What are B12 Injections?
Vitamin B12 injections are a surefire way to get your daily dose of this essential nutrient, also known as cobalamin. When injected, B12 is more easily absorbed as it bypasses your gut and instead enters the bloodstream directly. This makes B12 injections an optimal choice for those with serious deficiencies and sensitive stomachs. B12 is responsible for numerous functions in the body, including immune health and energy levels, but is often missing from diets, especially among those who abstain from animal products.
What Can Vitamin B12 Injections Do for You?
Vitamin B12 plays a key role in various bodily functions, making it essential for maintaining optimal health. With injections, you get a much higher absorption rate without the hassle of taking a daily supplement. Vitamin B12 injections can help promote red blood cell formation and prevent anemia, minimize the risk of birth issues like neural tube defects and even pregnancy loss, support bone health and prevent osteoporosis, reduce the risk of muscular degeneration and age-related macular degeneration, improve symptoms of depression, regulate overall mood, improve brain health and memory, boost energy levels, assist with skin health, and nail health, and support your metabolism to improve weight management.
What Areas Can We Treat with B12 Injections?
We can treat several areas of your overall wellbeing with B12 injections. From your brain to how you feel every day to your immune system, B12 is essential for good health. We typically inject B12 into the upper arm or other muscular areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are B12 Injections Safe?
Yes, when administered by a medical professional as part of your overall wellness regimen, B12 injections are immensely safe. Your body needs vitamin B12 to function its best, and it is an essential nutrient that is often missing from certain diets, especially those who follow a vegan lifestyle. We use the highest quality B12 to ensure that everything that enters your bloodstream has passed rigorous safety and quality control inspections.
Is There Any Downtime?
No, there is no downtime. You’re good to return to your routine immediately after your shot, though you may experience some soreness from the needle. This should dissipate within several hours.
When Will I See Improvement and How Long Will That Last?
Your body will absorb the B12 immediately after the shot. The amount of time it takes to see improvement varies depending upon individual metabolism and how much B12 your body can process, which will also depend on if you have a deficiency or not. Most patients find improvement lasts 3-4 weeks depending on baseline levels: B12 is a water-soluble vitamin so your body needs more over a set period.
How Much Do B12 Injections Cost?
The price is $25 but subject to change – it is not based on how much is used.
