NOT IF YOU ARE DEFICIENT. THE DAILY DOSE OF ORAL VITAMIN B12 NEEDED TO 'MATCH' AN INJECTION WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO CONSUME.

THE ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION IS ALSO IMPORTANT, AS MUCH OF A VITAMIN TABLETS POTENCY IS 'LOST' DUE TO WHAT IS CALLED 'FIRST PASS METABOLISM' BEFORE IT EVER REACHES THE SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION.

SHOTS BYPASS THIS MECHANISM, DELIVERING THE HIGHEST AMOUNT POSSIBLE OF VITAMIN B12 WHERE IT IS NEEDED.  

B12 INJECTIONS ARE COMPLIMENTARY FOR MEMBERS

VITAMIN B12 SHOTS ARE VERY SAFE.  ANY 'EXTRA' VITAMIN IS SIMPLY EXCRETED.

​

HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE KNOWN MEGALOBLASTIC ANAEMIA OR LOW POTASSIUM LEVELS, YOUR BLOODS MUST BE MONITORED BY YOUR GP. 

​

​

ANYONE CAN BE VITAMIN B12 DEFICIENT. VITAMIN B12 DEFICIENCY IS BOTH COMMON AND COMMONLY UNDER-DIAGNOSED. MANY OF US DISMISS ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS AS 'FAST-LIVING'.
