Does vitamin B-12 help?

Post by AUTOMATIC » Wed Feb 09, 2005 2:01 pm

Have been reading articles of b-12 vitamins and how they increase energy, alertness, cognition and reduce depression. Does anyone have any experience before I blow a few bucks for a batch?...AUTOMATIC

Didn't do a thing for me.

Apparently the sublingual type is the best since it is absorbed better.

Dont waste your time with B-12 pills. They dont work. If you can get your Doc to write a Rx for injectible, That works. You can also get the type that you spray up your nose . Rx needed also.

(off the record . You can get B-12 at your local feed store for about $12. Syringes are 25 cents ea. use 1 CC. Use no more than 1 CC every 2 weeks. You inject it into the rt upper quarter of the butt. Rirgt where the back pocket of your jeans is. In the muscle . Read about giving injections. Better yet, have your Doc show you where to inject. It is something you can do yourself. Take in morning or you will be awake all night.)

I'm not a doc or expert. I do have experience with this . Use it on goats and wife.

Its the same stuff. Just says for vet use only. I do buy the B-12 for my wife at the Pharmacy. LOL

I should stress that you should get this Rx from your Doc. Its not something to do without reason. In my case its pernicious anemia. Also, I give it to animals when they are injured or have been stressed .

cheers,

Chris

I have had B12 shots and they have realy helped. I suffer from depression and it seems to make me more calm, feeling better and stronger. My MD showed me on how to inject it into my upper thigh. It's easy and painless.
I have used it for periods of 2 to 3 months, one a week.
