Yes, vitamin B12 can be taken on an empty stomach as it is a water soluble vitamin, it does not require food for better absorption of this vitamin. It can be taken 30 mins before meals or 2 hours post meals.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a Covid-RTPCR with FULL BODY CHECKUP - ESSENTIAL Test or Take a DRUG TEST - COCAINE Test
