B12 Vitamin Injection
The B12 vitamin injection is administered intramuscularly, usually into the upper arm or thigh, using a fine needle. The procedure is quick, typically taking just a few minutes. There may be slight discomfort or a mild sting during the injection, but it is generally well-tolerated. The injection delivers a dose of vitamin B12 directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for faster absorption. Results can often be felt within a few hours to days, with continued benefits seen over time as the vitamin helps to replenish your levels and improve overall health.
