The discussion kicks off with a comparison of vitamin B12 shots and oral supplements, focusing on their effectiveness. A study that evaluated the ability of both methods to normalize B12 levels is mentioned. The conversation then shifts to the treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency, emphasizing the use of injections and supplements. Finally, concerns about Sano Cobain potentially converting into cyanide in the body are raised.

Are vitamin B12 shots better than oral supplements? What’s the best way to increase your B12? On the surface, it would seem that B12 shots must be better than supplements. Typically, vitamin B12 deficiency is treated with injections because that method bypasses any barriers to absorption. However, oral vitamin B12 supplements might be as effective.
