As I've heard said, the person who benefits most from a B12 shot is the doctor. If your B12 is low but you do not have an absorption issue you can take B12 orally and it will get into your body just fine.

That is what I was told by my current Doc he said that all B with C would work just as well for me as the B vitamin shots. But then it is B6 that I don't get from food not 12.
