Vitamin B-12 shots; IM or Sub-Q?

[MaGiCJNG]

I wrote this in the supplements forum and i didnt get any response so hopefuly I can get one here.

Is there any difference between shooting B-12 intramuscular or subcutaneous? Do you get more benefit out of one over the other. The only reason I see people shooting it IM is to get all of their juice out of the syringe.

Also, I see that the preferred dosage is 1000mcg ED. Is this too much or is the the norm? I thought for some reason it should be shot twice a week at a certain dosage but then again, thats why i'm here.

I'm strictly using this as a supplement and nothing more so i'm not sure if that 1000mcg ED is for some other type of use.

Thanks

Finally, an answer haha. Thanks Bene. Have you used b-12 before? If so what was your preference? I think i'm just gonna shoot it into my stomach like hcg.

IM only for me... I would never shoot anything but Hcg and HGH sub-q

Plus I usually mix it with my Test Prop Shot daily sooooo....

Ok so the preferred dosage is 1000mcg a day?

I usually like to do a ton of research with sh1t before I do anything but I cant seem to find much other than deficiency reporting. On the box it says the proper dosage is between 100 and 1000mcg a month. WTF?

On top of it all I see how people say things like, "started taking b12 and feeling tingling in my spine" (saw a few people saying something pertaining to their spine). THEN i read conflicting reports stating that SO FAR, b12 is the only vitamin that has no toxic levels. So I just want to know what would be the best dosage for supplementing b12.

As Bene said 1000mcg a day is fine but is this fact? Not knockin you at all Bene by the way, just curious for myself thats all.

Thanks

No worries on overdosing B12. There is no upper level tolerable intake. At the moment I'm not sure if there's an uppter tolerable intake for other B vitamins since a lot of injectable vitamin b12 solutions contain other B vitamins such riboflavin, niacinmide, etc. If you want, I'll get back to you on that. Just be sure to drink plenty of water. Usually b12 is used for macrocytic anemia, which is treated with just a couple injects a month. Sometimes only once per month. That is why the box says 100mcg to 1000mcg once per month since b12 injections are used to treat macrocytic anemia.

The dosage and frequency of injections depends on what your trying to accomlish. If you're practicing injections for future AAS use, then ed injections are fine. I used to inject 1000mcg ed btw, but then again I was practicing injecting for AAS.

If you're just looking to increase your appetite and energy levels, I'd use it sparingly. Maybe up to a couple times a week. Since, for me anways, the appetite and energy effects dissipate pretty quickly, after a week or so. I'd use it Just when you're run down, or appetite is in the shitter.

As it turns out there is an UL for b-6. From suppliments its only reccomended 100mg. But I remember from nutriton classes in the past it's UL is 200mg. Try not to excede this from supplimenting.

UL for folate is 1000ug from food and suppliments. This is pretty much impossible to reach with out suppliments.

inject 1000mcg once a week in my delt with a 27 gauge insulin needle

Excellent thanks for the posts gentlemen. I'm going to go the route as I had originally thought a while back, 2000mcg a week split up into two injections. I guess i'll do it with my test/mast.

My only other question, which should be my last, is this. I know the delt you are supposed to go to a max of 2cc's...some people go higher. I'm of medium build and I am currently shooting 1.5 cc's in my delt no problem. I would prob stay with the recommended and not exceed 2 cc's. Is this 2 cc's strictly oil based steroids or simply everything?

My thought now is to take the original 1.5 cc's of test/mast and add 1 cc of the b12 which is basically water like. Would this be an issue? I know it wont be with the quads, just concerned with the delts.

Thanks guys!
