These injections benefit hard-core athletes and do high intensity and lengthy workouts.

So Tough... min0... personal opinions?

And you inject in the same areas, intramuscularly, that you would AAS?

I only used it twice.

Characteristic signs, symptoms, and health problems associated with B12 deficiency include anemia, fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, and weight loss [1,3,12].
Deficiency also can lead to neurological changes such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet [7,13].
Additional symptoms of B12 deficiency are difficulty in maintaining balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue [14].
Signs of vitamin B12 deficiency in infancy include failure to thrive, movement disorders, delayed development, and megaloblastic anemia [15].

Many of these symptoms are very general and can result from a variety of medical conditions other than vitamin B12 deficiency. It is important to have a physician evaluate these symptoms so that appropriate medical care can be given.

I'm pretty sure I'm not deficient, but I've heard about benefits in taking the injections anyways.

Any particular reason you quit using B12 injections? Wasn't worth the cost or... didn't work well enough...? Thanks for the info min0.

how often should one do them? and at what dosage?

None at all, in fact I was thinking about taking it again but I need to find out where and how much it costs.

are the effects similiar in oral supplementation?
im not a fan of stickin needles around..... but maybe

How many shots can I get from that?

Well... what doses did you use last time? Want to go with more, less...?

From MayoClinic:

There is some evidence that intramuscular injections of 5mg of vitamin B12 given twice per week might improve the general well being and happiness of patients complaining of tiredness or fatigue. However, fatigue has many potential causes.

This was so long ago....I can't remember.

I do remember my friend telling me they used these shots on alcoholics to boost thier immune system.

The sublingual B12 is absorbed about 80% as well. IMHO, B12 isn't nearly as benificial as B6, choline, inositol or folic acid. I think people like B12 because you can feel it's effects so quickly.
