B-12 administration???

[saturn1]

How do you use B-12...doses, frequency and method of administration?

For arguments sake lets say you have 30ml vials/1000 mcg per ML.

What type of results do you expect or have achieved?

Any info new or old?

Im mixed, but i think it was the timing when i used the b12. I was having a hard time with appetite and fatigue. I didnt get much from the b12. But im thinking my system was so taxed that nothing would have helped. Im temped to try again now that im much more healthy.

I wonder if a total B-complex would be more beneficial. What I read shows B-12 has many benefits but because of commercials always touting "energy" that people become dissapointed and discontinue when there are other non energy benefits to be had.

Man im seeing alot of variation in dosage. the heaviest I read about was 3000mcg eod. Sounds like overkill but claims of longterm use leading to better health and energy kicking in after 6 months......Im looking for info from athletes. Sedentary folks seem to do 1000mcg once a week after a one month daily load of 1000mcg. I do read some evidence leading to believe in slight anabolic/anti-catabolic properties but im guessing this would be minimal and over the long term.

The thing with b12 is that it is a water-soluble vitamin so if your body needs it, it uses it. If your body has any extra that it can't use, it gets flushed away in your urine. Most people need a lot more than they take in from their diet so you can usually expect some increase in energy. I would think that a b-complex would probably be better in the long run though since if you're deficient in b12, you're probably also deficient in other b-vitamins as well. I have also seen the normal dosage for sedentary folks the same as what Cyphon said, but these dosages seem to be mistakenly applied to athletes which I believe have higher needs. IMO, an athlete would need at least 33-50% more than a sedentary person.

Anyone found a new place to get the AgriLabs stuff? I found two places but am still waiting to see if they have it in stock. Website says yes, but who really knows. Speaking of the B-Complex.

Just keeping this in the back of my mind as I'm getting blood work done in the next few weeks. If I am low in B12, just want to be ready. I've been fatigued for months now even with a better diet. So.....just keeping it in mind.
