I just saw my doc yesterday. He is testing me for B12 deficiency. According to him, shots are the only thing that will work for B12 def. He said I could drink gallons of sublingual B12, and it wouldn’t do me any good because there is some sort of enzyme that either must be made to absorb it or that inhibits absorption, I forget which one.
I am not a Madonna fan either, BTW.
I doubt that she has pernicious anemia or any of the other conditions that prevent B-12 absorption. B-12 is, according to a friend who had to have the shots, a real rush, and this is why the Hollywood world is doing it.
I guess it’s better than cocaine and probably less expensive and harmful. But this is just a star doing stupid star things. If she ate a full meal every now and then and didn’t spend her life working out, she might actually be having fun. But she’s turned into an exercise addict and this is very dangerous for anyone, no matter how many millions and millions of dollars she has...
What you say regarding B12 is correct. However, it’s very unlikely that this is the case here.
Put your money on another moronic celebrity following the latest celebrity fad. Madonna is not known far and wide for her towering intellect.
It depends on why you're deficient. B-12 must be absorbed all along the intestinal wall, and the absorption becomes less efficient as we age. It often happens to people who've had some of their small intestine removed, or who have Celiac disease (causing damage/inflammation to the intestinal wall) AND you must get it from animal protein. Which may be why she's deficient, if she really is.
