B12 Vitamin Shot
If you are feeling tired and run down all the time, suffering from unexplained aches and pains and continually falling victim to colds and other infections, then you may have a vitamin B12 deficiency.
B12 is an essential vitamin that you can become deficient in, particularly if you follow a restricted or special diet or if you suffer from certain health conditions or if you are over a certain age.
Heavy smokers and drinkers can also have low levels of B12. A vitamin B12 intramuscular injection (IM) is one of the fastest and most effective ways to boost your body’s B12 levels.
When you book a B12 intramuscular injection treatment, we will carry out a blood test to establish the severity of your deficiency. Once we have this information, we can devise a B12 treatment programme to build up your levels of this valuable nutrient.

Why is Vitamin B12 so important?
The majority of B12 deficient people EAT plentiful amounts of food containing B12, but their bodies can’t absorb or use it. Given the enormous increase of digestive issues and daily stressors (alcohol, environmental pollutants, aging) it’s no wonder so many of us are low on this beneficial vitamin. Other than from our diet, B12 can be obtained through B12 injections. B12 is safe for pregnant women and anyone receiving chemotherapy and radiation.

FAQ
How often can i have a B12 injection?
We limit the rate at which you can have a B12 injection to every 28 days. This is not because it is unsafe to have one more often than this, but that it is more in line with the normal dosing regimens for treating people with deficiencies. We advise having an injection as often as you feel you need one, whether this be on a monthly basis or twice a year or ask your doctor if you are not sure.
Should i do anything in particular before i have my injection?
Not really, but it’s always a good idea to have had your breakfast; it is after all the most important meal of the day for many good reasons. So long as your blood sugar is stable and you’re well hydrated you will be set to go.
How much B12 do I need?
The UK government says adults need 1.5 micrograms (mcg) a day and the European Food Safety Authority says 4mcg a day is adequate. The US and Europe, but not the UK, recommend higher levels for pregnant and breastfeeding women. A study published last year found one in 12 women aged between 19 and 39 were B12 deficient, despite consuming at least the UK recommended minimum intake.
Are there side effects from vitamin B12 injections?
Slight bruising and or soreness at the injection site can occur. There are no known toxic effects when administered at appropriate levels. Allergic reactions can occur with any intramuscular injections.
