    Default Vitamin B12 - Who takes it?

    On Friday night, this girl was walking around the dressing room asking, "hey any of ya'll want some energy" I assumed she was talking about drugs, so I said nothing. She explained to this girl that she takes vitamin B12 pills or sometimes shots and gets TONS of energy from it.

    Do any of you fine SW ladies do this? I need energy! I try not to drink RedBull or any other kind of energy drink.

    I take it during early summer time because it keeps the mosquitos from biting me... I didn't know it was supposed to give me energy, though. I haven't noticed, but I haven't been paying attention either.

    It's in my multi and most of the bars I eat.

    B12 only gives you energy if you've got a deficeincy. So if you're already getting enough in your diet, extra B12 won't boost you like a stimulant.

    I've always heard that B12 gives you extra energy. I start my day with a red bull (not healthy I know) and it has a lot of B vitamins in it. Back when my diet wasn't going very well I went to the vitamin store and stood there for a while trying to decide on one. Well, this chick came through the door bouncing up to the section where I was and grabbed 3 bottles of this stuff (she knew exactly where it was lol) so that's what I got too.

    It's called Once Daily High Energy, and I have to say that the stuff does work. It does have a high concentrate of B12, B6, B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), & B3 (Niacin) so there must be something to it.

    I used to have to get shots because I was so deficient and pills used to upset my stomach.

    Now, that I can handle vitamins in pill form (still can't do iron though), I take extra B with my multi. It gives me the energy of a normal person, but I don't go buzzing through my days, lol.

    Vitamin B12 is great. It makes me feel more active and awake when I take it and doesn't turn me into a bundle of nerves, unlike caffiene.

    I take it in the form of Berocca which has lots of healthy minerals and vitamins, but I'm sure it's the B12 in it that does most of the work.

    What brand should I get? I have no energy and I'm pretty sure I'm deficient.

    My grammy used to get shots from her doctor when she was a mother of 6 working a night time job. My mom said she had LOT of energy. I agree with Lioness, the redbull has like 250% of your daily B6, and then something like 80% your daily B12, and I'm not sure but I think 5HTTP has B12 in it. Or you can get straight up B12 vitamins. They do give you energy I think any good brand that gmc would recommend would work well.

    Ok, I was on http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/search/...t=Vitamin+B-12
    and they have quantities of 500mcg to like 5000mcg's...some are mg's.

    Which amount should I get? No point in getting a high vitamin amount if my body will just turn majority into waste ya know.

    I take a supplement with it sometimes. Just because it's around the house, lol. I read that you don't absorb a lot of what's in most of the pills however.

    I think a multivitamin with a good b complex would probably be fine. I take GNC Mega for women and I noticed an increase in energy.

    It couldn't hurt though. I don't think you can really OD on b12 like you can with say, vitamin A.

    I used to get huge shots of it jabbed in my butt for a while. In was in conjunction with some other IV vitamins though so i cant tell you if it alone had much of an effect. overall though therepy combined, yes it was good!

    I dont know if B12 works immeadiatly like in the OP. - When people have deficiencies it takes time to correct them and one table alone wont do that. (I was getting jabs 12 times the RDA for instance.)

    Haha, I went to Texas with one of my girls and she told me the manager at the club gives girls b12 shots in the ass for $5. I was like, there is no fucking way I would let a SC manager inject me with anything! Apparently he was a nurse as well and the girls loved it. Said it made them feel like a million bucks. I'm going to ask my doctor for one next time I go in. I've heard the shot is way more effective than the pills.

    Me too. It's the only thing that really works against misquitoes. It's time to start.

    I take liquid B Complex on a daily basis. I carry it around in my purse and take it anytime I get stressed out or feel a "melt down" coming on. I swear by this stuff!!!! I have anxiety soo bad my hands will start shaking. Im not sure about energy, but I KNOW that there are a shitload of B vitamins in Red Bull, so I guess with that plus all of the sugar, it must give u some kind of energy???

    My multi vitamin that I referred to above only has 25 mcg of B12, and it says that's 417% of dv.

    Here's the breakdown of this vitamin, maybe it will help you to at least put all the mcg's into perspective:

    Thiamine (B-1): 10 mg 667% dv
    Riboflavin (B-2): 10 mg 588% dv
    Niacin (B-3): 50 mg 250% dv
    B-6: 10 mg 500% dv
    B-12: 25 mcg 417% dv

    Hope that helps a little
