Feeling Tired? Vitamin B12 Shots Can Make You Feel Better in 24h

Feeling lethargic for no reason? You may be suffering from vitamin B12 deficiency. The quickest and most efficient way to boost vitamin b12 levels is through an intramuscular Vitamin B12 Shot to treat or prevent deficiency. The treatment should always be overseen and delivered by a medical expert. B12 oral supplements are also readily available but these take longer to work and there is no guarantee that the body will absorb them effectively due to the digestion process.

Will B12 injection work right away?

“How soon will I feel less tired after a B12 Injection?”- is the question we get asked a lot. Since B12 shots are injected intramuscularly bypassing the digestive process, they start to work immediately. Typically, our patients experience positive effects between 24-72 hours after the treatment. People with severe deficiencies may require a few injections to start feeling the benefits and will be overseen by a medical professional to ensure accurate dosage to optimise results.

What is Vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12 performs many functions in the body. It is a vital nutrient responsible for keeping the nervous system and blood cells healthy. It also assists in releasing energy from food. Read more about 4 types of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is obtained through food sources such as beef, liver, chicken, fish (trout, salmon, tuna, clams), fortified breakfast cereals, low–fat dairy products, and eggs. It is not found in fruit or vegetable sources.

Who is at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency?

As we age, it can become harder for the body to absorb vitamin B12. Deficiencies can occur with medical conditions such as atrophic gastritis (which causes thinning of the stomach lining), pernicious anaemia, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, lupus, or other immune system disorders and certain medications. Read more about the causes, symptoms, and treatment for vitamin B12 deficiency. Because B12 is obtained through consuming animal-based products such as meat, milk, cheese, and eggs, vegans are at a higher risk of developing a b12 deficiency. Lifestyle factors such as heavy smoking and drinking or a poor diet over a prolonged period can also lead to low B12 levels or deficiency. As the body doesn’t make B12 or store it for a long time, supplementation may be required for those at risk of deficiency.
