My wife went to the doctor and she said she wanted something for energy and the doctor gave her a B12 shot and said that she could only get one a month. Isn't that useless? I would think that she would need more of this to be effective.

CC I do 500mcgs eod
here is some combined info Alot of it will be redundant from one to another
Vitamin B12 and the metabolic rate
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is naturally found in food such as fish, milk and milk products, eggs, meat and poultry. Fortified breakfast cereals are another source of vitamin B12 and a valuable source for vegetarians. Vitamin B12 is important for good health, necessary for the proper digestion and absorption of foods and for normal metabolism of carbohydrates, and fat. It helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells and is needed to make DNA. Vitamin B12 is bound to the protein in food. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach releases B12 from protein during digestion. Vitamin B12 was isolated from a liver extracted in 1948 and identified as the nutritional factor in liver that prevented pernicious anemia, a deadly type of anemia characterized by large, immature red blood cells. In order to absorb the small amounts of vitamin B12 found in food, the stomach secretes intrinsic factor, a special digestive secretion that increases the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine. Unlike other water-soluble nutrients, vitamin B12 is stored in the liver, kidney, and other body tissues. It can take several years before signs of the deficiency appear, all because of poor dietary intake. Vitamin B12 functions as a "methyl donor." A methyl donor is a compound that carries and donates methyl groups to other molecules, including cell membrane components and neurotransmitters. As a methyl donor vitamin B12 is involved in homocysteine metabolism and plays a critical role in proper energy metabolism, immune function, and nerve function. Therefore, vitamin B12 is clearly an added benefit for anyone wanting to lose weight, as without it, metabolism is not at its peak potential. Dosing for vitamin B12 is dependent on the age of the individual as well as if the patient is pregnant or lactating. Vitamin B12 is necessary in only very small quantities No one has ever reported clear toxicity from vitamin B12.

Inj B12 makes you hungry, energetic and gives you a general 'good feeling' almost instantly.
You inj SQ or IM - it doesn't matter.
There's two types of B12 - cyanacobalamin and hydroxycobalamin.
Cyanacobalamin is a fast acting, in and out within 24 hours ester. This is what 99% of inj B12 out there is. So you have to inj it ED - 1,000mcg.
Hydroxycobalamin is a longer ester, in and out in a week. You can get away with injecting it once a week.
Out of all the B12 on the market, Synthelamin is king. It's 2,000mcg/ml, 100ml, human grade.
It's 1,200mcg hydroxycobalamin and 800mcg cyanacobalamin. It's a stacked relase B12 kinda like sustanon. So you take 1ml and the cyanacobalamin in it kicks straight away and by the time it wears off, the hydroxycobalamin kicks in. So you can take 1ml per week and you'll be fine. I personally like to take 1ml EOD as I like the 'kick' of the cyanacobalamin.
This site now sells it on it's shopping cart, so it's easy for you to get it. 100% legal in the US or anywhere else. Good value too as if you only use 1ml/week it will last you 2 years...

Vitamin B12 - cyanocobamin and cobolamin -
Vitamin B 12, known as cyanocobalamin, cobolamin and also known as the energy vitamin is a very widely researched vitamin, and used in supplementation to a very large degree.
This complex structured compound with its cobalt content forms part of the B group vitamins.
Vitamin B12 - cyanocobamin - is required for
Cobolamin is needed in the manufacture of red blood cells and the maintenance of red blood cells and it stimulates appetite, promotes growth and release energy. It is often used with older people to give an energy boost, assist in preventing mental deterioration and helps with speeding up thought processes. Some people are also of the opinion that it helps with clearing up infections and provide protection against allergies and cancer. This vitamin is also used in the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
Deficiency of vitamin B12
Some symptoms of a deficiency will include a sore tongue, weakness, fatigue, and weight loss, back pain and apathy. It might further result in loss of balance, decreased reflexes, tingling of the fingers, ringing in the ears etc.
A deficiency may also result in the raising of the level of homocysteine in the blood - which in high doses can be toxic to the brain, which may be involved in Alzheimer disease. Severe deficiency may result in pernicious anemia also called Addisonian pernicious anemia.
Another problem that appears in deficiency is the eroding of the myelin sheath - the fatty sheath of tissue, which insulates the nerve fibers in your body.
Dosage
The dosage underneath is the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), but be aware that this dosage is the minimum that you require per day, to ward off serious deficiency of this particular nutrient. In the therapeutic use of this nutrient, the dosage is usually increased considerably, but the toxicity level must be kept in mind.
Male and female up to 1000 mcg per day.
Toxicity and symptoms of high intake
Toxicity not established but people taking vitamin B12 injections may experience skin problems if in large excess, but will normalize once the injections are stopped.
Best used with
Iron, calcium, sodium, potassium as well as vitamin C are good in nutritional synergy.
When more may be required
People on strict vegan and macrobiotic diets are often deficient on Vitamin B12.
Some people suffer from a potentially serious problem, causing the vitamin not to be absorbed in the intestinal tract, which can lead to pernicious (destructive) anemia.
Anybody consuming alcohol should look at their B12 levels or if you take laxatives or antacids regularly.
Older people could also benefit from this vitamin as the intestinal situation changes as you age, and many people older than sixty have difficulty extracting the vitamin from ingested food since the correct stomach acids are not present.
Enemy of vitamin B12
Excessive alcohol can impair the absorption of this vitamin.
Other interesting points
Vitamin B12 can not be manufactured by any plants, and therefore is only found in animal products - therefore a deficiency may happens to people on a strict vegan diet.
Unlike other water-soluble vitamins, B12 needs some 3 hours to be absorbed where other B vitamins are absorbed nearly immediately.

B-12
I posted this once before, so you should find through search.
I have been using B-12 for years. The best way I have noticed is to take a one shot every day for the first five days. Then go one every other day for a week and then twice a week.
After the first month, you maintain one shot a week or keep it at two, depending on how you feel
This has worked great for me over the years.
