Vitamin B-12 Shot

Vitamin B-12 Shot in New York, NYC

Combat vitamin B-12 deficiencies with a vitamin B-12 shot administered in our office or at home!

When it comes to vitamin deficiencies, vitamin B-12 is one of the most common. This vitamin is crucial in red blood cell production and brain and nerve function. Most healthy individuals get adequate amounts of B12 in their diets. However, some can become deficient due to a variety of reasons including:

  • Being a vegetarian/vegan (as B12 is found mostly in animal products)

  • Being elderly 

  • Having intestinal disorders (which can inhibit the absorption of important vitamins and nutrients like B12)

In these cases, a supplement is needed. While you can opt for oral supplements, injections are typically recommended because they bypass the stomach and are sent directly into the bloodstream. This means no nutrients are wasted when you get B12 intravenously as opposed to oral supplements.

Price: $100 In-Office | $200 At-Home
