Cool oh that b12....

so i was in to my doctor few weeks ago..
had the doable saturday appointment and
forgot to ask for the b12 shot.
Its very hard for a working mom
with 3 kids to get myself in for appointments.

SO im lookin online saw this:

B-12, Liquid B-Complex, 2 oz- NF-017
Price : $5.89



Description

Vitamin B-12 (Cyanocobalamin) is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for the maintenance of a healthy nervous system and for the metabolic utilization of fats and proteins. Vitamin B-12 is also essential for the synthesis of DNA during cell division and therefore is especially important for rapidly multiplying cells, such as blood cells. In addition, adequate intake of Vitamin B-12, along with Folic Acid and Vitamin B-6, encourages healthy serum homocysteine levels, thereby supporting cardiovascular health. Because Vitamin B-12 is found only in animal products, strict vegetarians are at risk of developing Vitamin B-12 deficiency and may benefit from supplementation.*
From the FDA's website: ''As part of a well-balanced diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, Vitamin B12 may reduce the risk of vascular disease.

Suggested Use:
Shake well before use. As a dietary supplement, in the morning, take one dropperful, hold in mouth for 30 seconds, then swallow.
this is actually cheaper then going into my doctor being i have
a $20 DOLLAR COPAY FOR VISITS...I wonder if this will be
a good product....even the nascobal is a pain cause i need
the prescription so im searchin around

B-12, Liquid B-Complex, 2 oz- NF-017

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Interesting. I just went for my 6 month check up and they did blood work the other day but havent gotten the results back yet. So i would be interested in knowing about my B12.
and Lisa I agree with you 100% about getting scheduled to get in to see the doctor. Its so hard with work and the kids schedule.
Let us know how that B12 works if you try it.

I'm doing these subligual dots I picked up at Walmart....I will say, I only use them 2-3 times a week...and I notice a difference when I don't! They are just little tablets you let dissolve under your tongue!

wow walmart carries the sublinguals?
do u mind if i ask for how much????

i dunno but even when i do go
i forget to ask for the shot
i dunno i had blood work done
and im sure all is fine or i would have
gotten a call.
can be trying at times
but i just dont have time to get over to the doctor with their hours
and mine for b12 shots. I work 6 am to 6 pm 5 days a week with
my own business.
so it just dont happen and doctors dont have the greatest of hours always.
sigh

I don't remember what I paid for them, but they are 5000 mg (I think)...they say SUPER POTENT on the bottle...and they are by the vitamins...I got like a bottle of 200 for around $5 or $6!
