Neuron Medical offer three different types of Vitamin B12 shots:
Cyanocobamin | Methylcobolamin | Hydroxycobolamin
Vitamin B12 shots are a powerful and efficient method of providing the body with essential vitamin B12. There are three main types of B12 used in these injections: Cyanocobalamin, Methylcobalamin, and Hydroxocobalamin.
Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of vitamin B12 that is commonly used in supplements and B12 shots. It’s stable and easily converted into the active forms of vitamin B12 in the body.
Methylcobalamin is a naturally occurring form of vitamin B12 that can be directly utilized by the body. It plays a crucial role in brain function and the production of DNA and red blood cells.
Hydroxocobalamin is another natural form of vitamin B12 that is often used in B12 shots. It has a higher retention rate, which means it remains in the body for a longer period.
B12 shots can help to quickly increase vitamin B12 levels in the body, alleviating symptoms of deficiency such as fatigue, weakness, mood changes, and cognitive difficulties. They are particularly beneficial for those who have trouble absorbing vitamin B12 from their diet.
However, it’s important to note that B12 shots should be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Always consult with your doctor or a qualified health practitioner before starting any new health treatment.
