I’m taking B12 shots in conjunction with some other medication and I find that I’m not tired all day. I’m not hyper, by any means, but I feel really evened out and alert the whole day. How does this happen? Is it something in my brain? Is it something in my body?

Well actually, Vitamin B12 doesn’t give energy directly, but it helps your body in ways that can make you feel more energetic.
B12 is needed for your body to turn food into glucose, which is a type of sugar that your cells use for energy. It also helps your body make red blood cells, which carry oxygen to your cells. If your cells get more oxygen and can make energy efficiently, you feel more awake and alert.
