B12

Getting B12 shots are a quick and easy way to give yourself a boost of energy when you are feeling tired or sluggish. Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in the healthy production of red blood cells and proper brain function.

B12 deficiency, while first appearing as a lack of energy, can lead to a myriad of health issues, such as anemia, nerve damage, depression, or osteoporosis. To prevent this, man-made forms of Vitamin B12 (hydroxocobalamin or cyanocobalamin) are injected into a muscle along the arm or into the buttocks.
