Benefits of B12 Injections
Posted: Apr 28th, 2016 at 12:00AM
Vitamin B12 is used in multiple ways by the body. Brain cells, nerve cells, DNA synthesis, and blood cells all need vitamin B12 to function properly, and low levels of this vitamin can cause a wide array of issues in the body including muscle weakness or stiffness, low blood pressure, vision disturbances, incontinence, and mental symptoms.
Since B12 is found in animal products such as meat, dairy, eggs, and fish, vegetarians and vegans are at a higher risk of a deficiency. As we get older, vitamin B12 may also become harder for the body to absorb through the digestive track making the elderly population another group at higher risk of deficiency.
B12 is an important component in red blood cell production, and if the body is unable to properly absorb vitamin B12 from the foods we eat, a condition called pernicious anemia can occur. Symptoms of this condition can include fever and excessive sweating. In this case, a clinician may prescribe vitamin B12 injections for better absorption which can fix these symptoms and increase red blood cell production.;
Vitamin B12 has also become a popular option for people looking to drop a few pounds or gain energy easily. There are lots of places that now offer these injections from small spas to medical practices that give injections on a regular basis. The effects of B12 injections will vary from person to person, and is more likely to show a benefit to those whose serum levels are low.
This important vitamin may also be used in conjunction with other therapies to aid in improving memory and concentration, mood, energy, boosting the immune system, ringing in the ears, depression, sleep disordered, and many other conditions. Always discuss with your doctor the benefits and possible drawbacks of any vitamin before starting with a new program. Your doctor may prescribe you a specific regiment for your B12 injections.
