Anyone have experience / info on b12?

[Aleksandr]

I hate needles so i'm not into the idea of b12 injections.

I was reading up on b12 though, and it says the absorpability isn't so great from supplements. Then one podcast said this: "if you get a sublingual like a vitamin B12 spray for example, or powder that you can put in your mouth, you’ll gonna get far better absorptability and if you really wanna take things to the next level, you would actually do like a vitamin B12 injection" has anyone tried b12 from a mouth spray or something like that?

I've ordered some Stress-pak from some info from @Helen , but i fear maybe that b12 in there wont be absorbed well because its a capsule

I think the storage form is the way to go; hydroxycobalamin

 

[bruschi11]

Heard patches are great.

this.

hydroxocobalamin injection is probably the best universal method

i take it once a week

cured my chronic fatigue after 1 month of treatment of every 3 days for 3 months

 

[Aleksandr]

Oh.. methylcobalamin is the one used in stress pak.

Avoid active or methyl B's if possible.

Quicksilver liposomal b12

Why? Been taking active b2/b12 and like them.

 

[lakehouse]

if you have b12 deficiency symptoms, the first few months will most probably make your symptoms worse. its weird and idk why it happens, but apparently it happens to everyone. my chronic fatigue was unbearable the first month of treatment, and i crashed hard around 2-3 PM afternoon. i google searched why this was happening and same was happening to others. then one day it was the complete opposite

methyl is better than cyano b12

but in rare cases if you cant absorb the methyl, you'll need hydroxo injections

sublingual is better than capsuel

but nothing compares to a high powered needle in your ass lol

If they help its good in the short term, but I think it is best to have your own body create the actives and use your own methylation cycle.

ATTN all fast oxidisers:

"
Vitamin B-12 and Hair Loss
You need vitamin B-12 to form DNA, nerves and red blood cells. If you don't have properly formed red blood cells, they don't carry as much oxygen. A lack of oxygen can cause your hair to grow slowly or fall out. A vitamin B-12 deficiency could also cause scaling or dandruff. Hair loss associated with a vitamin B-12 deficiency would cause your hair to be thinner all over your head, not just in certain spots."

This is me. Dandruff and thinning as well as non existent cobalt on hair test

B12 is also the only water soluble vitamin stored in the liver!!!

This is what I told you. All athletes should be doing b12 injections.

 

[Helen]

@m_arch Zinc is a part of methionine synthase Methionine synthase - Wikipedia. Thus zinc puts more pressure on low b12

Hydroxocobalmin reduces NO, while methylcobalmin should increase NO by turning folates into methylfolate.

Vitamin B12 deficiency does not cause dandruff.

i had INSANE b12 values even post fasting a lot... diffuse loss mostly from drugs; as in up until last year pretty fucking amazing hair... decent now but i will be avenged.
also pretty low cobalt on tei / 50 days ago or so.

 

[dante]

When you say "insane b12 values", i assume that you had Very high B12 values post fasting, right !!

 

[bruschi11]

I get elevated b12 in bloods when my cfs is bad. Read it can be from detoxification issues in liver.

 

[MNK99]

@dante, yeah maybe it wasn't "insane", like I said. But was 1100-1280 or so. That was almost a year ago. And yes, I do mean after fasting.

Maybe lower now... not sure. I think some crazyish people have pretty high B12. Maybe mine's lower now. I thought maybe methylation issues... Again, I didn't really get tests since March last year. I will again in future with some extra time, perhaps. I'm just saying I know some manic people and some super hyper people who also report high B12 (outside of H/S). Not that this means much in isolation. --it could also be liver was working overtime or was jacked up not metabolizing well due to PFS.
