Vitamin B represents a complex of eight different nutrients including B-1 or thiamine, B-2 or riboflavin, B-3 or niacin, B-5 or pantothenic acid, B-6 or pyridoxine, B-7 or biotin, B-9 or folic acid and B-12 or cobalamins. Vitamin B helps your body transform carbohydrates to glucose so that it can be used for energy as well as facilitate the metabolization of protein and fat. Certain people are susceptible to vitamin B deficiencies, particularly the elderly or those who adhere to a strict vegan diet, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Taking vitamin B sublingually or under the tongue is an alternative for those who cannot swallow pills or don't want to take injections.

Step 2
Adhere to the dosage specified by your doctor or healthcare provider.
Step 3
Lift your tongue and place the tablet under it.
Step 4
