B-12 Injections

As you may know, vitamins are one of the major building blocks of our bodies. If we do not have the correct amount of vitamins in our bodies, they can actually stop functioning properly. This imbalance can cause depression, weight gain, fatigue, or other symptoms. Luckily, balancing our vitamin intake is often very simple!

Vitamin B12 In Our Body.

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is an essential vitamin that your body needs, but it cannot produce. Aside from supplements and injections, our diet is how Vitamin B12 enters our body. Foods like eggs, milk, and meat are great sources of Vitamin B12.
