Vitamin B12 for Energy in a packet

I was low.

No, I was out.

My energy was gone. Zapped.  Zero. Nada.

Daily.

I had resolved myself that since I was over 40, I must be doomed to feel that way forever.  My doctor kept saying  for two years -  “Well, you are getting older.  You aren’t going to feel like you are 35″.  And I accepted his answer.

At age 43 it was FINALLY determined with a blood test that I had a  hypothyroid (sheesh, why did it take them so long?).  While 2 years of medication has resulted in some change, it was the complete change I wanted, or needed.  I was 45 going on 60.

I started researching about supplements for energy.  In the mean time, I started drinking all the different energy drinks at the local corner store.  Some tasted like a can full of sugar, some resulted in shaky hands and a fluttering heart which was not a good feeling at all!

Vitamin B12 shots were considered to increase energy.  But injections can be expensive.

During my search for energy, I also learned that B12 is also essential for the metabolism of food, anti-inflammatory components, digestion, bone formation, organ regulation, sleep – the list is endless.

There are two types of B12.

• Cyanocobalamin: A cheaper, man-made form most commonly used as an additive and in supplements.
• Methylcobalamin: A pharmaceutical grade that is the superior form of B12 and  nets better results in less dosage.

In March I found out about a new product (yea, I thought the same thing – SURE sure, ANOTHER new potion or juice).

I decided to number  a list of 1 – 30.  At the end of each day, I was going to really evaluate myself and think about if I was noticing a change or difference in my energy.  I’ll be honest.  I was skeptical.  I very, very skeptical.

At the end of 30 days, I had something written on each day.  Things like:  whites of eyes whiter, slept great, woke up feeling rested, woke up 1 hour earlier than normal, mid morning munchies gone, no 2pm downer, craving for coffee and chocolate gone, clarity of mind, it’s 10pm and I would normally be exhausted-but instead I’m comfortable tired.

After 30 days, hubby was taking notice.  So were my parents.

It’s hard to believe that a nutritional alternative to increased energy can be so easy as ripping open a little packet, pouring it in water and drinking it daily.  Believe it or not, it’s that easy folks!
