VITAMIN B12 INJECTIONS
What is all the buzz about Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 is one of the most important nutrients your body needs to support your body’s essential metabolic and hormonal functions. Because B12 not only supports the health of our nervous system and helps us maintain energy production pathways, optimizing our B12 levels can help improve our energy levels, sleep, mood, memory, heart health, and even our waist line.
Do you have a B12 deficiency?
Many health problems are linked to nutritional deficiencies. When your body isn’t absorbing enough B12 from your diet or your multivitamin, it can result in a B12 deficiency which can leave you experiencing health complaints like fatigue, weight gain, insomnia, muscle weakness, memory problems, and depression.
While our bodies need vitamin B12 for all of the above reasons, it is estimated that approximately 15% of people are deficient in B12. Foods like broccoli, spinach, fish, eggs and chicken contain larger amounts of B12, however, we often do not consume enough to achieve the levels that we need to properly fuel our bodies. If you follow a vegan diet or have a digestive disorder, your risk of having a vitamin B12 deficiency is greater.
Why B12 injections?
Did you know that your body only absorbs approximately 20 percent of the vitamins and nutrients we ingest orally (including dietary supplements)? A B12 injection allows this essential nutrient to be delivered directly to your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive system altogether. This allows your body to start receiving the healing benefits of B12 immediately, ensuring that you have the levels you need to maintain your energy levels throughout the day, support healthy metabolism for balance weight, and improve your overall health.
