Vitamin B12 Injections in Longfield, Dartford & Gravesend

Boost Your Energy and Well-Being with a Vitamin B12 Injection

Do you often feel tired, lack motivation, or struggle to focus? Are you experiencing low mood, difficulty sleeping, or frequent infections? You may have a Vitamin B12 deficiency.

What is Vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential micronutrient that plays a crucial role in several bodily functions. Since the human body cannot produce Vitamin B12 on its own, it must be obtained from food or supplements.

Why is Vitamin B12 Important?

DNA Production – Essential for healthy cell growth and repair
Brain and Nerve Function – Supports the nervous system and cognitive function
Red Blood Cell Formation Prevents anaemia and improves oxygen circulation

Signs and Symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiency

A lack of Vitamin B12 can lead to various symptoms, including:

Physical Symptoms

Persistent fatigue and low energy levels
Weakness or dizziness
Shortness of breath
Pale or yellow skin

Neurological Symptoms

Poor memory and reduced concentration
Pins and needles or numbness in hands and feet
Low mood and irritability

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, a Vitamin B12 injection may help restore your levels and improve your overall health.

What Causes Vitamin B12 Deficiency?

Vitamin B12 is naturally found in foods such as meat, poultry, eggs, fish, and dairy products. Some people may struggle to absorb enough B12 due to:

Common Causes of Vitamin B12 Deficiency

Dietary Factors – A vegetarian or vegan diet may lead to a deficiency
Medical Conditions – Digestive disorders such as coeliac disease or Crohn’s disease can impair B12 absorption
Medications – Certain medications can interfere with Vitamin B12 levels
Ageing – Older adults may have difficulty absorbing B12 due to stomach acid decline
Pernicious Anaemia – A condition that prevents the body from absorbing Vitamin B12 properly
