Madonna is one of the fittest 49-year-old celebrities around! Whether she is home, or on the road, she always hits the gym. The above picture was snapped of Madonna leaving her gym in London. It takes lots of energy to keep up your workout routine while jet-setting around the globe. This might be one of the reasons that Madonna self medicates with B12 vitamin injections.

“The Material Girl carries around syringes with shots of vitamin B12, which she uses when she is feeling sick or lethargic. She also shares the wealth and recently gave Justin Timberlake a shot.” - US Magazine

However, before you start stocking up on syringes………

“B12 is also known as the energy vitamin as people who are lacking in it often complain of exhaustion. There are rumors floating around the internet that B12 injections can boost the energy levels of even those who are not B12 deficient, but there does not appear to be any scientific evidence to back this up.” - shopping.guardian

So unless you actually lack the B12 vitamin- these shots are useless. Madonna might also use these injections to try to stimulate weight loss - but if that is the case - that’s another waste of time……

There is no evidence that vitamin B-12 in any form — including vitamin B-12 injections — enhances weight loss. One study published in 2005 suggested that people who took a number of different supplements, including vitamin B-12, gained weight more slowly over a 10-year period than did those who took no supplements. However, many factors have to be considered, including the fact that people who take dietary supplements tend to be more health conscious, which may contribute to better weight management. - mayoclinic.com

So save your backside some pain - B12 injections only boost your energy if you actually lack that particular vitamin, and they do nothing to promote weight loss.
