Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I've had B12 shots for at least 25 years. At first it was because I couldn't eat any meat, any animal product whatsoever for over 20 years. (Had to have been a big reason why my adrenals are shot). I keep up the shots because I feel better. I use cyanocobalamin though I understand some people prefer methyl-. For me, I get a definite energy boost the day of the shot so I try to time them on a day when I have to go out in the big bad world. I've gone from taking the shots twice a week (or every five days at widest) when I started SCD to closer to every two weeks now. Very nice not to get stuck so often, but they really aren't that bad and if DH didn't give them to me I think I could learn to do it myself rather than have to troop into the doctor's office just for a shot. How have the B12 shots helped you? More energy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I'd still err on the side of caution with the additives in this product. Glycerin, potassium sorbate, and natural spearmint flavor raises red flags for me. And I'm not too happy to read about glycerol. But that's me. At least, if you notice your body isn't healing, or you start getting symptoms, then you pull this product first. I'll stick with jabbing myself once a month with 1cc of cyanocobalamin and avoid the extra non-active ingredients... Kim M.

Just wanted to pass that along, since the sprays are so convenient. I actually use both. Doesn't seem to bother me. > > jonathan > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
