Vitamin B12 injections are liquid form vitamin B12 that is specifically manufactured for injection purposes. This type of liquid vitamin B12 is not meant to be taken orally. People get injections for a variety of health related reasons when doctors prescribe them or for general health performance and enhancement.

The reason many people inject vitamin B12 for general health maintenance is because vitamin B12 helps the body perform so many of its crucial functions.

Many people swear that it increases their energy and over-all health by bolstering their immune systems so they remain healthier.

B-12 injections are given directly into muscles, fat or veins. Shots into muscles are named intramuscular and shots into fat are named subcutaneous. Of course, intravenous is the name for injections into veins.

Vitamin B12 made for injections come in vials or ampoules. Common vial sizes are 10 and 30 milliliter and ampoules are usually 1-2 milliliter. B-Complex ampoules range in size up to 3ml, which is the size of our Trivit-B Complex ampoules.

Intramuscular injection has proven to be the most effective method for those with vitamin B12 deficiencies or choosing to boost their levels for other reasons, second only to intravenous which is most often administered under emergency situations.

Subcutaneous injections are also very effective, but just a bit slower entering the bloodstream than intravenous and intramuscular.

As with many things, the individual will sort out the most effective method for them.

 

 

 

 

"Where do you give Vitamin B12 shots?"

There are twIntramuscular injection siteso types: Subcutaneous injections and Intramuscular injections.

Subcutaneous injections go into your fat, often in the belly, thigh or upper arm. Subcutaneous injections are injected into the layers between the skin and muscles using a short 1/2” needle which makes it almost completely painless when properly done.

Intramuscular injections go directly into your muscles using a 1-1 ½” needle into muscles located at your shoulder, thighs, hips and buttocks.

These can be a little more painful than subcutaneous injections because the needle has to reach into muscle tissue; however the pain is usually completely gone within a couple of minutes. (Takes a little suffering sometimes to feel good or beautiful again).
