What is Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is an essential vitamin that plays crucial roles in:
- Energy production: Converts food into usable energy
- Red blood cell formation: Prevents anemia and fatigue
- Nervous system function: Supports healthy nerves and brain function
- DNA synthesis: Essential for cell division and growth
- Mood regulation: Involved in serotonin production
Many people don't get enough B12 from diet alone, especially:
- Vegetarians and vegans (B12 is primarily found in animal products)
- People with absorption issues (digestive disorders, age-related decline)
- Those on certain medications (metformin, PPIs)
- Anyone experiencing chronic fatigue or low energy
Key Benefits
✓ Increased Energy & Reduced Fatigue
Many people notice improved energy levels within 24-48 hours. B12 is essential for converting food into ATP (cellular energy).
✓ Improved Mood & Mental Clarity
B12 supports neurotransmitter production. Low B12 is linked to depression and brain fog. Many report better mood and sharper thinking after B12 injections.
✓ Metabolism Support
B12 plays a role in fat and protein metabolism. Some people use B12 as part of weight management or fitness routines.
✓ Better Sleep Quality
Adequate B12 helps regulate melatonin production and circadian rhythms, potentially improving sleep quality.
✓ Quick & Convenient
Takes 2 minutes. No downtime. Can be added to any appointment or booked standalone.
✓ Better Absorption Than Oral
Injections bypass the digestive system, providing 100% absorption compared to ~10% with oral supplements.
Who is B12 Injection For?
B12 injections are ideal for:
- Anyone experiencing chronic fatigue or low energy
- Vegetarians and vegans
- People with diagnosed B12 deficiency
- Those with absorption issues (Crohn's, celiac, IBS)
- Men seeking general wellness optimization
- Anyone wanting a quick energy and mood boost
- Gym-goers and athletes looking for performance support
- People on medications that deplete B12
💭 Not sure if you're deficient? Common signs of B12 deficiency include: constant fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, weakness, tingling in hands/feet, and pale skin. Blood tests can confirm deficiency, but many people with "low-normal" B12 still benefit from injections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does B12 injection actually work?
Yes, especially for people who are deficient or have absorption issues. B12 injections provide immediate, 100% bioavailable B12 directly to your system. Many people notice improved energy, mood, and mental clarity within 24-48 hours.
Does it hurt?
Very minimal discomfort—just a quick pinch. Most people find it much easier than they expected. Takes about 5 seconds.
How quickly will I feel the effects?
Varies by individual. Some people feel an energy boost within hours, others notice gradual improvement over 24-48 hours. If you're severely deficient, it may take 2-3 injections to notice significant change.
How often should I get B12 injections?
Depends on your needs. Common schedules: Weekly for deficiency correction (4 weeks), then monthly or quarterly for maintenance. Some people use B12 "as needed" for energy boosts.
Can I have too much B12?
B12 is water-soluble, meaning excess is safely excreted in urine. There's no established "upper limit" for B12—it's considered very safe even at high doses.
Is it better than oral B12 supplements?
Yes, for absorption. Oral supplements provide ~10% absorption (less if you have digestive issues). Injections provide 100% absorption directly into the bloodstream. If you're deficient or have absorption issues, injections are far more effective.
Can I get B12 when I come in for other treatments?
Absolutely! B12 is a popular add-on. Just mention it when booking or at your appointment. Takes 2 minutes and costs £30.

Very safe. B12 injections have been used for decades with an excellent safety profile. Side effects are extremely rare. Cannot overdose on B12.
