What are vitamin B12 injections?
Vitamin B12 injections available at Authentic Balance contain vitamin B12, an essential nutrient the body requires to function correctly. B12 is especially useful in maintaining nervous system health, cell metabolism, DNA production, and red blood cell formation.
B12 deficiency often develops due to a low intake of vitamin B12 or an inability to effectively absorb it, resulting in pernicious anemia.
Am I a candidate for vitamin B12 injections?
Our team discusses your symptoms and medical history to determine if you need vitamin B12 injections. He also checks your vital signs, weighs you, completes a physical exam, and orders blood work to evaluate your body’s B12 levels. He personalizes a treatment plan based on your needs.
Symptoms of a vitamin B12 deficiency include fatigue, nerve problems, muscle weakness, mood disturbances, and intestinal issues. People at risk of this vitamin deficiency include older adults, those following a vegetarian or vegan diet, and those with digestive tract abnormalities that affect vitamin absorption.
In addition to vitamin B12 injections, Authentic Balance offers skinny shots, fitness plans, semaglutide, tirzepatide, erectile dysfunction (ED) treatments, and more. Many of the solutions available at Authentic Balance help you reach and maintain an ideal weight.
What should I expect when receiving vitamin B12 injections?
