How It Works

Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally found in animal products such as poultry, beef, fish, eggs, and dairy. After consumption, the body’s intestines produce a protein called intrinsic factor (IF) that binds with vitamin B12 to allow these nutrients to be properly absorbed into the bloodstream.

The ability to absorb vitamin B12 decreases with age, leading to deficiency symptoms such as mood swings, muscle weakness, memory problems, impaired red blood cell production, and more. Vitamin B12 deficiency is often found in people that have digestive disorders such as Crohn’s disease or celiac disease, or have had gastrointestinal surgery in the past. Additionally, vegans and vegetarians that lack vitamin B12-enriched food products in their diet may be at greater risk for these nutrient deficiencies.

We recommend that you consult with a qualified Jiva Med Spa medical professional before receiving any Vitamin B12 treatment sessions. Our Medical Director, Dr. Nanda, ensures that the patient’s individualized dosage is injected safely as well as administering topical anesthetic as needed. The supplemental vitamin B12 injection should take effect within 24 – 72 hours following treatment.
