b12 for more energy?

**Roaddkingg** · 10-11-2012, 04:39 PM

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.

L-Carnitine liquid 3-9g per day is much more beneficial

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 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 and/or difficulty breathing or swallowing.

My girl takes b-12 pills. I've never tried the injects would like to though

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.
