Post by: tres_taco_combo on May 22, 2017, 10:03:04 PM

for healthy men who bodybuild - is it worth it? too cheap not to take? a multi b complex is sufficient?  get biggers opinion matters more than google - let me get some scoop.

Some people have absorption of b12 issues

B12 shots used to be for people with mono


I had a dr prescription me a bottle a month - took the shit out of b12 injects thinking it would make me hungry

Gave me energy , might it made me feel better but that was prob the plant

Not very diff than taking a good b12 supplement

Also would inject the bovine b-complex - made me smell like a pharmacy

It's worth it to me when I found out the Clark's Nutrition store across from the gym (like a Whole Foods) was doing weekly "events" where they bring in a doctor to administer B12 shots for $38 apiece. So I started advertising twice-weekly B12 shots for $24.  😀Not bad when the bottle only costs me $7.

Two things I found.
- I got more customers when I switched to 2x weeklyy rather than making them available every day.

-And I got more customers by calling the shots rather than injections for whatever reason.

... anyways besides being worth it to my bank account and Sushi addiction I think the benefits are largely pussy. However I do notice my clients performing a bit better and those couple days post injection period especially after the first couple weeks when they got used to the injection pain which I believe was also mostly mentally

seems a b-complex vitamin is sufficient for men?

also what is a test to see if you are mineral deficient too? assuming certain blood test?

It gives you a lot of energy but very expensive for what its worth.  I did however find a less expensive solution by purchasing B12 and B complex injectibles from a wholesale vet supplier.  Worked fine for my clients at the time.  I also got my hands on Kynoselen which was my best seller and L-Carnitine.  I had boxes of all of this coming in and going out just as fast.  Couldn't keep enough of it... ;D

Below is a link to my website from around 2007.  I stopped selling it a year later after an argument with Vissy and cleared out the inventory.

My Mrs started getting them on a script from the doctor, worked out at over £8 a shot
I bought 10 boxes of 5 shots for less than £10 in Egypt

painful shot, so she says.

I liked, found it gave me a bit more energy.  It's expensive and a hassle to go to the doctor to have it done, and legit injectable vitamins are hard to buy without a prescription(unless you're fine with vet grade). 

Sublingual b12 works well enough

Or you're a really big North Dallas 40 fan -

Seriously can't see a benefit over standard supplementation unless you want the temporary energy boost some folks get from them.

Overwork.  Many people delude themselves, thinking hard work is some sort of substitute for inherent quality.  This delusion leads to never ending fatigue.

Same reason 90% of the world is addicted to caffeine and thinks they "enjoy coffee because of the taste," as if taste-value somehow could be distinct from it's stimulant effect.  ::)
