B12 FAQ
What are the benefits of vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 is beneficial for your whole body. It plays a vital part in DNA synthesis, nerve and blood cell health, and many other bodily functions. B12 injections can help you burn fat and also enhance your energy levels, so they’re often part of the medical weight loss program at Prestige Physicians.
Why do I need B12 injections instead of taking a supplement?
When you take a supplement by mouth, you don’t get the full benefit. It’s normal to lose a significant amount of oral B12 supplements during the digestive process, which could mean you have much less B12 in your body than you think.
But, with B12 injections, there’s no digestive process. The B12 goes right into your muscle, so you get its full benefits. This instant delivery also means you enjoy the benefits of B12 almost instantly while taking it by mouth means you’d have to wait for the lengthy digestive process to complete before feeling the effects of the B12.
How often do I need B12 injections?
It can vary by individual, but many patients have B12 injections once a week, especially when actively working to lose weight.
What do B12 injections feel like?
Everyone has a different pain tolerance, but in general, B12 injections aren’t painful. The injections only take a few seconds, and any minor discomfort fades fast. The best way to ensure a comfortable B12 injection is to be well-hydrated and rested.
Will B12 injections cause insomnia?
B12 injections are natural, so they don’t have the type of stimulants that make you feel agitated like caffeine can. But, they can definitely boost your energy levels quite a bit, so it’s generally best to have your B12 injections earlier in the day versus later.
Where on my body is the B12 injected?
The Prestige Physicians’ providers inject B12 into your muscle for maximum rapid absorption. Usually, your provider injects the B12 just above the buttocks, in the hip area.
