Vitamin B12 FAQs

What are the Symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiency?

Many people with stomach or GI issues, such as IBD and Crohn's disease, have trouble absorbing B12 from the gut. Without sufficient absorption, your body will manifest symptoms like neurological issues, memory loss, brain fog, fatigue, heart palpitations, pale skin, muscle weakness, constipation, appetite loss, and infertility.

What are Vitamin B12 Shots?

Vitamin B12 shots are injections containing the synthetic version of cyanocobalamin, used to treat Vitamin B12 deficiency. These injections bypass the digestive system, making them more effective for those with absorption issues.

How is Vitamin B12 Administered?

Vitamin B12 can be administered through intramuscular or subcutaneous injections. Intramuscular injections involve inserting the needle at a 90-degree angle into muscle tissue, while subcutaneous injections are at a 45-degree angle just below the skin.

What are the Vitamin B12 Injection Sites?

Common injection sites for Vitamin B12 shots include the upper arm, buttocks, outer hip, and thigh. The choice of site depends on the recipient's age and other factors.

Is there any Downtime for this Procedure?

No, there is no downtime. You can resume daily activities immediately after receiving Vitamin B12 shots.

Are there any Side Effects of This Treatment?

Minimal side effects include soreness at the injection site for a few hours to a few days. There is a small risk of infection, but Vitamin B12 is water-soluble, and any excess is urinated out, making toxicity highly unlikely.

How Long Does the Effect of Vitamin B12 Last?

The effects of Vitamin B12 shots typically last about one week, though this can vary based on your diet and medical condition.
