Supports energy and reduces tiredness
Low B12 is a common cause of fatigue and that run-down feeling. Topping your levels back up helps your body make the red blood cells that carry oxygen, leaving you feeling less wiped out.
What Are B12 Injections?
B12 injections, also known as hydroxocobalamin injections, are a quick way to raise your vitamin B12 levels. B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that can exist in several forms, all of which contain the mineral cobalt. Performing several roles within the body, B12 supports the normal function of nerve cells and plays a vital part in the production of healthy red blood cells and DNA.
The injection goes into the muscle rather than through your stomach, meaning it bypasses any absorption problems, which is why many people find it works faster than tablets.
Lots of people don’t get enough B12. It’s mainly found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy, so vegans and vegetarians are more likely to run low. Some people may naturally struggle to absorb it, which is more common as we age, after weight loss surgery, or with conditions such as pernicious anaemia, Crohn’s disease or coeliac disease.
