Renowned doctors have conducted important studies with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) patients. They gave these patients high doses of B12 injections. The B12 shots dramatically increased ENERGY in 80% of the participants and helped them sleep better. Now, doctors everywhere are administering B12 shots to help their patients have more ENERGY.

The Benefits - Why Do We Use It?

The purpose of the B12 shot is to improve energy levels, thereby making it easier for you to remain on a weight reduction diet and to engage in exercise.

• Helps the body form red blood cells
• Aids in normal function of all body cells
• Gives feeling of energy and well-being for 1-2 weeks
• Helps regulate sleep, mood, appetite and ENERGY!

Sources and Deficiencies

Vitamin B12 is necessary to produce an adequate amount of healthy red blood cells in the bone marrow. Vitamin B12 is available only in animal foods (meat and dairy products) or yeast extracts (such as brewer’s yeast). Vitamin B12 deficiency is defined by low levels of stored B12 in the body that can result in anemia, a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells, which leads to soreness, and weakness in the arms and legs.

Injection vs. Pill

As you get older, your ability to absorb B12 through digestion continually decreases. In fact, many adults are unable to absorb B12 into their body at all! Injections offer a direct method of supplying your body with the much needed nutrient.

Research findings show ample evidence to reveal that injections of 1 to 2 milligrams per day can quickly correct deficiencies. It is not apparent whether smaller amounts, such as the 25 micrograms or so found in multivitamins, are sufficient to cure deficiencies. Such a claim is substantiated by the fact that although oral supplementation with vitamin B12 is safe, efficient and inexpensive and most multi-vitamin pills contain 100-200 micrograms of the cyanocobalamin form of B12, many multivitamins cannot be chewed, which is important for its absorption.

The body’s ability to absorb vitamin B12 is reduced with increasing age. Older people are often detected to have a more potent vitamin B12 deficiency, even in cases where they do not suffer from pernicious anemia. Moreover, an intake of vitamin B12 from food sources decreases with an increase in age, probably because of a lack of stomach acid. The conventional way of fixing a vitamin B12 deficiency has been through intramuscular injections. Experiments also reveal that vitamin B12 intramuscular injections are useful healers of neurological disorders such as progressive memory loss and lethargy.

Routine intramuscular B12 injections at a dosage of 1 milligram per month also helps to lower homocysteine levels in the blood, thereby reducing the probability of heart diseases and strokes. The injections can also serve therapeutic purposes. A vitamin B12 injection acts as a stimulant for energizing the body, through cobalamin, which transmits its “anti-stress” elements to the human body.
