B12 - is in Syntheselen

[razter]

I was taking 2000mcg of B12 (cyan) per week. 500-Mon, 1000-Wed, 500-Fri.
Then I purchased Syntheselen, which from what I was told has 250mcg/ml of B12 (cyan) in it. I've been taking 2ml per day for the past few days, so I am now getting 500mcg of B12 (cyan) per day. I don't take the B12 for appetite, I take it for energy.

So now I am actually getting more B12 and don't have the energy boost I used to have.

Anyone know why?

You would only feel the boost when you are deficient. If in doubt, just add some Synthelamin.

Tried It

Now this is very weird. I went from taking 2000mcg/wk SC to 3500mcg/wk IM and didn't feel the extra boost of energy after I switched, even though I was getting an extra 1500mcg/wk IM.

So I tried giving myself extra Synthelamin. Today I gave myself an extra .5 ml injection SC of Sythelamin in the stomach and felt the extra boost.

I thought you absorbed it much faster when getting it IM. Does it make that much of a difference between SC to IM?

Does it make any sense that I actually felt the extra boost today?

Water based absorbtion rates are negligeble between IM or SQ.

Synthelamin is very concentrated per ml B12. You gave yourself more B12 at once than Syntheselen would, and this is additional to the B12 in the selen.

Also, it could have been your diet, your rest patterns, your stress/adrenalin level that day, etc.
If you do feel better with the extra Synthelamin, just use it. As you know, a SQ injection is no hassle at all and any extra will be peed out.

Thanks!

Thanks! Yes, SQ injections are the best and will just use it on an "as needed" basis.
