One thing this desert dog learned a long time ago, the best place to put your water bottle on a ride is in your stomach. Easier to carry, and it doesn't get too hot to drink it.

My motto when I worked long construction shifts in the heat was to get a full gallon into me by 10 am. By lunch too late, stomach would shut down from dehydration and drinking then would not help till after the day was over. Later on, I heard how the commandos in Israel do it, every hour stop and pound a full liter. Any way to do it, the idea is if you wait till thirsty to drink, you just blew it.

Chewing pills or chewing chewable form vitamins?
 
Chewing b12 is better because we have enzymes that secrete digestive aids for b12 and other vitamins when chewing meat. It's part of the overly complex process of absorbing B12.

Unless that B12 is methylcobalamin, you're getting nothing out of it though. If you're getting methylcobalamin, you're absorbing a few % of what you should. This is why most vegans have to inject B12 to feel good.

I learned this all the hard way because i fell into very extreme B12 deficiency as a vegetarian and still struggle with it as someone who primarily eats meat. ( i have an unknown issue absorbing B12 that runs in my family and causes mental health issues. )

Chewing pills or chewing chewable form vitamins?
listen to the video starting at 13:00 for 4 minutes :thumb:
i just chewed some non chewable type, and it was not bad at all.( maybe under the tongue is better)
don't get B12 in a multivitamin :shock: won't absorb :oops: must be by itself :thumb:
 
Multivitamins contain cyanocobalamin, which has about a 0% absorption rate. Methylcobalamin has an absorption rate of a few percent depending on the individual. Chewing or consuming the vitamin alone makes very little difference.

Cobalamin, the biologically active form, which is present in animal meat, organs, and in particular, some seafoods, must be chewed to have adequate absorption as well. But it is not necessary to chew it alone.. you just have to pass it by the.. we'll call them.. 'meat sensors'. :lol:

Whether these sensors are activated with synthetic vitamins is unknown to me.
