B12 Injections
What is Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 is involved in energy production in your body and can improve your energy levels and decrease fatigue. It is also the essential vitamin which is needed for the production of mood-regulating chemicals in the brain. So, having the right balance can improve your mood, sleep, emotions and even help prevent depression.
Vitamin B12 is also known as Cobalamin, that an individual needs to consume to maintain health. Due to the fact that we can only absorb a small amount of Cobalamin, taking Vitamin B12s supplements may offer health benefits.
Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency
Deficiency is common, especially in people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. This is because B12 is only found naturally in animal foods. Unlike other vitamins, the absorption of vitamin B12 depends on a protein produced in your stomach, called intrinsic factor.
Signs and symptoms include:
- difficulty thinking and remembering
- fatigue
- heart palpitations
- pale skin
- weight loss
- infertility
- numbness and tingling in the hands and feet
- dementia
- mood changes
- a sore tongue
- low appetite
- constipation
