felt like there was cotton wool in my socks. I forgot names. I left the pan on the hob. My grandson asked why Grandma was " somewhere else " so often.
And every time I brought it up with the GP, I got the same answer: "Madam, that is part of having diabetes. You have to learn to live with it."
For nine years I believed that. Nine years.
Until my sister-in-law in York told me something that turned everything upside down…
In the next 60 seconds, I am going to explain exactly how I went from a woman who could no longer climb the stairs without a handrail to a woman who thought clearly and stood on her own two feet again, in a single day — without injections, without a new pill, and without arguing with the GP.
Why your body needs B12 — and what your symptoms tell you
Metformin, the medicine that approximately 1.2 million people in the UK take every morning, blocks the absorption of vitamin B12 in your intestine.
Not "sometimes a little". Structural.
Your body has one place where B12 is absorbed: a part of the small intestine called the ileum. There, small receptors grab the B12 from your food and push it into your blood.
Research from Diabetes Care (Bauman, 2000) showed that metformin sabotages precisely those receptors. The door to your blood is locked.
In 2022, the UK medicines authority TGA officially changed the patient information leaflet for metformin. B12 deficiency was changed from "rare" to "frequent". Up to 1 in 10 users develop it.
A british study across three hospitals found that after 4 years on metformin, B12 levels drop by 19% (de Jager, MJA, 2010). And for each year on metformin, your risk of deficiency increases by 13% (Aroda, JCEM, 2016).
But here is what I really couldn't believe: the NICE guideline (RACGP Standard) literally states that GPs do not need to test for B12 deficiency in metformin users.
New Zealand recommends it, every 2 to 3 years. The UK: never.
"Diabetes" was never the culprit. It was my medicine. And the system that was supposed to protect me looked the other way…
Why everything I tried before that didn't work for a single day
When I finally knew this, I thought: easy, I'll just buy MetaB12. It wasn't that simple.
The B12 capsules from the chemist. This is the first thing everyone tries — a jar at Boots, Superdrug, Holland & Barrett, or Lloyds Pharmacy, or Amazon for a few pounds. And it is exactly what I went to get too. But just think about what happens then: you swallow that capsule. It travels down your oesophagus to your stomach, and then to those same blocked ileum receptors that your metformin has kept locked for years. The B12 is knocking at that same closed door — and slips out of your body largely unused. It doesn't matter whether there are 100, 500, or 1,000 mcg in that capsule. The route is broken. So it doesn't get absorbed.
The B12 injections at the GP. Those do work — but in the UK, you only receive them after an official diagnosis, and the RACGP Standard states that GPs are not required to test. Catch-22. And even if you do receive them, you are exhausted again after 6 weeks because the effect has worn off. You are hooked on the needle, month after month.
The multivitamins from Priceline. The same story. They take that same broken route. And nine out of ten chemist multivitamins contain cyanocobalamin — the cheap synthetic form that your liver still has to convert before your body can benefit from it at all. Double loss: wrong form, wrong path.
None of these three solves the real problem. Because as long as the B12 travels via the blocked route, it does not matter how much you swallow.
It's about the journey. Not the dose.
And that was the moment I understood why my sister-in-law was so adamant about that one tablet under the tongue…
The breakthrough: one soluble tablet under the tongue that bypasses my intestines and goes directly into the bloodstream.
Just imagine there was a way to get your B12 back to the level of injections.
without needles, without GP appointments and discussions about whether it is "really necessary," and without having to go through that same blocked bowel that has kept your metformin shut down for years.
That method exists. It is called a soluble tablet.
You place it under your tongue. Do not swallow, do not chew. It dissolves in 60 seconds, and the B12 enters your bloodstream directly through the thousands of capillaries under your tongue.
No stomach needed. No intestine needed. No ileum receptors needed — that exact piece of intestine that metformin has shut off.
The dissolvable tablet worked better than the injection.
But not all B12 is created equal. The form matters. The dosage matters. The route matters. Most pills at Chemist Warehouse and Priceline use cheap cyanocobalamin — which your liver still has to convert — in doses that your body barely absorbs.
And that brought me to what my sister-in-law placed on the kitchen table: MetaB12 — the only B12-soluble tablet specifically for metformin users. One tablet, 2000 mcg methylcobalamin, Berry flavour, 60 seconds under the tongue. Does not touch your stomach. Does not touch your intestines.
Compare it this way: metformin puts a lock on your front door. A regular B12 pill keeps knocking there. MetaB12 walks around the house and enters through the side door.
94% feel a difference with the very first tablet. Me too. Within an hour, the fog in my head was gone, as if someone had thrown open a window. My afternoon slump didn't come that afternoon. I slept through the night. The next morning I just got up — without that heavy feeling.
My husband said that evening: "Margaret, your eyes look different."
And that was true.

I have been taking metformin for 7 years and was so tired that I thought I was developing dementia. With the very first MetaB12 under my tongue, I felt my head clearing that very same afternoon. The parcel arrived within 3 days, fast.

Honestly, I thought it was just another internet nonsense. But the 30-day guarantee made it risk-free, so I gave it a try anyway. A difference in my energy on the very first day. Surprised but happy.

You are now at a crossroads.
Path 1: Do nothing. You continue taking metformin every morning, without doing anything about the B12 it is secretly taking away. The tingling gets worse.
The fatigue gets worse. And as researchers warn: the longer you wait, the harder it is to repair nerve damage. In a year, you will be sitting in the same chair, with the same 'it must be diabetes' from your GP, and a body that has worn down another year further.
Path 2: Try it today. One small dissolvable tablet, once a day, under the tongue.
Risk-free, because you get 30 days to test it and your money back if it doesn't work. You join the 60,000+ people who have already regained their energy, clarity, and self-confidence, often within just one day. You become the grandmother, the father, or the partner who is simply there again.
The choice is yours. But today's discount really ends at midnight.
