B12 Injections – Frequently Asked Questions
Pure Health Medicine | Marietta, GA
What is a B12 injection?
A B12 injection is a quick, intramuscular shot that delivers a concentrated dose of Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) directly into the bloodstream. It’s an effective way to correct deficiencies and support energy, metabolism, mood, and more.
Who can benefit from B12 injections?
B12 injections are ideal for individuals who experience:
-
Fatigue or low energy
-
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
-
Mood swings or irritability
-
Trouble losing weight
-
A vegan or vegetarian diet
-
Digestive issues affecting nutrient absorption
How quickly will I feel results?
Many patients report a noticeable boost in energy and mental clarity within 24 to 72 hours after treatment. However, results can vary depending on your current B12 levels and overall health.
How often should I get B12 injections?
Frequency depends on your individual needs. Some patients come in weekly or biweekly for ongoing support, while others schedule injections monthly. Our team will help determine the best plan for you based on symptoms, lab results, and wellness goals.
Are B12 injections safe?
Yes. Vitamin B12 is water-soluble, meaning your body will excrete what it doesn’t need. At Pure Health Medicine, your injection is administered by a qualified provider in a clean, medical environment.
Do B12 injections help with weight loss?
While B12 alone isn’t a weight-loss solution, it plays a crucial role in metabolism and energy production. By improving these systems, B12 injections can help support your weight loss efforts when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
What’s the difference between oral B12 supplements and injections?
Oral supplements must pass through your digestive system, where absorption can be inconsistent. B12 injections bypass the digestive tract entirely, delivering 100% of the vitamin directly into your bloodstream for faster, more reliable results.
Do I need a blood test before getting a B12 injection?
A blood test can help confirm deficiency, but it’s not always required. If you’re experiencing symptoms of low B12, our providers can assess your situation and recommend the best course of action—testing included, if needed.
How long does the appointment take?
The injection itself only takes a few minutes. Your entire visit—from check-in to check-out—can usually be completed in 15 minutes or less.
