I started taking B12 at night before bed. 1667% B12.
Since starting this, I am waking up feeling great.
I used to wake up feeling hung over, joints acking, ext..
Now I will sleep 6-7 hours and wake up with a positive attitude
ready to take on the day. Example yesterday I drank about 2 pots of coffee
and was to bed around 2am. I woke up around 9am and feel great.
Normally I would wake up and would feel like shit from the caffiene withdraw.
Instead I feel great. The same with drinking. I got trashed the other night
with my wife, about 6 jack and cokes for me. Took a B12 before bed, and woke
up the next day feeling great. Also it seems like when I take a B12 at night
the next day I wake up looking visually more tone. Is this all in my head or
is B12 really some kind of Miracle Sup. The stuff is cheap too. got 250 pills at sams
for like $6.

sounds too good to be true , are u a rep for B12 or something? ;D u have got me tempted to try a bottle tho...
-
no dude, I am no rep. I am just a programmer who lives on coffee during the week. I used to sleep for 12 hours and wake up with extreme caffiene withdraw. With this stuff I wake up in 7 hours and feel great. I highly recommend you try it out. Just take one before bed, and let me know how you feel when you wake up.

only use methylcobalamin.....not cyanocobalmin. most companies use the latter and its not well absorbed at all.
I use this:

From your results, looks like maybe you were deficient in it to begin with. Supplementing a healthy diet with vitamins is okay, I take B12 too, but make sure you are getting enough from healthy, whole foods. Are you getting enough meat, eggs and milk products in your diet? You are a computer programmer who lives on coffee? I sympathize, but you may wanna add some milk to that coffee. ;D

I win
So you win the "B-12 award." Oooooohhhhhh.
Seriously, though, I take other sources of B-12 as well. The Blue Green Algae is used for a variety of health benefits and may be in a more easily absorbed form.
-
i get enough as it is. if you're vegetarian etc you would probably need to take it.
-
B-12 in oral form is garbage, it's been proven in studies most of it goes to waste, the injectable one does however make a tremendous difference in mood, health and vitality.

"B-12 deficiency can cause anemia, and, if the deficiency is severe enough, irreversible nerve damage may occur. B-12 is also required, along with folate and B-6, to maintain low homocysteine levels. However, true deficiency of this vitamin is rare. Vitamin B-12 is found in abundant quantity in meat, dairy products and eggs, and the body can store enough B-12 to last for years. Note, though, that B-12 is not found at useful levels in any purely plant-based substance. For this reason, total vegetarians (vegans) need to take a B-12 supplement. Deficiency might also occur in people with low stomach acidity, such as seniors or those taking drugs that reduce stomach acid (such as Prilosec or Zantac). The reason is that stomach acid is required to separate B-12 from the proteins in which it is naturally found. People with low stomach acid can still absorb the purified B-12 found in supplements. The RDA is 0.9 mcg for children 1 to 3, 1.2 mcg for those 4 to 8, and 1.8 mcg for those 9 to 13. For individuals 14 years and older the RDA is 2.4 mcg. However, the RDA for pregnant women is 2.6 mcg and for lactating women it is 2.8 mcg. ULs have not been established for vitamin B-12."

Now i know how to use it.
