And please don’t forget that B12 should be given in the muscle, not “subQ”. (Yes, I made that mistake for a while! 😉

Dr. Diana, can you explain why B12 should be in the muscle instead of subQ? I have been having mine subQ for a couple of years no! **sigh**

Sure, it’s because that’s what they said we need to do! 🙂 I’m sure we could Google for the scientific reason, and when things slow down, I’ll look it up! Meanwhile, just understand that it needs to be in the muscle. I’m just glad to know I wasn’t the only one! 🙂

Dr. Diana,
I checked with my naturopath and he is unaware of any scientific information as to muscle absorption of B12 being much different than subQ and so would greatly appreciate if you have a study, paper, etc. to back that up that he can look at. His inquiry into the subject showed that B12 is absorbed just fine subQ and IM is so much more painful that it would have to be a significant enough difference to make IM worthwhile. :ohh:
