B-12 Dosing/Administering

[rissinite]

Just received my B-12 today and am curious how some of you have supplemented with injectable B-12. How much do you recommend (1mL/week?) and what site is best for injection? And is injection just Sub Q?

Thanks

1ml/week will be fine, use insulin syringe u-100, sub Q at belly area.

I have used B12 @1000mcg/1ml every day and every other day via intramuscular injection for help with appetite with great success

sites used:

left and right glutes with 23ga x 1.5in pin
left and right delts with 23ga x 1in pin
left and right quads with 23ga x 1in pin

the injections were easy to administer. experienced no pain, or discomfort in these sites before, during, or after injection.

tried subQ in the abdominal area a couple times and I did not like the feeling of injecting 1ml of fluid under my skin or the lump it left. IM is the only way for me

edited to add: the couple subQ injections were with a 28ga x .5 in slin pin which was 2 injections due to the 1/2 cc syringes.....fuk that 1 shot in the muscle done
