B12 Vitamin General Description

B12 Vitamin consists of cobalamin and active cobalt-containing substances that belong to the vitamin group. The organic components of the drug include:

• Methylcobalamin.
• Cyanocobalamin.
• Hydroxycobalamin.
• Deoxyadenosyl cobalamin.

These substances are known as B12 Vitamin. When in the body, these component stimulate blood formation processes. This is called the Castle factor.

The compounds are produced by archaea and bacteria under the influence of the natural environment. The human body contains several types of enzymes – methyltransferase and L-methylmalonil.

B12 produces several reactions:

• It stabilizes and accelerates the transfer and substitution of atoms.
• It transports and replaces molecules.

Cobalt-containing components have a cyclic and complex structure. They are quickly broken down, but excreted in small quantities.

The decomposition of cobalamin is carried out in the liver and it then becomes part of the bile, after which the substance enters the intestine and blood, being absorbed by the body further. Studies have found that the complete excretion of B12 from the human body occurs after 1.5 years. The vitamin is best absorbed in injectable form.

The liquid form of B12 Vitamin has a pink translucent shade. The substance binds well with the proteins that are found in blood plasma.

Athletes involved in heavy sports may find B12 of particular value, since it plays a huge part in the formation of protein, a deficiency of which leads to disturbances in the structure of muscle tissue and other adverse processes.

B12 Vitamin is not produced in plant and animal organisms and is the only component that is synthesized by microorganisms. Therefore, it is possible to replenish the amount of cobalamin in the body only by using this drug or produce like lamb, pork liver, beef, chicken eggs, shrimp, milk, mussels, mackerel and cottage cheese.

Therefore, the dose is calculated for each athlete individually, based on the indicated parameters. The recommended daily dosage for an average person is at 1-3 micrograms, for bodybuilders it’s 5-20 micrograms. If the athlete engages in increased physical activity, the dosage may be increased up to 10-50 micrograms per day.

• Anemia – B12 Vitamin is administered once every two days at 30-200 mcg.
• Funicular myelosis – 400-500 micrograms daily for 7 days; an interval of 5 days should see the intake of folic acid.
• If any neurological symptoms are detected, the drug is prescribed twice a month in a single dosage of 200-400 mcg.
• As a supporting drug for remission, B12 is used at 100 mcg twice a month.

The treatment of other types of diseases should employ using B12 Vitamin at 15-500 mcg once a day for 1 to 45 days.

Before taking the drug, users need to determine whether their bodies have a sufficient amount of the vitamin. B12 deficiency may be educed by the following symptoms:

• Anemia caused by decreased production of blood cells.
• Weakness.
• Numbness in the legs, arms.

Regardless if the drug will be used in injectable or tablet form, its effect on the body is the same. However, if the athlete is deficient in the vitamin, injection is preferred for accelerated effects. It is worth noting that vitamin C suppresses the absorption of B12, therefore while using the drug nutrition should be reviewed and the amount of foods rich in vitamin C should be reduced.

Additionally, some AAS can influence the digestibility of B12, which is why the vitamin intake cycle is prescribed after completing a steroid cycle and PCT.
