B12 Shots...effect on hair?

[*fabulosity*]

Anyone get these? How do they affect your hair? They're supposed to give you some "magical" energy AND boost hair, skin, andnails... I'm thinking about getting them to finish my weight loss journey. Anyone got them and did you see hair growth from it? How regular?

I'm thinking these combined with the Body Balance could be that "deal"...

Thanks ladies!

Do you have B12 deficiency? The shots are usually reserved for deficiency due to decreased intestinal absorption. It has been found that high dose 2000 micrograms of B12 orally may substitute for the injectable dose. Overall think B complex vitamins (oral) are sufficient.

I am not sure if I have one. But these are given for weight loss. They say that the side affects are increased growth for hair and better skin. At least that's what they're touting at the weight loss place. But I would be getting them mainly for weight loss..when I googled most people are only reviewing the weight loss aspect..just wanted to see if any ladies here had tried it for weight loss (or deficiency) and got some hair benefits.

Hi I just started getting b12 shots. its been about three weeks now but I can definitely see the difference in my skin (less breakouts) but as far as hair not yet . I'm taking them for weight loss as well so I will see what it does for my hair....crosses fingers

For weight loss, interesting. Are the injections monthly? What's supposed to be the mechanism for this.

Well I get my shots weekly... but I think the theory behind them is they give you more energy. So instead of working out for my usual thirty minutes I now work out for 1 hour.

I take b12 shots every two weeks, I usually notice energy, my metabolism is faster so I dont get hungry as much.

Skin, hair and nails wise, didnt see a difference- but the energy is amazing!!

Are you ladies getting the B12 shots from your Dr or from somewhere else?

Don't understand this. If your metabolism is faster, you should be getting hungry more often.
