B-12 Injections

[bigjd69]

I just got my B-12, 1000mcg/ml 30 ml bottle. What is the best way to take it ie: how many times in a week, the dosage, and is it injected thru a insulin needle or a standard 18 gauge 1.5 syringe? Thanks again for your help everyone.

A slin pin will work fine. I usually use my standard 25g though. 1000mcg/week is the norm, but some go everyday or every other day and so on. Just try it once a week and see how you feel.

What does b 12 exactly do that is so important we need to inject it?

B-12 METHYLCOBALAMIN 1000 mcg 1 or 2 a day

Methylcobalamin is the preferred type. Cyanocobalamin must be converted to methyl or adenosyl cobalamin by the body. Required for fat and carbohydrate metabolism and formation of blood cells. Deficiency results in mental confusion, anemia, homocystenia, brain damage, tinnitus, asthma, and depression. B-12 deficiency leads to heart risk. (Science News 2-16-02) May benefit multiple sclerosis patients. Deficiency is widespread in people over sixty years of age. Blood test to determine B-12 level is recommended. Alcohol, estrogen, oral contraceptives, sleeping pills interfere with utilization. Natural sources are liver, beef, pork, eggs, milk, and cheese, except where soil is deficient in cobalt. (19) Needs calcium for absorption. Microwave cooking destroys B-12.

In a study of 64 patients taking 500 mcg of oral B-12 daily the lowest absorption rate was 1.8 mcg. Since this is less than the 2 mcg daily requirement a 500 mcg dosage would be insufficient. In most cases the mean absorption rate is 1.2 percent of intake. B-12 is widely available in 1000 and 2000 microgram potencies. No known toxicity. (27) For more information see "Oral Cobalamin for Pernicious Anemia, Medicine's Best Kept Secret", an editorial in the January 2, 1991 edition of the Journal of The American Medical Association.

I heard its good to take B-12 and Vitamin E to increase appetitte.

Think we can mix it in with a steroid shot, after-all theyre all oils right?

dude did you not already say that you have 1000mcg/ml???? that would mean that u get 1000mcg's in every ml.... also a ml=cc so on ur insulin pin i would assume u should be able to figure that out
