B-12 Injections are becoming more and more common among health-conscious patients who may be too busy or unable to get proper nutrients in their day to day lives. B-12 is an essential vitamin according to a study done by Harvard stated; “The human body needs vitamin B₁₂ to make red blood cells, nerves, DNA, and carry out other functions. The average adult should get 2.4 micrograms a day. Like most vitamins, B₁₂ cannot be made by the body. Instead, it must be gotten from food or supplements. Over the course of two months, a 62-year-old man developed numbness and a “pins and needles” sensation in his hands, had trouble walking, experienced severe joint pain, began turning yellow and became progressively short of breath. The cause was lack of vitamin B₁₂ in his bloodstream” At MetroMD we don’t just use any B-12 we use the highest grade available known as Methylcobalamin. This is a form of vitamin B12. It can be used to replace levels in patients who don’t have enough and may also be used to treat certain conditions such as neuropathy, ALS, and certain types of anemia. B-12 injections are virtually painless and take less than 2 minutes. For more information check out our video below on B-12 injections.
