Vitamin B12
A quick vitamin shot of B12 (cobalamin) — a nutrient your body uses every day.
"Vitamin B12 is essential for red-blood-cell formation, energy metabolism, and normal nervous-system function." — U.S. National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements. Individual results may vary.
Vitamin shots are well tolerated by most people, but they're not for everyone. Here's what our provider screens for in person.
A quick shot, and you're on your way. Brief soreness, redness, or a small bruise at the spot is common and typically settles within a day or two.
You have a known allergy or sensitivity to vitamin B12, cobalt, or cobalamin — or you're currently pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.
A history of liver disease, kidney disease, or Leber's disease (a hereditary condition affecting the optic nerve).
Metformin, acid reducers (like omeprazole or other PPIs and H2 blockers), and long-term antibiotics can affect B12 — mention them at check-in.
