the B-shots

I came across a interesting site that I guess would make sense, yet seems really bizarre and a little frightening its called b12-shot.com the site actually sells needles and  vitamin injections of B-complex, B1, B6, B9, and B12. each costing a range between 8.99-30.00 $ what I think is amusing about this is that if a person takes too much of a vitamin substance it either becomes discarded through urine or possible toxicity to your body. This site totally seems unreal, I guess because I've never heard of vitamin inject ables, I don't understand under what circumstances needles would be first choice over simply eating B-vitamin containing foods. what a crazy world.

  2. WOW that is pretty creepy that you can access liquid vitamins that people shoot up, so can people overdose on them? Is there restrictions on age to buy liquid vitamins.

  3. Vitamin B12 is usually given IM (intramuscularly) to elderly people because it requires an appropriate level of HCL in the digestion process to release it from the protein it is bound to. Elderly people often produce less HCL and can become vitamin B12 deficient over time. A once a month IM injection often does the trick!

  4. I know they have B-vitamins in pill form for those who don't get enough in their diet. there are no restrictions on age for buying them because I assume they think people are using them safely and not over dosing themselves. which I personally think should be more monitored, such that using a needle.
