5 BENEFITS OF B12 SHOTS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

Some of the potential benefits of B12 shots include a positive impact on one’s mood, energy, weight, red blood cell formation, and immunity.

MOOD

Feeling down? Daniel K. Hall-Flavin, M.D. tells the Mayo Clinic, “Low levels of B-12 and other B vitamins such as vitamin B-6 and folate may be linked to depression.” Studies may be inconclusive, but at the very least, a holistic and integrated approach to one’s health in the form of adequate vitamins and nutrients helps achieve a more balanced biology that certainly won’t hurt your overall mood.

ENERGY

We could all use a little boost sometimes. If your energy is low, it’s possible you have a B12 deficiency. One of the benefits of B12 shots is how quick and easy they are, meaning that you not only get the boost of B12, but you also don’t have to spend time and energy tracking various food sources and/or supplements to get it. B12 shots offer a full dose, all-at-once solution.

WEIGHT

For those with deficiencies, B12 shots provide the potentially useful perk of increasing metabolism. For those struggling with weight loss, it could be worth consulting a doctor to see if B12 injections would help.

RED BLOOD CELLS

Red blood cells are an important part of a healthy, functioning body. One of the benefits of B12 Shots is that they can help your body create more red blood cells.

IMMUNITY

The vitamins contribution to the body’s DNA maintenance process, means B12 supports a healthy immune system that is ready to fight off illnesses year-round.

ARE THERE ANY RISK FACTORS FOR DEVELOPING A B12 DEFICIENCY?

The benefits of B12 shots are most pronounced in those with a B12 deficiency. So, who is most at risk for developing this deficiency?
Some of the biggest risk factors for B12 deficiency are vegetarian/vegan diets, pregnancy/breastfeeding, and aging. (The National Institutes of Health)
Aging can make it more difficult for the body to break down and absorb B12. For this reason, it’s even more important as we age to talk to a doctor about whether or not our bodies are absorbing the vitamins we need.
“It is recommended that adults over the age of 50 increase their sources of vitamin B12 through diet, fortified foods, B12 shots, or other supplements that can increase their B12 consumption.”

(By The National Institutes of Health)

GASTROINTESTINAL ISSUES AND B12 SHOTS

Persons who have gastrointestinal issues are particularly predisposed to issues with B12 deficiencies. When the gastrointestinal tract does not function effectively, it may inhibit the release of B12 from the protein and the absorption that is meant to follow it. Individuals who have had gastrointestinal surgery, such as weight loss surgery, may also have fewer cells through which to secrete stomach acid and intrinsic factor, inhibiting B12 absorption.

ABSORBED DIRECTLY

The key advantage of vitamin B12 injections is the fact that they are absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This delivery method bypasses the gastrointestinal system altogether, so persons in risk groups for vitamin B12 deficiency with gastrointestinal issues may turn to the shot option for a quick means of ensuring their body has sufficient stores of vitamin B12 to effectively function.
