Vitamin B12 Reviews
For B12 Nutritional Deficiency "Started taking organic vegan liquid B12. I work out 5 days a week. One month after taking the B12, I began rapidly losing belly fat, which exercise was not doing! Highly recommend for reducing belly fat!"
For Vitamin B12 Deficiency "The second lot of injections I had set my anxiety off so bad I had insomnia from not being able to sleep, and this time it's making me feel anxious and making my heart beat so fast. So, not sure I should continue with it."
For Schilling Test "I have been using B-12 inject for close to twenty years. I suffer from thyroid problems and am currently treated with pills. I also have goiter, fibromyalgia, RA, osteo, being tested for lupus (which is almost a yes for sure), panic disorder, chronic, and several other minor things. My body is in daily pain. I use 1500 mcg of B12. This aides in pain relief, as well as a mood enhancer. It also puts you down when you're too highly strung. It also keeps your skin so pretty. I go weeks when, sometimes, I forget to take it, and my body screams 'please get me the B12.' It seems to run your nervous system and pain. I take this to ease some parts of pain for what it works on. When the weather is nice, 1000 mcg a month. It seems to be keeping me normal. Love it..."
For B12 Nutritional Deficiency "I feel this helps when I have a flare-up with my back, resulting in fatigue and non-stop colds, severe joint pain, nerve pain, disc deterioration, and a long list of other issues. It takes about 24 hours to feel the effects. I have never had the side effects that I know of or have been led to know about through my physicians. I have my liver and kidney blood checked every 6 months, and it seems to help. So far, this is helping, and I can only pray it continues to help without the side effects."
For B12 Nutritional Deficiency "I've been getting B vitamin injections for 9 months. Taking with phentermine for weight loss. Have more energy, I sleep fewer hours without being fatigued, and have not been sick once since I started. Lost 40 lbs total with both meds."
For Vitamin B12 Deficiency "I lacked the intrinsic factor to absorb Vitamin B12 from food since I was in my 30s. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2x, and now at age 55, I increasingly find that I am dependent on the B12 for energy, mood, and weight maintenance. I can tell when my levels are low without a calendar as this usually occurs about 3-5 days before the end of the month when I am due for my shot."
For Vitamin B12 Deficiency "Not good, after just two injections I have loss of urinating control, dizziness, feeling not in control. Just feeling peculiar. I have stopped the planned course after two injections. Hoping the effects will pass. Interaction with other taken medications not expected."
For Vitamin B12 Deficiency "I am 50. Initially, I tried it to fight depression and low energy. Hoped it would help me trim off 10 lbs without the need for a diet. At first, it helped, but after a few months, I started gaining weight and developed muscle fatigue. I literally weakened by about 20%. These injections began having a negative effect on me for everything I hoped they would help. I am not taking another one."
"Vitamin B12 really helps with depression and has helped me a lot. It's actually helped me more than depression medication (SSRIs). So take a daily multivitamin with it and/or an energy drink every day with it and you should feel better."
For Vitamin B12 Deficiency "I was on Vitamin B12 injections years ago and felt good. The thing is, my workmates mentioned how I was different. I also have a thyroid problem and have started my injections again. I just didn't know why or what had me feeling so bad. I was diagnosed with bipolar, but I wonder even with just B12 deficiency or thyroid alone. They have such an impact. But together, I am very affected. Once I feel better, I will see if I am bipolar. The B12 injections do help, maybe not instantly, maybe days or longer, but they help 100%."
For B12 Nutritional Deficiency "I am on the shot for my B12, and it works like a charm. I first noticed my feet would burn like someone put a match under my feet and lit it. Since I've gotten it, my feet have been doing better, although just weeks before I get the shot, my feet start to burn, but after I get it, it’s gone. I will probably have this shot for the rest of my life."
For Vitamin B12 Deficiency "My diet is mainly vegetarian fish & chicken hence I have a vit B12 deficiency However I have high energy levels I have recently started vit b12 injections. After the 2nd injection Symptoms commenced which I don’t suffer from normally - high anxiety ,racing heart , high blood pressure diarrhea nausea vomiting. I went back to my holistic doctor & we decided to stop the injections and take only the sublingual and vit b tablets breakfast time We will try injection every few monthe"
For Vitamin B12 Deficiency "I started injections about two months ago. The first month was an injection once a week. Now I go once a month. The only thing I have noticed is a huge increase in back pain. I had to go to the emergency twice! No one told me I might have pain. But it makes sense, my nerves are waking up. Also, I feel seriously bloated. Sometimes my jeans fit fine, sometimes they are tight. It's not vanity, I am fighting diabetes with diet and exercise, so the weight changes are disheartening. Other than the pain and bloat, I don't really notice much difference."
For Vitamin B12 Deficiency "B12 is miraculous for me. I developed anemia from cancer treatment and went on B12 shots which gave me energy and resolved the anemia. I took the shots monthly for two years, I'm not on shots anymore. I take 1000 mg pill one per day."
For B12 Nutritional Deficiency "I started using the combined patches 3 weeks ago. One a week Last week I had buzzing u set my left foot and never connected anything . This week I got palpitations out of the blue! Currently day 4 won’t be using them again as googling led me to this page and others like it. The patches are combined with folate. Slow release…. Can’t say for sure it’s them But the 2 noticing issues only come about since I start using them."
For B12 Nutritional Deficiency "I started reading about the benefits of B-12. I thought it to be something to try. I've noticed that I'm much more alert for a greater portion of the day. I'm not suffering from the afternoon slump."
