I do subcutaneous b12 into the fat at home. I have IM b12 injections at the surgery into muscle.

Oh ok.. how often do you have injections?? Im in my first year so gett8ng used to frequency ..

I'm just over 2 years in. Im presently having b12 injections every 6th day. A long way to go yet.

You can give sc into other areas other then stomach fat.

I uses my thighs hips infact you csn uses arms and anywhere with subcutaneous fat.

I rarely inject my stomach fat. If I do it must be 2" away from your belly button. It goes in quicker from this area.

Ok.. thank you so much.

There's probably very little difference, although nobody has actually tested. One will get into the blood faster than the other (slower is better) but not by much.

I inject I.M. into the Vastus Lateralis muscle which is closest to the surface at the central outside 1/3 of the thigh. Alternating thighs each time ". ( 25G x 1inch needle ) I much prefer this to sub-cut injections into stomach fat . (Sub-cut 30G x 1/2 inch ) You have to find out the frequency you need . You need to inject before the B12 symptoms start to return . This is different for everyone. But it’s somewhere between daily and 3 monthly . I inject weekly . Best wishes .
