Benefits of having B12 injections

Benefits of having the B12 Injection

1.    May help to reduce depression, cognitive decline and dementia: some studies have shown that especially in older people supplementing with vitamin B12 can prevent depression, restore mood control and retain a healthy memory / mental function.

2.    Helps lower fatigue: restoring vitamin b12 to healthy levels can treat anaemia, help with conversion of macronutrients and production of creatine (beneficial for building body mass) and it can also reduce muscle weakness.

3.    Can help improve your metabolism: Some people turn to b12 shots to overcome a sluggish metabolism and even help with weight loss. Because injections may give clients more energy and regulate hormone production, it’s possible to experience changes in appetite, improved sleep and better exercise performance. Some even claim that the b12 shots improve appearance of their skin, hair and nails.

4.    Protects the heart: elevated homocysteine levels have been identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the number one killer of adults in industrialised nations – vitamin b12 needed for conversion of homocysteine and therefore can prevent conditions and complications like heart attacks, strokes and coronary heart disease.

5.    Improves low sperm count

6.    Helps with foetal development in pregnancy (although we do not inject pregnant or nursing mothers )
