B12 Injections
B12 (Cobalamin), is one of the eight B vitamins that is needed to ensure the proper functioning and health of nerve tissue, brain function and the production of red blood cells.
Why is B12 needed for the body?
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient your body can’t make on its own. It is needed to form red blood cells and DNA, and it plays a crucial role in the function and development of brain and nerve cells. Vitamin B12 is also important for weight management and is known to be energy-enhancing due to its ability to boost metabolism. B12 works by converting the food you eat into usable sugar (glucose) and other types of fuel that keep your body running smoothly.

- Fatigue
- Weakness & sluggishness
- Strange sensations
