ABOUT
Vitamin B12 Shots
As an essential vitamin, B12 fuels several bodily functions, such as the formation and maturation of red blood cells, nerve cell maintenance, and DNA production. B12 appears naturally in many foods, such as meat, fish, and dairy products, but the body can’t produce it. As a result, you must consume it in food or supplements.
B12 deficiency occurs when vitamin B12 levels in the blood are too low. Those who lack B12 can experience health issues such as generalized weakness, numbness, leg stiffness, abnormal gait, memory loss, personality changes, and depressed mood. However, vitamin B12 injections can correct this condition and significantly improve symptoms.
The team of physicians at Fit MD can create a customized synthetic vitamin B12 injection regimen that restores your levels according to your needs. Enjoy benefits such as:
HOW DO
Vitamin B12 Injections Work?
Licensed medical professionals administer Vitamin B12 shots into your muscle. Doing so delivers the essential vitamin directly into the bloodstream, allowing your body to utilize it immediately. The typical injection frequency can be as often as feels beneficial, and can range from monthly to every seven days, followed by maintenance doses that occur based on your needs.
Vitamin B12 Shots vs. Pills
Vitamin B12 supplements are available in injection, pill, and capsule form. Individuals relying on pill or capsule supplements often don’t receive the vitamin’s full benefits because it must pass through the digestive system before entering the bloodstream. Therefore, those looking for complete results are more likely to achieve them through injections.
HOW LONG DOES A
Vitamin B12 Shot Last?
An injection’s length of effectiveness depends on certain factors, such as a person’s metabolism and how often they receive vitamin B12 supplements. Generally speaking, B12 shots’ effects can last about a week, but your Fit MD physician team will work with you to determine cadence and dosage.
Many individuals notice B12’s effects within two to three days of injection, thanks to its rapid absorption. After three months of continuous administration, recipients can experience the maximum benefits. It’s important to note that results vary depending on your needs.

MULTIVITAMINS &
Cognitive Function
Recent research reveals a groundbreaking discovery on the cognitive benefits of daily multivitamin supplements. The comprehensive COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS) trial, comprising three separate studies, confirms that a daily multivitamin intake can significantly slow down global cognitive aging by an estimated equivalent of two years compared to a placebo.
Published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the meta-analysis involved 5,000 participants, including a subset of 573 who underwent in-depth assessments over two years. The results provide compelling evidence that a daily multivitamin, containing over 20 essential micronutrients, has the potential to prevent memory loss and support healthier cognitive aging. This groundbreaking revelation offers a promising and accessible avenue for individuals concerned about preserving brain health as they age.
