Does vitamin B12 give you energy?A lot of people have been asking this question. This article will attempt to provide a concise yet comprehensive answer to that query.
How Does Vitamin B12 Give You Energy?When people talk about energy-giving food sources, what comes into mind are diet that are rich in fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. This, however, does not mean that vitamins are quite useless in giving the body its much needed energy boost. Though vitamins themselves are not capable of providing energy, there are some that are needed by the body to encourage power-boosting chemical reaction. One good example of this is vitamin B12. Does vitamin B12 give you energy? Read the rest of the article to find out if it really does.
When Does Vitamin B12 Give You Energy?
Vitamin B12 works by aiding energy-releasing enzymes that derive their potency from proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. The body only needs miniscule amount of vitamin B12 to maintain proper body function as well as prevent the onslaught of various diseases. Without it, the body will become weak and unprotected. If you are wondering when does vitamin B12 give you energy? It is very simple. B12 gives your body the power it needs after keeping the blood stream well-oxygenated. Through this, vitamin B12 ensures that the body is very much capable of producing its much needed energy. It also works in perfect harmony with other nutrients so that the energy levels of the body is always on the maximum level
How Does Vitamin B12 Give You Energy: A Simple Explanationhttp://www.vitaminb12x.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/does-vitaminb12-give-you-energy1-150x150.jpg (http://www.vitaminb12x.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/does-vitaminb12-give-you-energy1.jpg)does vitamin b12 give you energy

Still confused on how does vitamin B12 give you energy? Maybe this layman’s explanation would help more in explaining the process. If carbohydrates, fats, and other nutrients are fuels and your body is the machine, vitamin B12 serves as the spark plug that ignites the engine to run. This is how important B12 is in the body’s energy absorption processes. Dubbed as the energy vitamin, B12 is primarily involved in the biochemical processes that are necessary in keeping the body strong and capable of performing daily physical tasks.
The bottom line is, without vitamin B12, your body will not properly use its energy reserve derived from nutrients that it consumes on a daily basis. The only problem perhaps is not all food contains ample amount of B12. In fact, meat and eggs are among the few types of food that are rich in vitamin B12. The development of vitamin B12 shots, however, solves this problem. With a few shots of this, the body can absorb B12 a lot faster and with less loss. So, does vitamin B12 give you energy? Obviously, the answer is a big yes.

^^^Yes by injecting B12 directly into a muscle in your body, you can bypass the absorption problems associated with other types of the vitamin and ensure that you get enough of the nutrient to benefit you.

I use b-12 frequently.
There are many sites that sell it but the way I got mine was to go with a friend who raises farm animals.
He was getting some other medicines for his animals and I just put a 100ml bottle on the counter with no problem.
It was 8 dollars if I re-call and all the online places charge a lot more.So if you know a farmer it's easy to get.
Cynocobolamin is the same whether it's for animals or people. It's used for sheep, cattle, hogs, chickens, cats, dogs, etc.
From what I have read many endurance athlets use it and as was mentioned above oxidizes the blood.
I give myself a shot 1ml when ever I feel the need.

I have b-12 injectable on hand and use it when ever I feel like it.
One thing I dont understand about doctors reccomendations is....It's water soluable, it goes out of your system very fast.
I'd say within 24 hours so why on earth do they think it's benificial to get a shot once a week or every other week?
Sounds crazy to me. I think you could get a 1ml shot every day and wouldnt do any harm at all.
If you know any farmers who have sheep, pigs or cattle they can get b-12 from their vet supply place and it's dirt cheap.
I went with a buddy of mine when he was getting some medicine for his hogs and I put a 100ml bottle on the counter. It was like 7 dollars. The expiration runs out way before I can use that much.
But I have seen it available at many places but it's always at least 4x's that price.
It's called cynocybolimun(sp) and it's the exact same for animals or people.

B12 Injection Dosage

Mar 31, 2011 | By Leah DiPlacido, Ph.D.
Leah DiPlacido, a medical writer with more than nine years of biomedical writing experience, received her doctorate in immunology from Yale University. Her work is published in "Journal of Immunology," "Arthritis and Rheumatism" and "Journal of Experimental Medicine." She writes about disease for doctors, scientists and the general public.

Photo Credit injection image by DXfoto.com from Fotolia.com Vitamin B-12 is required for the transformation of protein and fat into energy. The metal cobalt is incorporated into vitamin B-12, which is the basis of the alternative name of this vitamin, cobalamin. A vitamin B-12 deficiency is more common in the elderly, affecting between 10 and 15 percent of those over 60 years of age. Some diseases are the cause of the deficiency, including pernicious anemia, and conditions that reduce the amount of vitamin B-12 absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.

Who Is Prescribed Vitamin B-12 Injections

Vitamin B-12 in the form of cyanocobalamin is prescribed to treat severe vitamin B-12 deficiencies. One manufacturer of injectable vitamin B-12 is American Regent Inc., and they have published prescribing information (http://www.brotherhoodofpain.com/#) for this medication. According to this manufacturer, vitamin B-12 injections are generally prescribed for people in whom the deficiency is caused by insufficient absorption of vitamin B-12 through the gastrointestinal tract. Cyanocobalamin is used to treat pernicious anemia; illness, dysfunction and/or surgery of the gastrointestinal tract that prevents normal vitamin B-12 absorption; pancreas or bowel cancer; deficiency in folic acid; and/or a tapeworm infection. In addition, some people who eat a strict vegetarian diet do not get enough vitamin B-12, and may need injections or high dose oral vitamin B-12 to correct a deficiency.

Characteristics

Vitamin B-12 injections are given intramuscularly or subcutaneously, meaning that vitamin B-12 is injected directly into the muscle or underneath the skin, respectively. The injectable vitamin B-12 is in the form of cyanocobalamin, which is the principle form of this vitamin used in supplements.

Common Vitamin B-12 Doses

For those with pernicious anemia, monthly injected doses of vitamin B-12 should be taken for life. At the start of treatment, 100 mcg are injected each day for six or seven days. Blood tests reveal if the doses of vitamin B-12 are raising the level of this vitamin in the blood; if improvement is seen, then the doctor may change the dose to every other day for an additional seven days, followed by every three or four days for between two and three weeks. When levels of vitamin B-12 become normal in the blood, monthly injections at 100 mcg should be repeated for life. Make sure to consult a medical professional before beginning a regimen of vitamin B-12 injections.

Side Effects and Safety

Doses up to 1,000 mcg per month of injected vitamin B-12 have no toxic effects in those who have pernicious anemia but are otherwise healthy. The most common side effects of vitamin B-12 injection are diarrhea and swelling. Other symptoms that are less common include muscle pain, weakness and cramps; intense thirst and frequent urination; coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath; and fast heart rate and dizziness. If you are allergic to any of the components of the injectable vitamin, you may experience swelling, redness, hives, rash, itching (http://www.brotherhoodofpain.com/#) and/or difficulty breathing or swallowing.

Thanks for posting that Beanlicker.
I found it really interesting and actually was surprised.
One would think that with it being water soluable it would leave the system rather fast.
But apparently you can build it up in the bloos level and then have less frequent injections.
Many endurance athletes use it.

Methylcobalamin Injection -VS- Cyanocobalamin Injection

Methylcobalamin Injection

This B12 Injection is Methylcobalamin. Injectable B12 Methylcobalamin is the best and purest source of Vitamin B12.
Methylcobalamin B12 is better absorbed than Cyanocobalamin. Vitamin B12 injections is are important for:


absorption of foods
proper digestion
DNA
healthy nerve cells
red blood cells

Vitamin B12, known as cobalamin, is commonly available in two forms: Methylcobalamin and Cyanocobalamin (http://www.bodyfitsuperstore.com/store/4036870/cyanocobalaminvitamininjection). Proper absorption of vitamin B12 requires normal function of the digestive system, specifically the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. B12 is typically available as an oral B12 supplement or as a vitamin B12 injection. Because of poor absorption into the body, Vitamin B12 injections are by far the most effective method for supplementation. Whether in the form of a B12 tablet, capsule or as Vitamin B12 shot, it has the most complex chemical structure of all the B12 shots. Methylcobalamin is the form of vitamin B12 used in the human body, whereas Cyanocobalamin is the most prevalent form used as a nutritional supplement. In order for Cyanocobalamin to be utilized by the body it must first be converted to Methylcobalamin and 5-deoxyadenosy. Because Cyanocobalamin requires the secondary step of being converted to Methylcobalamin in the body, it is the least efficient means to cure the body of a Vitamin B deficiency.
Methylcobalamin is the only form of b12 injection that is naturally supported by the human body without having to go through an unnecessary chemical breakdown.
According to studies, Vitamin B12 deficiency affects at least 10% of individuals over age 60. According to the Linus Pauling Institute the most common forms for Vitamin B12 deficiency are autoimmune conditions and food-bound vitamin B12 malabsorption. Both causes, though separate, become more prevalent with age.
**This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or mitigate any disease.
Methylcobalamin 1000mcg/ml compounded Vitamin B12 injection is available in 10ml and 30ml vials (10-30 doses for injections).
Dosing:
1ml Intramuscular 1-2 times per week.

Cyanocobalamin Injection

The least expensive and popular B12 Injection Kit. This B12 Injection is Cyanocobalamin. This form of vitamin b12 has been used for many years for many conditions. It is easily converted systemically to Methylcobalamin for use by the body.
Vitamin B12 Injections is the name for a class of chemicals known as cobalamins that are commonly available in two major forms: Methylcobalamin and Cyanocobalamin. The most practical method to improve vitamin B12 levels are through B12 injections and B12 oral supplementation (typically capsule, tablet or in powdered form). B12 shots are, by far, the most efficient and beneficial method for Cyanocobalamin supplementation. Cyanocobalamin shots are the most common and most inexpensive types of B12 injections. Cyanocobalamin is almost exclusively the only form of B12 added to food and used in dietary supplements. Cyanocobalamin naturally is converted to Methylcobalamin through the chemical processes of the body.
Ingredients:
Cyanobalamin 1000mcg
per ml solution

Dosing:
1ml Intramuscular 1-2 times per week.
**This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or mitigate any disease.



Cyanocobalamin
B12 Vitamin Injections


Vitamin B12 is helpful with:
Proper digestion
Absorption of foods
Maintaining healthy nerve cells and red blood cells
Making DNA.
Proper energy metabolism
Immune function
Nerve function
Muscle weakness
Spasms
Ataxia (unsteady gait and shaky movements)
Incontinence
Vision problems
Hypotension
Hypotension

Dementia, psychoses, and mood disturbances are but a few of the disorders which have recently been linked to possible vitamin B12 deficiencies.
Cyanocobalamin is the most commonly used form of vitamin B12. It does not occur naturally in living organisms. However, the synthetic form of the vitamin can be converted into an active form such as Methylcobalamin in animals. This results in the release of very little amounts of cyanide which is not harmful. It is more stable and can be easily crystallized. This makes it easy to purify after it has been produced through in vitro synthesis or bacterial fermentation. The cyanide ligand is replaced by other groups such as methyl which are more biologically active. It is useful in the prevention and treatment of low blood levels of the vitamin. The vitamin associates with Intrinsic Factor to help in maintaining good health of the body. Cyanocobalamin may be prescribed for treatment of a number of vitamin B12 deficiencies resulting from a variety of causes. Benefits of Cyanocobalamin include: Maintaining the cell Cyanocobalamin helps in maintaining a variety of cells in the human body. This includes formation, maintenance, and repair of cells such as the red blood cells. It also helps in the repair and sustaining nerve cells and maintaining a stronger nervous system. Formation of DNA The vitamin contributes significantly in the formation of DNA in the human body. This occurs during division of cells and Cyanocobalamin plays a central role. Deficiency of vitamin B12 may result in abnormal cell formation such as megaloblasts. This makes it important to include the vitamin in the diet. Cyanocobalamin helps in improving stamina and thus helps in relieving the body from fatigue and weakness. This helps the body withstand heavy work/ exercises. It also helps to reduce cholesterol levels in the body by controlling triglycerides levels. This contributes positively to a normal healthy heart. Moreover, the vitamin has been shown to contribute positively to individuals suffering from sickle cell anemia, Alzheimer’s disease, anemia, and breast cancer. A number of studies have also shown the vitamin to help in increased weight loss through increased fat metabolism. The supplements have been associated with several side effects such as chest pains, nausea, dizziness and fever among others following the injection. The medication comes as an injection, oral pills, and nasal drops and should be taken under directions and instructions by the physician.

I've always used b12-shot.com. They were always reliable. But all of a sudden and never before, I placed an order and they sent me an email back saying they had problems with their credit card processor, and I needed to log back in and pay with an echeck. It wanted all my checking account info, number, routing, etc. Sounded fishy. I canceled the order as I wasn't giving them that info. I would order from them again though, should they take a credit card. They did say they would have a new processor soon though.

Vitamin B12 is good for getting some energy, but if you take higher dosage in a week/day you might be suffering from these:


Headache.
Itching.
Swelling.
Nervousness and anxiousness.
Involuntary or uncontrollable movements.

Also if anyone has an ongoing infection then don't dare to use Vitamin B12.
