Unless you have a disease or have serious trouble getting nutrients from your food into your system (you would know, and you should see a doc, normally old age). For normal people, all the B-12 you need will come from your food. Your body doesn't need all that much, it stores what it needs in the Liver and the stuff it can't use it pisses out.

Throwing extra into your blood will only hurt your wallet.

For the most part, B-12 shots are only given to the very old. This is because their digestive system is fucked and can't process enough, thus supplements directly into your blood are helpful.

People doling them out en-mass are just making some cash off your stupidity.
Maybe that's why I feel so much better. I am always short on everything because of my Crohns.

Found out a testerone test is $39. Going to get one because I've always wondered if being so sick as a teen could have fucked that up. Seems like puberty was going strong, slowed down and picked back up when others slow down. I couldn't even grow much facial hair until my late 20s. Luckily it decided to slow down after the part where your appendages grow or I would have been fucked.
