Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in many essential bodily functions, including:
- DNA production
- Red blood cell formation
- Nerve cell health and function

Adequate levels of Vitamin B12
Adequate levels of Vitamin B12 are crucial for maintaining energy and preventing fatigue. For individuals with pernicious anemia, B12 supplementation can significantly reduce tiredness and weakness by correcting deficiency.
This vitamin is naturally found in many foods, such as:
- Meat
- Fish
- Eggs
- Dairy products
- Nutritional yeast
- Fortified foods (such as some cereals)
In animal-based foods, Vitamin B12 is bound to protein molecules. During digestion, stomach acid releases the vitamin from protein, and a special protein called intrinsic factor helps the body absorb it into the bloodstream.
However, certain conditions — such as autoimmune atrophic gastritis — reduce stomach acid or intrinsic factor production, making absorption difficult. This can lead to deficiency and, in some cases, pernicious anemia. Similarly, individuals with digestive disorders or those who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery may also struggle with absorption, putting them at risk for deficiency. For these groups, Vitamin B12 injections may be necessary.
What Is a Vitamin B12 Shot?
A Vitamin B12 shot is a form of supplementation that delivers cyanocobalamin (a synthetic version of B12) directly into the body. Unlike oral supplements, which must pass through the digestive tract, B12 injections are given intramuscularly, ensuring rapid absorption.
At About Face Anti-Aging Institute, our med spa experts administer Vitamin B12 injections safely into the muscle. If given intravenously, much of the vitamin can be excreted quickly in urine, reducing effectiveness.
Cyanocobalamin helps replenish and maintain your body’s B12 stores. While B12 is also available in liquid, tablets, capsules, and fortified foods, injections provide a direct, efficient, and highly effective method of supplementation.

Benefits of Vitamin B12 Injections
Enhances Brain Function
Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy nerve cells by supporting the myelin sheath that surrounds them. This protective layer allows nerve signals to travel efficiently, keeping the brain sharp and responsive.
Prevents Anemia
Anemia occurs when the body lacks enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen efficiently. Vitamin B12 is essential for red blood cell production, and low levels can cause megaloblastic anemia, leading to fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Regular B12 shots can help prevent or correct anemia by restoring B12 levels and boosting red blood cell formation.
Supports Mood & Mental Health
Vitamin B12 is closely tied to mental well-being because it helps regulate the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter responsible for mood balance. Deficiency has been linked to depression, anxiety, and irritability. By increasing B12 levels, injections may help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety while promoting overall emotional stability. Regular B12 shots can help prevent or correct anemia by restoring B12 levels and boosting red blood cell formation.
Reduces Risk of Osteoporosis
Vitamin B12 contributes to bone health by supporting bone-building cell activity. Research has shown that people with low B12 levels tend to have lower bone mass and density, which increases the risk of osteoporosis. While studies show mixed results, maintaining adequate B12 levels through injections may help protect bone strength over time. Deficiency has been linked to depression, anxiety, and irritability. By increasing B12 levels, injections may help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety while promoting overall emotional stability. Regular B12 shots can help prevent or correct anemia by restoring B12 levels and boosting red blood cell formation.
May Help Prevent Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Vitamin B12 supports the health of retinal cells, which are essential for clear vision. Adequate B12 intake may help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. In one large study of over 5,000 women, those who supplemented with 1,000 mcg of B12 daily (alongside folic acid and other B vitamins) had a 35% lower risk of AMD after seven years. While this effect cannot be attributed to B12 alone, it highlights the importance of maintaining sufficient levels.
Balances Your Metabolism
Vitamin B12 plays an important role in energy metabolism by helping convert food into fuel. Low B12 levels can slow your metabolism, leading to fatigue and potential weight challenges. By restoring your levels, B12 shots may boost your metabolism, supporting healthy weight management. In fact, one study showed that people who received regular B12 injections were able to lose weight and maintain results for up to two years.
Supports a Healthy Pregnancy
During pregnancy, Vitamin B12 is essential for the healthy development of your baby’s brain and nervous system. Deficiency has been linked to serious complications such as birth defects, low birth weight, and developmental delays. B12 injections can help maintain healthy levels, reducing the risk of these issues and supporting both maternal and fetal health.
Promotes Healthy Hair, Skin & Nails
Adequate Vitamin B12 levels contribute to cell production and repair, which helps keep your hair, nails, and skin looking vibrant and strong. As we age, these areas can suffer from nutrient deficiencies, leading to brittle nails, thinning hair, or dry skin. Regular B12 shots may help improve overall skin vitality, reduce breakage, and support youthful appearance. B12 injections can help maintain healthy levels, reducing the risk of these issues and supporting both maternal and fetal health.
