Rebekah , here is good information : Why Do B12 Injections Hurt?
Your B12 injection pain level (or the lack of pain) depends on the following factors:
Method of Administration
If you’ve ever had muscle pain after a B12 injection, it’s probably, well… because you injected into muscle tissue! Intramuscular (IM) B12 shots do have quite a sting, which is unfortunate, because it discourages many people from self-injecting.
However, IM delivery isn’t necessary. B12 has a long history of effective subcutaneous delivery (SQ), with minimal to no muscle pain after B12 injections. If you have some body fat, you’ll barely feel anything. Just ask our readers who self-inject SQ daily.
SQ delivery is also extremely safe and easy to self-administer. Unlike IM delivery, there’s no risk of nerve injury. Remember, diabetes patients around the world self-inject insulin daily using SQ delivery. It’s our recommended method of B12 delivery, especially if you self-inject. And again — there’s no muscle pain after B12 shots when done this way.
The Solvent
Another cause of painful B12 injections could be the solvent used to dissolve the B12 powder in the vial. Numerous studies, such as this one, have found severe levels of pain with water-based injections, and little to no pain with saline-based shots.
But, why do B12 shots hurt so much when dissolved in water?
Our body is saltier than water....
@Melissa i got these as well as I'm always showing up b12 deficient, despite a well rounded diet. My question is its hard to find a recommended protocol. Is 1 5mg apooule 1x week 2x a week or 3 times a week a good option. I use to go to those health clinics and would pay 600 dollars for a package but they are very sketch with the amount a b12 as they claim it's a proprietary blend blah blah blah
I just watched your video. Thank you for the info. I decided to do 5 points under each eye and used .4ml of product total. I tend to swell up badly so I was hoping if I used less and do more frequent protocol I'll still see results. What do you think

On January 1, 2023, I embarked on his carnivore diet journey, and I have stuck with it ever since. In this video, we’re...
So amazing. My husband goes on and off carnivore. When he's on it I try and cook the best I can but I also love my veggies so I meal prep veggies for myself. Also I love meal prepping different types of meatballs, chicken, turkey ect with different flavors as it's easy to meal prep. Fiy if you guys don't already know pork rinds make an amazing substitute for bread crump. Just throw it in a food processor.
