What Are the Benefits of B12? 

The B12 vitamin assists in the production of DNA in red blood cells and helps keep your nervous system healthy. Because your body cannot produce B12 on its own, you must consume foods that contain this vital vitamin. As B12 is found in animal products, vegans and vegetarians may have low levels of the vitamin and need supplements, such as injections. 

 

B12 has many benefits for the body. You may be deficient in B12 if you are tired all the time and lack the energy to get through the day. Otherwise, you may feel fine. Your energy will instantly rise when you take a B12 injection. Additionally, it has been shown to help prevent heart disease and boost your memory, among many other benefits.

  • Boosts Metabolism

    It is your metabolism that breaks down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into energy. If you don't consume enough vitamin B12, your body can't properly metabolize food, so losing weight becomes a challenge.

  • Prevents Anemia

    Anemia can be prevented by taking vitamin B12. Healthy red blood cells stay small, while unhealthy ones lacking B12 grow and have difficulty moving into the bloodstream. Symptoms of anemia include weakness and fatigue.

  • Supports Bone Health

    Vitamin B12 deficiency has been linked to osteoporosis, which can result in low bone mineral density. The less-dense your bones are, the more likely they are to break and develop osteoporosis. Women are particularly susceptible to this disease.

  • Decreases Symptoms of Depression

    Science on the subject is relatively new, but vitamin B12 has been linked to improved mood. There is evidence that serotonin production drops with B12 deficiency, which may lead to symptoms of depression.

How Often Should I Get a B12 Shot?

Depending on your health and symptoms, you may need to receive B12 injections more often. Depending on your situation, you may need to take shots once, twice or even three times per week.

During a long and sustained period of time, if you don't get enough B12 through your diet, you will need the shots regularly. Vitamin B deficiencies can take some time to overcome. If you have a temporary deficiency, your doctor may recommend less frequent shots. 

If you are trying to lose weight, your doctor may prescribe vitamin B shots. The recommended dosage would be one every week.

What Are the Symptoms of B12 Deficiency?

What are the symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency? Following are the most common symptoms of a B12 deficiency. People who lack sufficient B12 notice crippling fatigue that can make it difficult to get through the day. This kind of exhaustion is not the same as not getting enough sleep. In some cases, people feel it in their bones, deep tiredness that makes it difficult to wake up and push through work, school, or other daily responsibilities. 

 

A B12 deficiency is most common in people over 50. Getting enough vitamin B becomes more difficult as we age. You are also at risk if you are vegan or vegetarian because meat and other animal products contain the most vitamin A. 

 

Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause: 


  • Pain in the mouth or swelling of the tongue
  • Cognitive challenges and memory loss
  • Losing your balance
  • Blurred vision
  • Dizziness
  • Tingling or numbness in the fingertips
  • Shortness of breath

Are There Side Effects to B12 Injections?

A B12 shot may cause mild side effects, such as itchiness where the shot was administered, swollen skin, and diarrhea. These symptoms should be reported to your doctor. Rarely, people may experience allergic reactions to the injections or experience a rash or swelling around the mouth.

Other Ways to Get Vitamin B12 

You can also boost your B12 levels by adding more of the vitamin to your diet. B12-rich foods include:


  • Eggs
  • Meat
  • Poultry
  • Shellfish
  • Milk and dairy products


You can boost your B12 levels with vegan products fortified with B12, such as cereal or nut milk. Nutritional yeast is also an excellent source of vitamin B12. Consult your doctor about taking vitamin B12 supplements.
