Hi
I`ve been looking for some answers and experiences about this, but some people say it does nothing others say it boost your energy..So what do you think about getting an inyection of vitamin b-12 once per week when doing intervals and hard workouts, does it help for recovery? Thanks a lot for your answers! |

I had mine today, following a 6 monthly blood test on Monday last. Once you start these things you are on them for life, my body won't absorb B12 from my food the way it should any more. Maybe a good multi vitamin is all you need and some more rest.

Apparently so. I was on fortnightly injections and still got chronic fatigue.

Some people, more so when we age, produce less intrinsic factor in the stomach which is necessary for absorption of B12. Thus, pernicious anemia may result and injections can become necessary. If you want a "boost", try sublingual (under the tongue) B12. |

That's because an excess of one B vitamin, and creating an imbalance/improper-proportion relative to the other B vitamins, will create a defficiency in the other B vitamins. http://www.nspforum.com/faq/index.cgi?read=901 Quote:

What sort of dose? I take 1000mg pills but have never tried the sublingual method. I'll try it now... |
