Vitamin B12 is vital for health, required for proper red blood cell (RBC) formation + provides the body with energy. It’s involved in approximately 100 vital bodily functions including DNA synthesis, protein conversion, neurological function + fatty acid production. Because it’s so important for health, it’s the foundation of all our formulas. Benefits include improved energy, better sleep, elevated mood (it raises serotonin), increased focus, hormone regulation, hair growth + so much more!

Many people have trouble with nutrient absorption—from supplements or food—due to the presence of intestinal inflammation, poor gut health, or a deficiency of intrinsic factors—glycoprotein produced in the stomach that’s essential for B12 absorption. Injecting nutrients intramuscularly sidesteps this issue by delivering nutrients directly to the cells, feeding your body instantaneously for immediate utilization.

The effects of our shots vary between individuals. Most people feel the effects for about one week. The nutrients we provide are water-soluble; the only water-soluble nutrient that has the capability of being stored in the body is vitamin B12, so whatever your body doesn’t readily utilise it will store for later use. If your body stores are full, the B12 your body doesn’t need will be excreted in the urine, which may appear to be pink-ish.

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different; however, discomfort or pain is more common when you are dehydrated, tense, or you’ve just worked out the muscle we’ve just injected … or (C) … all of the above! The key is to relax, be well-nourished + hydrated! Being well-hydrated also decreases risk of bruising from an injection.

A shot typically causes little to no pain. You will be instructed on how to stand + breathe for relaxation + the most comfortable experience.

Yes! Our B12 is derived from natural cultures that are not animal sourced.

B12 deficiency isn’t just a problem for vegans; many people develop a B12 deficiency regardless of their diet—it has more to do with lack of absorption rather than lack of intake. The Framingham Offspring study found that 39% of the general population may be in the low normal + deficient B12 blood level range. There was no significant difference between those who ate meat + those who did not. New research shows that eating animal products causes animal sugars, such as Neu5Gc, to become attached to cells that line our hollow organs, like the stomach, causing the body to make antibodies against these sugars resulting in chronic inflammation and, therefore, impaired B12 absorption. Everyone needs vitamin B12 + the best way to supplement B12 is by intramuscular (IM) injection.
