The Mayo Clinic adds that some people experience side effects with a vitamin injection (9)
A B12 shot is an intramuscular injection of vitamin B12 , a crucial nutrient that helps with: Red blood cell production Nervous system function DNA synthesis Metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins Vitamin B12 is found in animal-based foods, so deficiencies are especially common in vegetarians, vegans, and individuals with absorption issues
So the goal of the B12 component is correction and prevention: keeping levels from dropping during treatment, which can in turn help offset the fatigue, brain fog, and irritability that may otherwise show up around weeks 4 to 8 of GLP-1 treatment
This ensures you get the best benefits
The instructional video is very simple and clear, but also thorough
However, please note that insurance usually does not cover Vitamin B12 injections if they are requested solely for general wellness, increased energy, or non-medical purposes
