Vitamin B12 plays a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system and in the formation of the building blocks of every cell in your body. B12 can help provide energy, clarity of mind, enhanced sleep, improved mood, a boosted immune system, increased physical stamina, and potentially aid in weight management.

There are many natural ways to gain Vitamin B12, mostly through eating; Vitamin B12 is naturally found in animal products, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products. One of the reasons for Vitamin B12 deficiency, though, is due to poor absorption of vitamin B12 during the digestive process.

We recommend getting a B12 injection every 3-4 weeks.
