But here are some general guidelines: Severe deficiencies: Daily shots for 1 week, then weekly shots until levels normalize Moderate deficiencies: Weekly shots until the deficiency is corrected Maintenance dosing : Monthly shots to keep B12 levels optimal Its definitely possible to take B12 shots too often
Hi all, 8 days ago i got my first b12 shot (1000 microgram hydroxocobalamin)
The reconstitution volume also differs: the combo vial uses 2mL of bacteriostatic water rather than 2.5mL, so the unit-to-milligram conversion changes
A few things I quickly learned: If you arent deficient its not going to do much for you Its not cheap Get ready for needles This is not a magic weight loss pill Thats right, youll need to get over sticking yourself with a needle
Our medical suggestion is to have one Vitamin B12 injection at weekly intervals, up to five shots (so five shots over five weeks)
The great thing about vitamin B12 is that, unlike many other vitamins, it is so safe that the FDA has no upper limit
