I've been taking Superpump 250 for the last month and running out. For me, it's to damn expensive for what it does to stay on it. So today I went to Wal-Mart and browsed around in the vitamins and picked up a bottle of 60 tabs High Potency B-12. B-12 from my understanding gives you energy correct? You take these tabs sublingual, meaning under the tongue, and they absorb in your bloodstream. The bottle claims each tab has 2500 mcg of B-12, otherwise 41,667% of your daily value of B-12. The bottle was 5 bucks. I was going to pop one of these things next time I worked out and see if I saw any energy benefits from it. I realize most of the energy you get from Superpump is probably from caffeine, but hey B-12 worked for Roger right?? Ha jk Let me know what you think.

I used to take B12 when I needed more energy, and it did the trick. Another option that beats caffeine is ginseng.

B12 rocks man. It's a much more subtle energy than you get from cafiene though... If you dont feel it in the first few days of taking it you might want to take a week off of everything to refresh your receptors before you start back up.

I thought that since B-12 is water soluble you couldn't get much effect from it, mabey not.

B12 actually can increase your appetite from what I understand now.. Unless I am wrong.

does b-12 show a noticable difference in energy? like ill be having spring football practice coming up, and every wednesdays we have like agility and speed competitions between our respective positions... would B-12 boost my energy and give me an edge in any way? or would i be better taking a thermogenic like basic cuts or HH?

Doesn't b-12 boost your immune system too? It seems like I got a shot of it one year during my physical because I had a cold and had to get better quick because baseball was about to start up.

B12 isn't an antioxidant, so it wouldn't be the optimal vitamin to take to aid the immune system

How much do you need to take? how about super B complex? Does that have enough b12 to get the effect?

edit looks like i was misinformed!
quote:
Niacin is sometimes consumed in large quantities by people who wish to fool drug screening tests, particularly for lipid soluble drugs such as marijuana.[10][11] It is believed to "promote metabolism" of the drug and cause it to be "flushed out." Scientific studies have shown it does not affect drug screenings, but can pose a risk of overdose, causing arrhythmias, metabolic acidosis, hyperglycemia, and other serious problems (see below).
