VITAMIN B12
Price: $20
Vitamin B12, also known as cyanocobalamin, is an essential water soluble vitamin that is necessary for brain and spinal cord functionality, peripheral nerve cells health and regeneration, red blood cell formation, DNA production, and metabolism. Due to certain medical conditions patients cannot absorb an adequate amount of vitamin 12 from their stomach which leads to B12 deficiency. These patients require B12 injections in order to bypass the GI system. We often see a lack of vitamin B12 in many vegans or vegetarians as B12 is usually found in animal products as well as with chronic use of certain medications. Vitamin B12 deficiency leads to spinal cord lesions, anemia, fatigue and cognitive problems.
Boosts Cognitive Performance
Vitamin B12 deficiency has been linked to cognitive problems and memory loss in adults. B12 is extremely important for your brain function as the vitamin helps to speed up your brain processes by regenerating nerve fiber sheaths in your neurons. With a vitamin B12 shot, your neurons can regenerate better and faster.
Energy Boost
Vitamin B12 helps with the production of red blood cells that transport oxygen throughout your body to produce energy for your organs. It also works to help your body convert food into glucose, which supplies the necessary energy used throughout your day. Many patients with a vitamin B12 deficiency report the feeling of tiredness or fatigue even after a good night’s sleep led by failure to adequately create the energy your body requires. With a vitamin B12 shot, your energy levels will significantly increase, making you feel stronger and well rested.
Prevents Anemia
Vitamin B12 is essential to the creation and regeneration of red blood cells, also known as hemoglobin, which transport oxygen and nutrients throughout your body to other cells. When you suffer from a deficiency in B12 or low hemoglobin, you may experience megaloblastic or pernicious anemia, health conditions that can cause you to feel lethargic, weak and even pale in color. By increasing your vitamin B12 intake with injections, you will be able to properly develop your red blood cells, or hemoglobin, which will transport oxygen and nutrients effectively throughout the cells of your body to produce the energy that your body requires.
Improves Your Appearance
Vitamin B12 helps with the development and reproduction of new cells including those in your skin, nails and hair. With a vitamin B12 deficiency, dermatologic issues can arise such as hyperpigmentation and inflammation. You can also experience discoloration in your nails and slow hair growth, which can impede on your appearance. With a boost of vitamin B12, you can begin to see improvement to these visible symptoms, which will boost your overall confidence and self-esteem.
VITAMIN B-COMPLEX (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6)

B-complex vitamins play essential roles in catabolic and anabolic metabolism. These water soluble vitamins are excreted in urine and require repletion daily. The B vitamins are identified as follows: thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6) act as coenzymes in several enzymatic processes that support every aspect of cellular physiological functioning, including major functions within the brain and nervous system. Any B vitamin deficiency can negatively affect mitochondrial metabolism of amino acids, glucose, and fatty acids through the citric acid cycle and electron transport chain.
Thiamine (B1) deficiency symptoms: fatigue, anorexia, impaired reaction to stress, endocarditis, arrhythmia, irritability, sleep disturbances, peripheral neuropathy and confusion. Severe deficiency causes Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.
Riboflavin (B2) deficiency symptoms: stomatitis, cheilitis, glossitis, dermatitis, eye irritation, cataracts, anemia, fatigue, migraines, personality changes.
