Vitamin B-12 Advice

Quote from some experienced bro on here:
Cyanocobalamin is intrinsically bound during transit through the stomach. There are many necessary factors that determine the amount of B12 that is absorbed through the mucosal cells (such as calcium ion concentartion). A small amount of the total ingested (approximately 1%) can be absorbed through diffusion into the bloodstream, but only if taken in very high doses, one reason why B-vitamin supplements contain say 50,000% of the RDA because of the absorption problems.
Oral absorption is considered undependeable by many doctors for patients with anemia. In a normal diet, B12 is only available in a protein bound form from animal sources (not plant sources).
Cyanocobalamin is rapidly absorbed from intramuscular and subcutaneous injection sites. The compund usually reaches its peak plasma levels within 1 hour after injection. Within 48 hours, approximately 75% of the injected dose will usually appear in the urine.
100 mcg to 1500 mcg seems to be a common injection range. Several bros I have heard typically report 500 mcg or 1000 mcg per injection, say every 3 days or as needed for your specific use (race, heavy lifting night, marathon sex, etc.). You should probably experiment with dosages to see what works best for your energy levels needed. Hope that helps bros.

I thought this was pretty informative. I can't remember the authors name. It was just a day or so ago. There was a thread titled "B12".
