Hi Everyone

Alot of people are interested in the benefits of B12 so I decided to copy my search results for all of you who are interested. I hope this is helpful.
I started taking B12 pills yesterday and phentermine last Tuesday. I would say it's to soon for me to be able to report any benefits just yet.
Good luck to everyone


How can it benefit you?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to serious symptoms including nerve damage, weakening of the muscles, depression, failing memory (people with Alzheimer’s often have low levels of it), fatigue, anemia, and stunted growth in children.

This vitamin is crucial for the formation and regeneration of red blood cells, the body’s manufacture of DNA and RNA (our cell’s genetic material), and the proper functioning of nerves. Moreover, vitamin B12 works synergistically with other vitamins (namely folic acid) to lower homocysteine levels. Having elevated homocysteine levels is one of the most important markers for risk of heart disease, and can lead to heart attacks.

Other functions and benefits include its role as an oxygen carrier, metabolizing fat, alleviating neurological disorders, and boosting the immune system.

i called my pharmacist yesterday to see if i could get a b12 shot there as i have never had 1 so i didnt no any info on it he asked me why i wanted it i told him to jump start my sluggishness from weight loss he told me the shot is a rx so a dr has to give it and taken in the pill form your body disposes of it so quickly you get very little of it to absorb something about it going out the urine so it dosent have time to absorb as apposed to the shot which is instantly put into the system so it obsorbs. Any of you who want the shot (and i have heard a lot of women say great stuff like 5 10 even 15 lbs on people who have a lot to lose) Next time you go for a appt ask your dr about getting the shot i think its not real high but tell him its for energy you seem to just drag cause my pharmacist told me when i said weight loss ohh its not used for that so say your tired hope this helps if not call a pharmacist like i did to inquire :grin:

I got a B-12 injection right when I started taking the pills...and I didn't feel anymore energized then I had before. Being a nurse also, I know you have to be really deficient in b-12 to really benefit from a shot.
