I am gonna have to throw this at yall. For 5 months and 2 weeks I took the liquid form. For the last 2 weeks I got the injectables with a slin pin. I feel absolutely way better than the previous 5 1/2 months. Energy is elevated, mood elevated. I am a firm believer in injectable B12. Throw the rest away. I loaded my system with 1ml every day for 7 days then 2x a week there after.

Thanks for sharing this! I looked into ordering injectables but didn't know which brand to trust and what dosage to buy. I looked at Trim Nutrition but their reviews look made up and they never respond to emails. Can you please share the brand and dosage you're using? And if you don't mind, also, where you got them from and for how much? I'm 11 days post-op and I have no energy! I'm sleeping most of the day; other than being at work. It's terrible. I'd really appreciate any information you can share. Thanks!

Go to your pcp. Anything you order off the internet will be a scam unless you order it from a reliable source. Same as HCG. I just went to my pcp and told him what I wanted and he wrote me up. Your local feedstore may have it also. We used to that B12 for our horses and cows when I was young. Vet grade and human grade are the same. Just Vet grade are usually in bulk lol

I'm wondering what they actually gave you so I can buy it on my own. I do not have insurance.

I'm.wondering why do I have to inject

Absorption varies greatly from

Injection- Up to 90%

Liquid Close to 40 and up to 55%

oral Close to 33 and up to 40%

Why do drug users prefer to inject over oral? Same principal better benefit from the product

My numbers are alittle wrong but not much. When I studied Bioavailability of absorption 12 years ago I saw the chart but this is close enough to what I remember.

Question: I haven't seen anyone weigh in on the SL spray version of B12? I'm having surgery this week, and was thinking it might be a workable solution for me... I am not good at taking meds, period, so this is a whole new world for me!!

My physician sent me home with a prescription for the nose spray on my first visit. It is pricy but the company offers a coupon (which my surgeon supplied with the script) that ensures your out-of-pocket cost won't exceed $25 for a one-month supply. The coupon is good for three uses which will carry you through the first three months post-op. The great thing is that this product has one of the highest absorbsion rates available and you only use once a week with one spray in one nostril. No shots. No pills. No yucky tasting liquid. Do some research and see if you might want to consider this as an option for you.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
