Vit B-6 injections.

[Stosh_112]

New to me, anyone have any experience with injectable v-6? Seen some around and was wondering if its worth my while and what the effects are?

Never really seen B6 injections, just B12.

read something about it some time ago and its was not as recommended as B12, even B12 i think its market driven.

Many places carry a B complex sub-lingual, I like it. I tried B12 injections, too many shots and sub-lingual is proven to work well and it's cheaper.

I have used the B12, could be a placebo for all I know. Did absolutly nothing for me other than cost about 100 bucks.

I would have to wonder if sticking yourself for b6 is worth it. As in, what is the advantage over taking it orally whether sublingual or swallowed?

Because I can think of a major downside... injecting it and dealing with all the possible, albeit unlikely, complications of that.

A good amount of b12 is destroyed when administered orally. However, I fail to see its benefit unless you have a deficiency. Over standard supplementation that is.

There is a benefit when lifting heavily and putting stress on the nervous system, the only way to get a fair amount into your system is either sub-lingual or inject.

I read an interesting article on what alcohol consumption does to your b 12 levels, not good, I'll see if I can find it.

Not sure of the scientific approach, but alcohol depletes your body of b vitamins, which is one of the symptoms of a hangover. I have a friend who swears by b12 after a night of drinking. Where drinking in excess to achieve a hangover is bad for many reasons, b12 is not going to cure a hangover. I tested this theory atfter a friend's bachelor party a few years ago. I never drink, but had a few too many. Gave myself a shot of b12 before going to sleep and still woke up with a hangover. Water is your only friend when it comes to alcohol.

yea booze and muscle dont mix.

In general, alcohol is bad for everything. I believe alcoholics are one of the few groups who are also low in biotin, where a low status is almost unheard of. b12 is also one of the few vitamins that can be stored for a long time, months or years I believe.
