I heard B-12 gives energy when I went to walgreens I was confused becuase the worker there told me B complex something like that gives more energy then B-12, but what is the difference?

I'm not sure but the vitamins that I just bought from WalGreens, Finest Natural B Complex, has 833% of the recommended daily allowance of B12, plus a lot of other vitamins and minerals. So I think if you take the B Complex you should get both the B12 and the rest, and be energized! On the front of my bottle it says Energy Support.

Some people it works for and others it doesn't.

It doesn't work for me :smile2:

I know a deficiency of B-12 can actually hinder weight loss. My mother has been taking liquid B-12 for almost a year.

In one of my support group meetings we talked about being tired. The dietician suggested to make sure you are getting all your protein in. She discussed that it is the lack of adequate protein that make you feel tired.... jus some food for thought!

If you have low B-12 (B12 deficiency) boosting your B12 will do wonders for you...if you're not low on B12 you can take it by the gallon and it won't do a thing for you....I've been on B12 injections (due to deficiency) for almost 3 months...my energy is up a little but I'm also down 35 pounds...honestly, I think it's more the weight loss than the B12...

I decided to get two shots of b12 in my rear per week at a weightloss clinic:smile2:

when ever I get b-12 Vitamin shots I have tons of energy and lose lost of weight.

Since that is very expensive I started taking the dissolving b-12 Vitamins but they didn't work as well.

So if you need lots of energy get the shot, if you need a little energy take a few of the pills a day.

I have Fibromyalgia and tried the shots regularly for a while. It didn't help me. Sorry.
