B12 Injections

Description

This is an important water soluble vitamin with a long list of benefits. Our bodies do not produce vitamin B12 so we rely on getting it in our food. Meat, milk and eggs are a primary source of vitamin B12. While vitamin B12 is found naturally in a healthy diet, factors like stress and poor eating habits can lead to a deficiency. It has a key role in the normal functioning of our neurological system and helps in the formation of healthy red blood cells. Vitamin B12 provides a boost of energy and plays a key role in digestion and metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. It has been shown to decrease a homocysteine level which reduces our risk of developing heart attacks, strokes or dementia. The B12 we use in the office is Methyl cobalamin which is a highly absorbable form of Vitamin B12. It is felt that this form of B12 is better absorbed and retained within the body than cyanocobalamin which is another type of B12 injection.
