Great post bro, alot of info that alot of us need to know.

Looks like I will add B-12 to my next mass cycle to help out for the times I force myself to eat when im not hungry

I agree, I was thinking about if I should add some b-12 to my next mass cycle and You have answered that question for me. It seem that there are so many health benifits that it would be stupid to ignore. Great Info and thanks alot!

Where can I get some injectable b-12?

Hey I know a man where you can get your B-12. He is great with customer service and tell him Swollcat34 reffered you to him and he will be happy to do busniess with him. His email address is panabolic@hushmail.com. Good luck and have fun getting big.

pumpnpose has b12 really cheap. I use B12 all year round. I inject 400mcg/day sub q. In my opinion this is a vitamin that should be run all year. Shit for $7 a bottle, there's really no excuses not to run it everyday

yeah i am going to be incorporating into my protocols also. I always feel so tired after my workout and that, seems like it would give a good boost. But i usually never have a loss of appetite when im on i am usually hungry as hell. especially on prop.

So you see good results with 400mcg per day? I may lower mine, I do 1000mcg every now and then, but I don't like the lump it leaves. Plus, when doing GH, HCG and b12 all at the same time, you run out of skin!!
