can you get b12 injections from your doctor Are Vitamin Shots Right for You? Has your doctor prescribed you

People with diagnosed vitamin B12 deficiency or absorption issues should consider discussing injections with their healthcare provider

More than 1 in 3 people take daily oral supplements and while they can be beneficial, the body's natural absorption process can render up to 85% of a vitamin tablet useless - so only 15% of the active nutrients may actually find their way into the bloodstream

We recommend B12 injections only when a deficiency is confirmed

Drug interactions have not been systematically evaluated

Long-term deficiency might lead to irreversible damage to the brain and nervous system

Finding the right B12 intramuscular dose is key to treating these issues well
