VITAMIN D & B12 INJECTIONS

Give yourself a boost with a vitamin D or B12 injection. Benefits include increased energy levels, improved sleep and healthy hair, skin and nails.

Vitamin B12

B12 injections are typically used as a treatment for a certain type of anaemia (mainly pernicious anaemia). In this type of anaemia, people lack an intrinsic factor in the stomach which is necessary for the absorption of the vitamin. Vegetarians (especially vegans) are also recommended to have B12 injections since their diet is low in animal products, the primary source of B12.

The body's ability to absorb vitamin B12 is reduced with increasing age. Older people are often detected to have a more potent vitamin B12 deficiency, even in cases where they do not suffer from pernicious anaemia.

Here at Elite Vitality Clinic, we offer Hydroxocobalamin B12 injections which is a unique form of vitamin B12, more readily converted into the coenzyme forms than conventional B12 supplements. Deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to abnormal neurologic and psychiatric symptoms. Treatments are administered by Clare who is a registered nurse prescriber so you can be confident of a safe environment.

People with chronic fatigue or anaemia require monthly or 3 monthly injections of vitamin B12 usually because the oral form is not dependable, therefore B12 injections are most effective when taken at regular intervals.
