Most B-vitamins seldom make it through the digestive system without being destroyed by stomach acid. B-12 injections ensure 100 percent absorption.

B-12 is a water-soluble vitamin; meaning you cannot overdose. Whatever isn’t needed will be excreted in your urine.

Vitamin B-12 injections are generally considered to be very safe. They have no major side effects.

Frequency of injections will vary depending on you individual desires and medical condition. 

Our Registered Nurse will consult with you prior to treatment. Together you will customize a plan to meet your needs.

 Some medical conditions require weekly injections. Some chronic illnesses may warrant monthly injections for life.
