Vitamin B12

A Vitamin B12 injection is a shot that delivers vitamin B12 directly into the muscle or bloodstream. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that helps your body make red blood cells, maintain healthy nerves, and produce DNA.

Why someone might need a B12 shot

People may develop low B12 levels because of:

* Poor absorption (common with ageing or digestive conditions)
* Vegetarian or vegan diets
* Certain medications (such as metformin or acid reducers)
* Pernicious anaemia
* Fatigue or confirmed B12 deficiency on blood tests

Benefits of B12 injections

When someone is deficient, B12 injections can help:

* Increase energy levels
* Reduce fatigue and weakness
* Support brain function and concentration
* Improve nerve health
* Help prevent anaemia
* Support healthy metabolism and red blood cell production.
