Having trouble absorbing Vitamin B-12?
Shots and Injections treat B-12 Deficiency
B-12 Shots are commonly administered as a way of treating vitamin deficiencies or as a treatment for people with pernicious anemia. Some individuals may have a hard time absorbing Vitamin B-12 from foods, or may have a diet that is low in this vitamin since it often comes from the digestion of animal proteins. Others utilize B-12 shots as a way to gain more energy and lose weight, though the weight loss may be more of a byproduct of a less sedentary outlook once the energy comes into play. In some cases parents need to be trained how to give vitmain B-12 injections to their children in order to treat deficiences and anemia, but in others people may be treating themselves with home injections and shots. For people who want to avoid the hypodermic route, the use of sublingual vitamin B-12 may be an alternaive assuming that the lymbic system has not been compromised by disease or cancer treatment, whci may remove lymph nodes in the head and neck that would absorb these nutrients.
Notes and Special Information
Special note: Vitamin B-12 should only be injected on the advice of a physician, preferably one who does not burn incense and chant while treating you.
