According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, B12 plays a key role in: Making red blood cells and preventing megaloblastic anemia Maintaining healthy nerve function and the myelin sheath that protects nerves DNA synthesis Supporting brain function and preventing cognitive decline Converting food into energy (cellular metabolism) Because B12 is found almost exclusively in animal products meat, fish, dairy, and eggs certain groups of people are at much higher risk of deficiency than others
The typical adult dosage is 0.25 mL to 2 mL per dose, depending on the severity of the deficiency or the clinical indication
While Lipotropic Injections are often marketed as weight loss aids, their effectiveness can vary from person to person
The most widely available form of B12 is cyanocobalamin, but it is not very active or beneficial to the body
At Infinity Med-I-Spa, your health is of the utmost importance to us and your weight loss journey will be monitored by an actual physician
Remember, it is possible for the B12 to leak out of the site if the needle is to short and the injection site is too shallow
