Vitamin B12 Injections

Vitamin B12, a water-soluble vitamin, when injected into the muscle, passes quickly and easily into the blood stream. It aids the formation of red blood cells, vital for carrying oxygenated blood around the body.

In the elderly the ability to absorb enough Vit B12 decreases. It is helpful to mothers and babies in pregnancy, and at breast-feeding. It helps people taking medicines to inhibit the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. There are no contra-indications apart from kidney failure.

Monthly shots do not require any testing.
