What is a B12 Shot?

Updated: May 24, 2022



It is a vitamin B12 injection that prevents you from becoming deficient or boosts deficient levels back to normal.


Vitamin B12 is a vital nutrient your body needs but cannot produce on its own.

It is involved in producing red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and supporting healthy, functioning nerves. Its role in cell production also makes vitamin B12 essential to supporting stronger hair, skin, and nails.


One of vitamin B12's most important jobs in the body is producing red blood cells.

Red blood cells (RBCs) transport oxygen throughout our bodies, including our tissues and organs.


If you have a B12 deficiency, your body produces fewer RBCs. As a consequence, some of your most vital systems become oxygen deprived, which can result in feelings of weakness, shortness of breath, and fatigue.


These symptoms may also point to a more serious underlying condition known as pernicious anemia. People with pernicious anemia lack the intrinsic factor protein that enables them to successfully absorb vitamin B12, even if they get enough from their diet.


In Premier IV Hydration and Wellness, we dispense Methylcobalamin which is a bioidentical form of naturally occurring B12.

Unlike its cousin, Cyanocobalamin, Methylcobalamin is already in a biologically active form, so it can metabolize and get to work much faster!


Healthy, properly formed red blood cells mean your body is getting the proper oxygen and nutrients.


B12 is also a key player in the immune system as it increases your white blood cell count. White blood cells are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. When your count is low, you're more at risk for pathogens entering your system.


People at risk of being deficient in B12 are vegans, vegetarians and people over the age of 50.


B12 injections work quickly; they are the most effective way for your body to absorb Vitamin B12. Within 48 to 72 hours, your body will begin to make new red blood cells. For mild deficiencies, you may need two to three injections over several weeks to notice peak impact.
