What is a vitamin B12 add-on?
A vitamin B12 add on is B12 mixed into your IV bag. It costs $32 at our studio and $35 on a mobile visit. You can also get B12 as a shot for $32. The shot takes about five minutes. A registered nurse gives both.
What B12 does in your body
Your body uses B12 to make red blood cells. Those cells carry oxygen to every part of you. B12 also helps turn the food you eat into energy. That is why low B12 feels like being tired all the time.
You cannot make B12 on your own. It comes from food. Meat, fish, eggs, and milk have it. Plants do not. Your liver stores some. But the store runs down over time.
A shot skips your stomach. The B12 goes right into your body. Pills have to pass through your gut first. Some people do not soak it up well that way.
Signs you might want B12
- You feel tired even after a full night of sleep.
- Your brain feels foggy by noon.
- You eat little or no meat, eggs, or dairy.
- You are over 50. The gut absorbs less B12 with age.
- You take a stomach acid reducer or metformin. Some medicines lower B12. Ask your doctor.
- You feel run down after a big weekend.
- You have a long week ahead and want a lift.
- You are on a weekly shot plan and it is time for your next one.
If you think you are low, ask your doctor for a blood test. A test is the only way to know for sure.
