B12 and other vitamin B complexes support many important systems in the body and promote healthy functioning. At Lakefront Wellness, we offer booster shots of vitamin B12 as well as IV Hydration Therapy that often includes vitamin B12 and other B-complex vitamins as ingredients. B12 vitamin iv therapy injections may help increase energy levels if your levels are low, which in turn can make the path to weight loss much easier.
What is Vitamin B?
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in maintain good health, supporting healthy red blood cells, healthy nerve cells, and proper function of the nervous system. It helps the body build DNA, supports a strong immune system, and is necessary for energy production to combat fatigue. Adequate intake may also support cardiovascular health and has been studied in relation to cardiovascular disease, neurological symptoms, and cancer risk.
Vitamin B12 is primarily obtained from animal products such as meat, eggs, dairy products, and fish, making food sources especially important. Those following vegan diets may experience lower levels due to this. While healthy eating can meet needs for many individuals, some rely on dietary supplements or injections to maintain optimal vitamin b12 levels. The amount needed varies by age and health status, but meeting the recommended daily value is key to overall wellness.
Risk Factors for Low Levels of Vitamin B12
Certain individuals face risk factors that make deficiency more likely, including older adults, people with digestive conditions, and those taking certain medications that interfere with absorption. Individuals who consume little to no animal-based foods may struggle to meet B12 needs through diet alone, even with careful planning.
Additional concerns include reduced absorption from the gut, reliance on supplements taken in high doses without proper monitoring, or difficulty absorbing nutrients despite adequate intake. For some patients, injectable B12 provides a comprehensive approach to restoring levels more efficiently than oral options.
