VITAMIN B12 INJECTIONS
Vitamin B12 injections are used to help improve mood, energy, stamina, quality of sleep, mental clarity, improve concentration, increase metabolism and aid in weight loss, support health hair, skin, and nails, and fight off infection.
Why Vitamin B12 is important:
The human body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells, nerves, DNA, and carry out other functions.
Those with a vitamin B12 deficiency will see the biggest benefits of getting a the injection, so look out for common symptoms of B12 deficiency like
-
Fatigue
-
regular headaches
-
feelings of faintness
-
strange sensations, numbness, or tingling in the hands, legs, or feet
-
difficulty walking (staggering, balance problems)
-
a swollen, inflamed tongue
-
difficulty thinking and reasoning (cognitive difficulties), or memory loss
Because B12 is found in meat, vegans and vegetarians may discover they’re deficient, as well as those who smoke, take certain prescription medicines for heart burn or reflux or have certain gastrointestinal disorders such as celiac, Chron’s disease, or ulcerative colitis.
B12 is a water-soluble vitamin, so when you take it in excess, your body is going to eliminate what it doesn’t need. If your B12 levels are within normal and you receive an injection, instead of multiplying your energy, you’ll be wasting money on a treatment that’s only effective if you have a deficiency.
