You may have heard that B12 injections are the (not so new) energy and metabolism booster for vegans and carnivores alike.\u00a0 Promises of weight loss and greater athletic performance are also in the mix, which of course is music to most people\u2019s ears.\u00a0 But is it all it\u2019s cracked up to be and is it worth the money?\u00a0 Let\u2019s look at some facts as well as some here say and then you can decide for yourself.<\/p>\n

A Quick Review: Who Could Become Deficient and Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Allow me first to remind you that B12, like all vitamins and minerals is essential but is unique in that it\u2019s not always easy to find in food sources for Vegans.\u00a0 That\u2019s because it\u2019s found primarily in animal-based foods.\u00a0 It\u2019s also a problem for anyone over 50, breast-fed infants whose mother consumes a vegan diet as well as those who have absorption issues due to stomach surgery, atrophic gastritis or other intestinal disorders or taking certain medications (such as Prilosec, Prevacid, Tagament or Pepsid). Vegan\u2019s who are pregnant are especially susceptible to developing a deficiency since her own B12 stores crosses the placenta and is given to the baby, leaving the mother high and dry unless she is ever vigilant to replace the deficit.\u00a0 For adults, the RDA is 2.4mcg, Pregnancy is 2.6mcg and Lactation is 2.8mcg.\u00a0 Developing a deficiency is NOT what you want.\u00a0 It could mean fatigue, depression, anemia and irreversible nerve damage.<\/p>\n

There are several reasons why a person might choose B12 injections rather than a capsule or oral spray.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They lack Intrinsic Factor:\u00a0 A protein made in the stomach that aids in the absorption of B12.<\/li>\n
  2. They have a gastrointestinal disorder or have undergone gastric by-pass surgery making it difficult to rely on the gut for B12 absorption and so need to bypass that process altogether.<\/li>\n
  3. They believe it will give them an energy and metabolism boost or will increase athletic performance while other supplement forms will not.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Injections: Some facts and comparisons<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. According to a study done by Sports Medicine Journal, when B-complex vitamins are taken individually or in combination at 35-45% of the RDA, a decreased endurance capacity may result in as little as a few weeks.\u00a0 Subsequently, correcting this deficit will in turn correct a lack of endurance and may even give you the feeling of an energy boost.\u00a0 But that energy boost and increase in athletic performance does not happen to those of us that already have sufficient stores according to the research currently out there. (That being said, if you read enough online as to the quoted consumer experience with injections, you would see that a lot of people feel more energetic for having done this, so take that for what it\u2019s worth.)<\/li>\n
    2. B12 is injected into muscle which at least initially involves a health practitioner.<\/li>\n
    3. If you purchase them online the price is anywhere from $25.00\/vial to perhaps $8.99\/vial if you are willing to buy a lot all at once.\u00a0 Having a health practitioner do it for you is an additional expense.<\/li>\n
    4. There are two different forms of B12, Cyanocobalimin and Methycobalamin.\u00a0 The body has to convert the former into its active form which is the latter so injections are almost always come as Methycobalamin, which helpful for those whose body can\u2019t do this.<\/li>\n
    5. It is virtually impossible to overdose on B12 since the colon takes care of any excess so there are not standards set for how many injections you should administer.\u00a0 The general rec. seems to be about 1 per week.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Are there other options when B12 food is scarce or you don\u2019t want to pay for injections?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

      Yes.\u00a0 You can take an oral multi-vitamin or if you can\u2019t rely on your stomach to help in the process, then consider the fact that B12 absorption actually begins in the mouth and then finishes in the stomach.\u00a0 Oral sprays are available in the active form and are considerably cheaper than injections.\u00a0 I\u2019ve already mentioned the cost of injections but compare that to an oral spray which when taken once a day would give you about 175 days worth for about $20.00.<\/p>\n

      Vitamins and minerals always do their job much better when they come to our body through food.\u00a0 Supplements can be very helpful when your diet isn\u2019t all that it should be or when you\u2019re body needs the extra support.\u00a0 But when choosing a supplement, make sure you\u2019re not getting sucked into the latest fad and end up paying for something that you don\u2019t actually need.<\/p>\n
