Vitamin B12 Injections
Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in energy, focus, and mood regulation. For many people, it is also one of the most common deficiencies, often caused by absorption issues, low stomach acid, use of antacids, or a diet low in animal products.
Who It’s For
You may benefit from a B12 injection if you:
- Experience fatigue or low energy
- Have difficulty focusing or feel mentally foggy
- Follow a vegetarian or vegan diet
- Take antacids or have a history of low stomach acid
- Have a known MTHFR genetic variant that affects B12 metabolism
How B12 Injections Help
Injecting methylated B12 directly into the muscle bypasses digestive barriers and ensures your body receives an active form of this crucial nutrient.
For many patients, this leads to improved energy, mental clarity, and overall mood support, especially if oral supplements have not been effective.
What to Expect
This is a quick in-office visit with no prep needed. The injection is typically given in the upper arm or hip and takes just a few seconds. Most people feel a noticeable improvement within 24 to 48 hours.
Your provider may also suggest lab testing or additional follow-up if B12 deficiency is suspected.
