Vitamin B-12 injections are a form of supplementation where the vitamin is delivered directly into the body through an injection. Vitamin B-12 plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including the production of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and proper nerve function. The injection method allows for efficient absorption of the vitamin into the body, bypassing the digestive system, which can be particularly useful for individuals with certain conditions or factors that hinder proper absorption through the gastrointestinal tract.

• More energy, mental alertness, and stamina for everyday tasks

• Healthier immune systems

• Improves sleep

• Increases metabolism, thereby aiding in weight loss

• Reduces allergies, stress, and depression

• Improves mood stabilization

• Lessens frequency and severity of migraines and headaches

• Helps lower homocysteine levels in the blood, thereby reducing the probability of heart diseases and stroke

Vitamin B-12 injections are commonly used for individuals who have been diagnosed with a deficiency in this vitamin. Deficiency can occur due to various reasons, such as a poor diet, malabsorption issues, and certain medical conditions. They are typically used as a treatment for a certain type of anemia (pernicious anemia). n this type of anemia, people lack intrinsic factor in the stomach which is necessary for the absorption of the vitamin. Vegetarians (especially vegans) are also given shots of B-12 since their diet is low in animal products, the primary source of B-12. The body’s ability to absorb vitamin B-12 is reduced with increasing age. Older people are often detected to have a more potent vitamin B-12 deficiency, even in cases where they do not suffer from pernicious anaemia.

Deficiency of vitamin B-12 can lead to abnormal neurologic and psychiatric symptoms including ataxia (shaky movements and unsteady gait), muscle weakness, spasticity, incontinence, hypotension, vision problems, dementia, psychoses, and mood disturbances.
