Vitamin B12 Booster
Energy and immune system support
Vitamin B12 helps maintain good health and has been shown to be beneficial in helping to reduce stress and fatigue, improve memory and cardiovascular health, and maintain a good body weight. It can also assist the body in converting proteins, fats and carbohydrates into energy and is necessary for healthy skin and eyes. B12 Injections are better absorbed by the body since they go directly into the blood stream. Alternatives to B12 injections are Oral Vitamins, B12 Patches, Lozenges, Liquid drops and Nasal Spray.
Lack of Vitamin B12 can cause the body to produce abnormally large red blood cells that can’t function properly. This can affect how much haemoglobin each red blood cell can carry, and therefore how much oxygen each red blood cell is able to distribute around the body.
The recommended dosage for adults is usually 1mg every 2-3 months, depending on the level of deficiency.
We recommend to get a blood test done to check for Vitamin B deficiency before booking an appointment. Please bring a copy of your results (with date of test) to your appointment so that we can confirm this booster is appropriate for you.
