Vitamin B-12 Injections

If you follow a plant based diet, there is a good chance that your B-12 levels are low.  Regular intake of B-12 helps establish and maintain healthy energy levels.  Even if you do not follow a plant based diet, you still make be deficient in B-12.  If you are constantly fatigued it may be a good idea to speak to a physician regarding your overall levels.

How does B-12 work?

B-12 helps by increasing the red blood cells in our body.  A major function of our red blood cells is to deliver oxygen to our bodies tissues.  More blood red blood cells = more oxygen which then gives our cells more energy!

B-12 Side Effects

B-12 injections have been proven safe and effective over the years.  There is always the risk of allergic reaction anytime a new supplement is administered. However, all East Coast IV teams carry a variety of life saving medications just in case it happens. 

Will you bring a B-12 shot to my home?

East Coast IV clinicians will not travel to administer a single B-12 shot.  Most shots are done in our office, but can always be added into your IV fluids when receiving an IV therapy.  There is a $125 minimum to send a clinician to you, which means there would need to be a minimum of 5 injections to travel to you.
