The Story Behind Dr. Alfred Libby’s Revolutionary B Vitamin Breakthrough
Alfred Libby, M.D., earned five doctorates and is recognized as one of the world’s pioneering authorities on therapeutic nutrition. Dr. Libby’s medical background in bio-chemical research includes an association with Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling.
In the late 1970s, Dr. Alfred Libby, renowned authority on therapeutic nutrition and longtime associate of Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling, began to explore an alternative delivery system for Vitamin B-12. The goal was to bypass the stomach where this essential nutrient is not easily absorbed.
In early spring of 1980, Dr. Libby approached his colleagues with his new theory that B-12 could be delivered to the bloodstream sublingually (under the tongue). Biochemists and his medical colleagues were quick to dismiss the idea. However, he was persistent and they eventually decided to give his theory a try, although they were convinced it would fail.
Six weeks later the first clinical trial was underway. Shortly after, Dr. Libby’s Sublingual B-12 invention was deemed a complete success — blood levels of B-12 increased from 1.2% to over 90%! In fact, Dr. Libby’s patented sublingual delivery method is able to deliver up to 98% absorption where oral tablets have as little as 2%.
Dr. Libby closely followed B Vitamin research throughout his lifetime—with special attention to the work of Dr. Kilmer McCully, who pioneered a B Vitamin/Homocysteine theory in the 1960s. Dr. McCully theorized and later proved, that homocysteine, a toxic amino acid, was the culprit in a large percentage of heart disease cases.
Both Dr. McCully and Dr. Libby knew that B Vitamins—specifically B-12, B-6 and folic acid—detoxified homocysteine and helped prevent heart disease. By the 1990s researchers began to uncover homocysteine’s link to other killers—stroke, diabetes and Alzheimer’s, among others.
As a result of this research, Dr. Libby took a new look at his patented Sublingual B-12, and added the perfect homocysteine-fighting proportions of B-6 and folic acid. The final result of 20 years of dedicated research and testing is TriVita’s unique, patented Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid—doctor-formulated for maximum absorption every day.
TriVita now provides Dr. Libby’s original sublingual formula to thousands of people across North America—over four million boxes have been sold to date. Increased stamina, mental clarity, and improved mood are just a few of the great benefits that people have shared regarding their experience with TriVita’s Sublingual B-12. Many others have also enjoyed the added peace of mind knowing that their body is getting the B Vitamins essential to decreasing the risk of heart attack, Alzheimer’s disease, and stroke.

The Science of Sublingual
The Science of Sublingual
The word “sublingual” literally means “under the tongue.” It refers to a method of administering substances in the mouth so that they can be rapidly absorbed into the blood vessels. The substance is absorbed through the buccal mucosa and into the sublingual vein where it has direct access to the blood circulation and is then carried throughout the whole body. Medical science has been using this method for years in the administration of cardiovascular drugs, steroids, and some barbiturates. The sublingual method has been life-saving for individuals who have had to rely on its speed and efficiency during times of critical emergency.
Here is why you might not be getting your B-12 with those other vitamins!
When the B-12 vitamin enters your body in the stomach (through food or oral pills), acids in the stomach separate the B-12 from its protein source. It then must combine with intrinsic factor cells in the stomach. This B-12/intrinsic factor complex travels to your intestine, where it is absorbed in the terminal ileum. The absorbed complex is then transported via blood plasma and stored in the liver.
The interruption of any of these steps affects your body’s ability to absorb B-12. Here is a list of common interruptions to B-12 absorption:
1. As you age (over 45) or become overly reliant on acid suppressing agents like antacids, your ability to produce gastric acids in the stomach decreases, meaning that the B-12 is less likely to be released from its food source.
2. An autoimmune or other disease reduces the production or blocks the action of intrinsic factor, resulting in intestinal mal-absorption.
3. People with pernicious anemia have decreased production of intrinsic factor.
4. Abdominal surgery reduces B-12 absorption.
* Gastrectomy eliminates the site of intrinsic factor production.
* Blind loop syndrome results in competition for vitamin B-12 by bacterial overgrowth in the lumen of the small intestine.
* Surgical resection of the ileum eliminates the site of vitamin B-12 absorption.
5. Pancreatic insufficiency such as fish tapeworm infection and severe Crohn's disease affect absorption.
Not all substances are easily absorbed sublingually, if at all. A substance’s ability to be absorbed is affected by lipid solubility, the permeability of the solution, ionization (pH), and the molecular weight of the substance. Dr. Libby’s extensive background in biochemistry and nutrition, along with his years of study with Nobel Prize chemist, Linus Pauling, make his patented Sublingual B-12 formula second to none. Various medical trials have proven to deliver up to 98% B-12 absorption, where oral tablets have as little as 2%.
TriVita works hard to ensure that your tablets are the safest, freshest, and most effective sublingual tablets available on the market today. Each box of Dr. Libby's original, patented Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid is made under the strictest quality controls in the nutritional supplement industry. All manufacturing and laboratory processes meet or exceed the most current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as published by the Food and Drug Administration in March of 2003.
The greatest thing about Dr. Libby’s Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid is that it is so easy to take! Place the small tablet under your tongue where it immediately begins to melt in your mouth. No more swallowing large, uncomfortable pills or cleaning up messy powders. No more visits to the doctor for B-12 shots. And when you take Dr. Libby’s original, patented Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid, you can feel confident in knowing that your body is getting the best source of vitamin B-12 available.
