Never done drops. Only done injections. Great for appetite, mood, energy and overall well-being for me. 1000iu daily on cycle. 1000iu once per week off cycle.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section
Is 1000iu equal to 1000mcg? Cause that's how it comes from my guyQuote:

No. You can't use an even conversion like this across the board. All vitamins will vary results when converting IU to mcg. I'd have to look up the conversion rate but I know that 1000 international units of B12 does NOT equal 1000 micrograms. It's considerably more than 1000 mcg's.
Which version of B-12? I heard the m version is better. I have only taken cyn. and notice no benefit at 1,000mcg per day other than little more hungry.Quote:

Is the b12 injection IM?
At 1,000mcg/day I felt a slight drop in lethargy, on days in which I should be defeated. However, it wasn't anything over the top. I suppose when you're consuming close to 5,000+ Cals a day, it is pretty difficult to be deficient in nutrition (unless you're on the average American's diet).Quote:

Have you tried the M version? The C version has cyanide molecule attached to it. And 2500 would be injecting 2.5ML's everyday. I have never tried the M version but talked to a few people who have taken both and they notice a huge difference between the two - citing the M version is superior.Quote:

I pin B12 IM I don't feel jumpy or go go go, but it makes me very hungry (which is good) and keeps me not tired.
That's what I originally said! I argued with a doctor about this quite relentlessly, in which I was informed that the process of the bubbling can allow for bacterial growth to be contained and cause cystic growth. This apparently is provides a period of time in which white blood cells have a lessened access to the bacterial growth, than if the substance injected was homogeneous.Quote:

I've been mixing oil and water for years with no issues. Bubbling? You can inject bubbles with oil, too. No problem at all. Sterile is sterile.
A few bubbles im won't hurt you.

Again, I'm not concerned with his warning, as I inject the compounds mixed together quite regularly.Quote:
