    Default B12 Injections

    Does anyone have any experience with B12 injections that they are willing to share?

    I have heard that it can help for a variety of ailments including depression and weight loss.

    Where do you go to get them? Does anyone administer the injections themselves? Does anyone have any personal experience with sublingual vs. sprays vs. injections? Can you recommend a brand or a type of B12?

    Thanks in advance!

    ive tried the B12 shot..i wanted to do it for weight loss purposes
    i did it every 4 days..IMO didnt really do anything for me..if anything it made me eat ALOT..it raises the metabolism however it also raises appetite!!

    I now use Sundown Naturals Sublingual 6000mcg..i ve been taking one every day for several months now..it keeps my weight under control (im a piglet sometimes)
    i let it dissolve under my tongue and i get a super boost of energy!!!

    I had access to a Dr that gave the injections very reasonably many years ago. For 10 days afterwards I had a huge energy boost, I felt many years younger. I have tried B12 pills, liquids, and sublinguals and never noticed any difference in energy levels. I had friends that had injections when I did and some of them didn't feel any changes

    hmm not really sure
    i think the only reason B12 is in liquid or injection form is bc our bodies have a hard time absorbing it..or sometimes we poop/pee it out the B vitamins out

    Can you do it yourself?

    Also, I don't know if there is any merit to this (I'm sure we've all had customers start talking about a subject they were completely misinformed about) but a customer told me his mother took B12 shots and they controbuted to her getting cancer.

    That said, I would get them monthly awhile ago, however I never noticed a difference.

    I recently went to the Dr.'s and had my blood levels tested, since I experience extreme lack of energy and have fatigue throughout the day. I had started to take B12 prior to the visit in hopes that it would be the answer to my problem. My results came back though, and my B12 levels were fine oddly. My Dr. said that it'd be pointless taking the pills/injections if you're not deficient in B12, and this is the same thing a pharmacist told me before as well.

    So I strongly suggest to those who are interested in taking it, to get your blood checked out to see if you're even deficient in it. If not, it's a waste.

    I have read quite a few girls in response to different body issues suggest getting your blood checked out. Where do you go to get this done? I don't have a primary care physician I go to regularly, usually just a med center when I need something.

    I go to a Naturopathic physician who can do blood work in AZ. I'm sure a primary care physician could do it as well. Also, perhaps some of the med spas that deal with specific weight loss plans may be able to do it.

    What kind of blood test do you request when you are looking to find out which vitamins or minerals you are deficient in? Can they do a panel or do they test for specific deficiencies like B12?

    I had a food allergy test done and surprisingly found out that I was allergic to dairy and wheat, which was causing a variety of ailments.

    Thanks to everyone for the feedback!
