Madonna's B12 shots: Therapeutic or trendy?

At last night's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Justin Timberlake revealed that Madonna told him to drop his drawers so she could administer a B12 shot while they were collaborating. You may recall that Lindsay Lohan was rushed to the hospital for a "shot" when she collapsed on the set of a movie last July.

What the hell is a B12 shot anyway? Well, it's a mega-dose of vitamin B -- administered by a needle. Charlize Theron and Hugh Jackman swear by them too. Prince reportedly gets a B12 fix before each performance.  FYI: B12 has been called the "morning-after shot" because it helps alleviate a hangover; boozing depletes vitamin B from our bodies. When the Rage got a B12 shot last summer, she felt dizzy at first and then nothing. "B12, B.S.," she muttered as she drove away from Cedars with a sore forearm. Thirty minutes later, she felt a slight buzz -- akin to that first glass of white wine at a summer wedding -- and had some extra energy for the rest of the afternoon. To get a B12 shot, see internist Dr. Sabena Toor at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. She gives out about 30 or so shots a week to patients to "reduce stress and increase energy."

I luv them. They are very fabulous and when the needle goes in you can taste the vitamin smell. Does that make sense?It does to me cause I love it! It's a great sensation and good for you, very chic really... just for cool people who aren't pods. And it's been going on for a long time. Oh Yeah!

It is a prescription but not in Canada, that’s where I get it from and a lot cheaper, pills don't work that great, injections are best. Not all B12 is created equal, so beware; you want to use CYANOCOBALAMIN INJECTION USP in 1000mcg version. Buy it in 30ml bottles for best value, keep it at room temperature and away from light, so keep it in the little box it comes in. Usually the product has a year shelf life.
I will share a link from the best place my clients have gotten it from and it is on line http://www.b12-shot.com
I normally don't share links but this is going into your body so get it from a good place, Canada has the highest quality stuff out there and I have used this place numerous times myself, always was a fresh batch with long expire date.
B12 great for energy, weight loss, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, muscle ache, when working out hard you don't get enough through diet
