Vitamin B12 Injection Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin found in foods such as meat, eggs, and dairy products. Deficiency in healthy individuals is rare; the elderly, strict vegetarians (i.e., vegan), and people with chronic GI issues, chronic stress, consume a lot of alcohol, and taking some common medications are more likely to become deficient. If vitamin B12 deficiency is not treated, then anemia, intestinal problems, and irreversible nerve damage may occur. Oral therap...y is not always effective, as some persons lack intrinsic factor, an endogenous substance produced by the stomach and necessary for oral B12 absorption. A vitamin B12 shot will give you extra energy and mood support to help you go through the difficult days! More info about the benefit of vitamin B12 is available here. (Common medications related to increasing Vitamin B12 deficiency risk include: H2-antihistamine, metformin, antibiotics, oral contraceptives, and proton pump inhibitors)
