B12 Injections

What is Vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12 is a vitamin that dissolves in water and can be found naturally in certain foods, added to others, or taken as a supplement or prescription drug. Vitamin B12 injections are used to enhance energy, increase metabolism, and aid in fat burning. Additionally, Vitamin B12 is necessary for the formation of red blood cells, proper neurological function, and DNA synthesis. B12 and its impact on the immune system are also noteworthy.

B12 plays a crucial role in developing red blood cells and maintaining DNA, which are essential for maintaining overall health. It also aids in converting food into the energy your body requires. These factors collectively contribute to a strong immune system.

What are the Advantages of B12 Injections?

• Boosts Metabolic Rate: B12 assists in metabolizing fats and proteins, aiding in weight loss.
• Regulates Sleep, Mood, Appetite, and Energy: B12 helps in maintaining a healthy balance in these areas.
• Detoxification and Liver Health: B12 is necessary for eliminating fat-soluble toxins from the body, benefiting the liver’s detoxification process.
• Increases Red Blood Cell Production: B12 aids in the production of red blood cells and prevents anemia caused by deficiency.
• Nerve Health: B12 promotes the production of myelin, a protective fatty tissue around nerves, preventing damage.
• Serotonin Production: B12 contributes to the production of serotonin, a chemical that promotes positive feelings.

The Superiority of Methylcobalamin: A Safer and Natural Choice over Cyanocobalamin for B12 Supplementation

Why should Methylcobalamin be preferred over Cyanocobalamin? Methylcobalamin is a natural form of B12 found in nature, while Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic version that contains a cyanide molecule. Methylcobalamin is better retained and less toxic, making it a safer choice for some individuals who may have difficulty converting Cyanocobalamin in their bodies. Although Cyanocobalamin is more cost-effective and commonly used in medical spas and primary care clinics, Methylcobalamin is considered superior due to its natural properties.

Is it preferable to receive B12 through injections or oral supplements? When B12 is taken orally, the stomach acids break down a significant portion, resulting in limited absorption. Additionally, as you age, your body’s ability to absorb B12 through digestion diminishes. On the other hand, injections and IVs provide a direct route for nutrients to enter the bloodstream, making B12 more readily available for the body to utilize. Therefore, injections are a more effective method of supplying B12 as needed.

How Long Does Vitamin B12 Last in the Body?

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning it dissolves easily in water and is not stored by the body. It is excreted through urine, typically within 24 to 72 hours, depending on a person’s activity level and fluid intake. Since the body rapidly processes Vitamin B12, frequent supplementation is necessary to address deficiencies and maximize its benefits. We recommend weekly injections, but daily injections can be administered if required.
