B12 Injections
Vitamin B12 is your body's powerhouse nutrient, essential for keeping your blood cells and nerves healthy and strong. It plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis, ensuring that your cells can function optimally. When you lack B12, your blood cells may not carry enough oxygen, leading to fatigue and weakness. By supplementing with B12, you can bolster your immune system, gut health, enhance your energy levels, and support overall vitality, helping you to thrive and feel your absolute best!
Almost anyone can benefit from B12 supplementation. It is especially helpful if you are feeling under the weather, constantly tired, or nauseous. Those with anemia, vegans, and vegetarians may not get enough B12 from their diet. Additionally, individuals with digestive disorders often struggle to absorb B12 from food.
Vitamin B12 is generally safe and has not shown to be harmful, even at high doses. However, it can interfere with medications like gastric inhibitors (Prilosec, Prevacid, Tagamet, Zantac) and Metformin. Caution is advised for those with compromised kidneys or kidney disease, and individuals with low potassium levels. Our medical providers can help you decide if B12 is right for you!
