What it is
A vitamin B12 injection delivers B12 directly into muscle. B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue as part of normal physiology.
What it may help with
People choose B12 injections for general wellbeing support. We are honest about the evidence: if we suspect a true deficiency or an underlying cause for your tiredness, we will advise you to see your GP for testing rather than sell you an injection.
Who it may be suitable for
Adults over 18 following a short suitability assessment covering health, medication and reasons for seeking the injection.
Who it may not be suitable for
Not appropriate where symptoms suggest an undiagnosed medical issue, that needs your GP first, and we will say so. Certain conditions and allergies are screened at assessment.
What to expect
A brief consultation, then a quick intramuscular injection, usually into the upper arm. You can return to normal activities immediately.
Consultation & safety
Administered by a registered nurse with full records kept. Honest advice comes first, including advising against the injection where it is not the right answer.
Aftercare
Minimal, occasionally slight soreness at the injection site. Contact details are provided for any concerns.
Possible side effects & risks
Side effects are uncommon and usually limited to temporary soreness, redness or bruising at the site. Allergic reaction is rare and screened for.
