Vitamin B12 Injections

Linked to numerous health claims and benefits, Vitamin B12 is required for:

 

  • proper red blood cell formation

  • DNA synthesis

  • Protecting nerves

  • Healthy neurological function

  • Optimum cognitive function.

 

Where vitamin B12 is not easily absorbed and is only found naturally in certain types of food, it can prove difficult to increase levels sufficiently through diet and supplements alone – which is why people look for alternative methods.


Consultation is required prior to administering an injection to check eligibility.

Why have a Vitamin B12 Injection?

As a coeliac, I have been aware for a long time that my body simply does not absorb Vitamin B12 the way that it should.  Running a business and other heavy demands on my time meant that I was constantly tired.  When I started to experience anxiety and low mood I knew I needed to do something.  I started to get regular Vitamin B12 injections – and it was a complete needle mover for me!  My energy returned, my cognitive thinking and memory improved – and my anxiety lifted.

​

I am now a passionate believer in the benefits of Vitamin B12 and am delighted to be offering it to my clients to help improve their health and well-being. 

​

Although Vitamin B12 has not been shown to cause harm, it is important to note that the POM (Prescription Only Medicine) form of Vitamin B12 requires proper care in its use.  There is a minimal risk of overdose where Vitamin B12 is water soluble – meaning that any excess B12 should pass easily through your system – and any side effects of prescribed Vitamin B12 are very rare.

​

That being said, there are certain groups, conditions and medications that would cause a Registered Doctor or Prescriber to either reject a prescription on assessment, or consider careful dosage control and monitoring.

​

There are also different types of synthetic Vitamin B12 and unfortunately many are fake or illegal for use in the UK, so it is vital that the POM being used is legal, genuine and safe to be administered by a properly trained and insured professional.

​

Vitamin B12 has changed my life for the better.  If you would like to know more, contact me for more information or to book your free consultation.
