Vitamin B12 is an essential compound that we need to maintain the normal functioning of the brain, nervous system and in producing red blood cells. If we do not have enough levels of B12 in our bodies it can show symptoms of tiredness, fatigue, poor memory, mental fog and malaise.
B12 is naturally found in meat, milk, poultry and eggs. It is also a main factor in many vitamin supplements, aimed at increasing energy levels. It is water-soluble so can quickly leave the body via our kidneys without enough of the vitamin being absorbed by our bodies.
When we inject the compound straight into the muscle more of the vitamin is absorbed giving us weeks and months worth of benefit rather than taking a supplement every day.
We have Registered Nurse Practitioners at our clinic and they will give the injection.
It depends on the individual and whether you need just a B12 top up or if you have a deficiency. It’s possible to feel the results in a few hours or days but some people might need to have another injection or a course of injections if they are really low.
We recommend a B12 injection every 12 weeks but this could be longer for some people if they feel that their levels are still good and not suffering with any of the symptoms mentioned earlier.
