    5000 mcg B12

    I started taking 5000mcg vit. B12
    Im not sure if its in my head or what, but i feel really good, energetic and my mind is clearer.
    At work i feel concentrated and not tired at all.
    Could B12 be a reason?

    yes, b12 is a natural energy mover and using it normally results in increased appetite, overall feeling of well-being, and better overall energy

    It's not illegal but it depends on how you are taking the B12, are you taking the depot or the pill form or sub lingual? B12 is effected by the first pass effect, it's not well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract therefore, the sublingual form or the depot for is much more easily absorbed into the blood stream. So depending on the form 5000mcg may not be necessary because there is only so much that the body will benefit from. It will usually fill the deficit that your body has and the rest is wasted. It's also not necessary to take daily, once again depending on the source.

    Yes there are. I just got a vial today. If I can find it (hell I'm a friggin newbie lol) you sould be able too as well. Directions say 100mcg to 1000mcg per month or as directed by your doctor (or words to that effect).

    I've never used it before (other than in a multi) and just hit myself with 25mcg to see if I will notice any difference.
