  • B12 Question

    Got some b12 today and the first thing I notice is it's red. Blood red!
    When you aspirate, how do you know if any blood comes back into the needle?
    How often is everyone taking this?

    Everything I say is my opinion and should not be listened to by anyone.

          I'll bump this. I'd like to know if there are noticeable differences in energy & appetite. What if your B12 levels are normal? Would adding more B12 be worth it? OK Bro's who have experience do you recommend this? How often do you use...I've heard everyday...but and injection for B12 everyday is that worth it?

                  every day for energy and appatite it may take a few days for you to feel the effects ...the body stores 1 year supply of the b vitamins ...after you have reached this point you will create an imbalance in the b vitamins . this imbalasnce causes the body to create cravings for food to restore balance.......( and you have an increase in appatite ) the energy levls are increased by the increase in efficent protein synthsis.....

                    why you need B12 to grow

                    Vitamin B12

                    Introduction -- Functions --

                    Introduction

                    Vitamin B12 is a member of the vitamin B complex. It contains cobalt, and so is also known as cobalamin. It is exclusively synthesised by bacteria and is found primarily in meat, eggs and dairy products. There has been considerable research into proposed plant sources of vitamin B12. Fermented soya products, seaweeds, and algae such as spirulina have all been suggested as containing significant B12. However, the present consensus is that any B12 present in plant foods is likely to be unavailable to humans and so these foods should not be relied upon as safe sources. Many vegan foods are supplemented with B12. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the synthesis of red blood cells, the maintenance of the nervous system, and growth and development in children. Deficiency can cause anaemia. Vitamin B12 neuropathy, involving the degeneration of nerve fibres and irreversible neurological damage, can also occur.

                    Functions

                    Vitamin B12's primary functions are in the formation of red blood cells and the maintenence of a healthy nervous system.

                    B12 is necessary for the rapid synthesis of DNA during cell division. This is especially important in tissues where cells are dividing rapidly, particularly the bone marrow tissues responsible for red blood cell formation. This is important for muscle tissue growth.If B12 deficiency occurs, DNA production is disrupted and abnormal cells called megaloblasts occur. This results in anaemia. Symptoms include excessive tiredness, breathlessness, listlessness, pallor, and poor resistance to infection. Other symptoms can include a smooth, sore tongue and menstrual disorders. Anaemia may also be due to folic acid deficiency, folic acid also being necessary for DNA synthesis.

                    B12 is also important in maintaining the nervous system. Nerves are surrounded by an insulating fatty sheath comprised of a complex protein called myelin. B12 plays a vital role in the metabolism of fatty acids essential for the maintainence of myelin. Prolonged B12 deficiency can lead to nerve degeneration and irreversible neurological damage.

                    When deficiency occurs, it is more commonly linked to a failure to effectively absorb B12 from the intestine rather than a dietary deficiency. Absorption of B12 requires the secretion from the cells lining the stomach of a glycoprotein, known as intrinsic factor. The B12-intrinsic factor complex is then absorbed in the ileum (part of the small intestine) in the presence of calcium. Certain people are unable to produce intrinsic factor and the subsequent pernicious anaemia is treated with injections of B12.

                    Vitamin B12 can be stored in small amounts by the body. Total body store is 2-5mg in adults. Around 80% of this is stored in the liver.

                    Vitamin B12 is excreted in the bile and is effectively reabsorbed. This is known as enterohepatic circulation. The amount of B12 excreted in the bile can vary from 1 to 10ug (micrograms) a day. People on diets low in B12, including vegans and some vegetarians, may be obtaining more B12 from reabsorption than from dietary sources. Reabsorption is the reason it can take over 20 years for deficiency disease to develop in people changing to diets absent in B12. In comparison, if B12 deficiency is due to a failure in absorption it can take only 3 years for deficiency disease to occur.

                    B12 has very low toxicity and high intakes are not thought to be dangerous.

                          well you only see about 15 % absorbtion from a pill and the body for some reason performs a negative feedback loop and doesn't absorb the b12 in the intestin lining
