You’re probably not getting enough B12

As much as 15% of Americans don’t get enough vitamin B12 from the food that they eat and the supplements that they take. Not getting enough B12 can result from several factors including age, diet, or health conditions that prevent the body from properly absorbing B12 in the gastrointestinal tract.

We often see patients come in for B12 shots because they’re feeling sluggish or struggling with mental fogginess or concentration issues. We check their vitamin levels, and the source of their symptoms becomes clear – they’re deficient in vitamin B12. Many seemingly healthy women of all ages are deficient in vitamin B12 without knowing it.

Am I getting enough B12?

Unless you’re eating a diet high in certain animal products, you’re probably not getting enough vitamin B12. This critical nutrient only occurs naturally in certain animal products, like beef and liver. Vitamin B12 shots can be especially helpful to vegetarians, as plants do not contain B12. As many as 90% of vegans and vegetarians suffer from a vitamin B12 deficiency.

The foods highest in natural vitamin B12 include:

• Beef
• Liver
• Clams
• Fish
• Poultry
• Eggs
• Dairy products

Many foods are fortified with vitamin B12, such as some breakfast cereals. But you’ll need to check the labels to be sure.

Even meat eaters can have vitamin B12 deficiency

Even if you eat meat and take a multivitamin, you can still be deficient in vitamin B12. One of the reasons that B12 deficiency is so common is that some people have a hard time absorbing it into their bloodstream, even if they eat foods high in B12 and take B12 supplements.

To be able to absorb vitamin B12 into your bloodstream from your digestive system, your body must produce enough of a protein called “intrinsic factor.” Intrinsic factor sounds mysterious, but it’s a critical protein that binds to the B12 in your digestive system and allows it to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Without enough intrinsic factors, your body can’t absorb enough B12 no matter how many supplements you take or meat you eat.

Vitamin B12 shots help you bridge the gap. Since vitamin B12 is injected directly into your bloodstream, gastrointestinal absorption is no longer an issue. The vitamin is delivered right where it needs to go without needing intrinsic factors for absorption.

People at higher risk for B12 deficiency

The ability to produce intrinsic factor, and therefore absorb vitamin B12, decreases with age, which makes vitamin B12 shots especially popular (and helpful) for older patients. Also, people who have had intestinal surgery or weight loss surgery are at greater risk for B12 deficiency. Those with diseases that interfere with the healthy function of the gut, such as Crohn’s disease and celiac disease, are also at risk.

What does a vitamin B12 shot do?

First, we need to talk about what vitamin B12 does. Vitamin B12 prevents a kind of anemia that can make you tired and weak.

It is also critical to several processes in the body, including:

• DNA Synthesis
• Energy Production
• Nerve Cell Health
• Red Blood Cell Formation
• Neurological Function

People who don’t absorb enough vitamin B12 may feel a combination of different troublesome symptoms that can interfere with their daily lives.

Some of the symptoms of not getting enough B12 include:

• Lethargy
• Memory Problems
• Headaches
• Constipation
• Feeling Faint
• Mood Changes
• Mouth Ulcers
• Balance Issues
• Pins & Needles
• Sore or Swollen Tongue

When you address your low levels of vitamin B12 with injections, those symptoms can become reduced or may disappear altogether. Many of our vitamin shots patients report feeling better almost immediately, with the positive effects of vitamin shots multiplying over time.

If your levels of vitamin B12 are low, we recommend having 8-10 injections over the first two or three months of your treatment, then switching to a schedule of one vitamin B12 injection per month for maintenance.

Where can I get weight loss B12 shots?

Our Nore women’s health clinics offer them! Lipotropic B12 shots are a big hit with our clients, not just near our clinics but from women who travel from Kennesaw, Acworth, Cartersville, and other Atlanta cities to get this helpful support for their weight loss goals!

The “weight loss shots” combine B12 with MIC – Methionine, Inositol, and Choline – to assist the body in burning fat, distributing energy, and removing toxins. These weight loss shots are the secret weapon against hard-to-lose fat.

Vitamin B12 shots are the base of the shot, but the added benefits of MIC can help supercharge the way your body burns through fat.

Here’s how they work:

• Methionine is an essential amino acid and antioxidant with a host of positive health benefits. Methionine helps remove metals and free radicals from the body, helps you burn fat, and improves the digestive process. It also aids in helping you feel more energetic as well as helping to build muscle mass.
• Inositol is a lipotropic that boosts metabolism and helps improve mood. It also aids in breaking down cholesterol and reducing your risk of heart attack.
• Choline is the major lipotropic in mammals. It is an essential nutrient for proper liver function. Choline helps your body produce hormones that improve your metabolism and remove dangerous fat from the liver.

To help you lose weight, we recommend starting with two lipotropic B12 shots every week for the first month of your treatment, and then one or two every week after that for maintenance. You can combine lipotropic B12 shots with regular B12 shots to enhance your results.
