For B12 Nutritional Deficiency "Started taking organic vegan liquid B12. I work out 5 days a week. One month after taking the B12 I began rapidly losing belly fat, which exercise was not doing! Highly recommend for reducing belly fat!"

For Schilling Test "I have been using B-12 inject for close to twenty years. I suffer from thyroid problems and am currently treaded with pills. I also have goiter, fibromyaliga, RHA, osteo being tested for kupus (which is almost a yes for sure) panic disorder chronic. and several other minor thing. My body is in daily pain. I use 1500 cc of b12. this aides in pain relief. as well as mood enhancer also puts u down when ur too highly strung. It also keeps ur skin so pretty. I go weeks when sometimes I forget to take it and my body to screams "please get me the b12." it seems to run ur nervous system. and pain. I take this to ease some parts of pain for what it works on. When the weather is nice 1000 cc a month. it seems to be keeping me normal. love it...."

For B12 Nutritional Deficiency "I feel this helps when I have a flare up with my back in resulting to fatigue and none stop colds, severe joint pain, nerve pain, disc deterioration and other long list of issues. It takes about 24 to feel the effects. I have never had the side effects that I know of or have been lead on to know about through my physicians. I have my liver and kidneys blood check every 6 months and seems to help. So far this is helping and I can only pray it continues to help without the side effects."

For Vitamin B12 Deficiency "I lacked the intrinsic factor to absorb Vitamin B12 from food since I was in my 30s. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2x and now am age 55 I increasingly find that I am dependent on the b12 for energy, mood and weight maintenance. I can tell when my levels are low without a calendar as this usually occurs about 3-5 days before the end of the month when I am do for my shot."

For Vitamin B12 Deficiency "I am 50 Initially I tried it to fight depression and low energy. Hoped it would help me trim off 10 lbs without the need for a diet. At first it helped, but after a few months I started gaining weight and developed muscle fatigue. I literally weakened by about 20% These injections began having a negative effect on me for everything I hoped they would help. I am not taking another one."

"Vitam B12 really helps with depression and has helped me a lot. It's actually helped me more than depression medication (SSRIs). So take a daily multi vitamin with it and/or an energy drink everyday with it and you should feel better."

For Vitamin B12 Deficiency "I was on Vitamin B12 injections years ago and felt good, the thing is my workmates mentioned how I was different. I also have a thyroid problem and have started my injections again. I just didn't know why or what had me feeling so bad. I was diagnosed with BiPolar, but I wonder even with just B12 deficiency or thyroid alone, they have such a impact. But together I am very affected. Once I feel better I will see if I am BiPolar. The B12 injections do help, maybe not instantly, maybe days or longer, but they help 100%."

For Vitamin B12 Deficiency "I started injections about a two months ago. The first month was an injection once a week. Now I go once a month. The only thing I have noticed is a huge increase in back pain. I had to go to the emergency twice! No one told me I might have pain. But it makes sense, my nerves are waking up. Also I feel seriously bloated. Sometimes my jeans fit fine, sometimes they are tight. It's not vanity, I am fighting diabetes with diet and exercise, so the weight changes are disheartening. Other than the pain and bloat I don't really notice much difference."
