Vitamin B12 Injections

B12 injections are recommended for individuals who experience or are at risk of: Vitamin B12 Deficiency – Common in vegans, vegetarians, and those with poor dietary intake. Pernicious Anaemia – An autoimmune condition affecting B12 absorption. Digestive Disorders – Conditions like Crohn’s disease, coeliac disease, or IBS that impact nutrient absorption. Chronic Fatigue and Low Energy – B12 helps boost energy levels and reduce fatigue. Neurological Symptoms – Such as tingling, memory issues, or difficulty concentrating. Older Adults – Natural absorption decreases with age, making supplementation necessary.

Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal-based foods such as meat, fish, dairy products, and eggs. Supplementation may be necessary for those following a vegan diet or those who may not consume enough Vitamin B12-rich foods.

The Vitamin B12 injection is a notably practical approach to tackle Vitamin B12 deficiency. In the UK, hydroxocobalamin is the predominant form of Vitamin B12 injection used. While Vitamin B12 tablets (cyanocobalamin) are accessible over the counter, they are generally considered less effective compared to the injection for addressing severe deficiencies or cases where absorption issues are a concern.

The injection is administered into the muscle, allowing the vitamin to enter the bloodstream directly, ensuring maximum absorption. This is particularly beneficial for individuals whose digestive system may prevent them from absorbing B12 through food or oral supplements.
