These buzzy vape cartridges containing vitamin B12 claim to gives you a "better buzz" and "natural energy." But are they really all they're cracked up to be?

Dr. Oz Says

Don't be fooled! I think that unless you're vaping as a means of quitting cigarette smoking, it's a bad idea. Adding vitamins doesn't turn it into a health move. In fact, the American Lung Association thinks you shouldn't vape at all; you really don't want to be putting particles into your system that haven't been tested.

"The lining of the lung airways is easily irritated by foreign matter," says Norman Edelman, MD, a senior scientific adviser for the American Lung Association. That's why e-cigarettes have been known to cause mild bronchitis. What about the energy buzz? Sorry to put a damper on it, but unless you have a B12 deficiency, extra doses of this vitamin won't rev up your engines.

The Verdict

Skip it.
