What will a B12 shot help?

Answer by  hippychick (18)

Some people are unable to absorb B12 efficiently from food, and therefore need shots to help them maintain required levels. Without the shots, B12 deficiency can cause anemia (enlarged blood cells which cannot function properly) and damage to the nerves which could be very severe and disabling.

B12 shots help with a number of things such as energy, mood and overall health. I take them myself in a lingual form (which is drops under the tongue).

B12 shots can be important if you are a vegetarian are producing enough enough on your own. Some people are just naturally deficient in this vitamin. It is also supposed to help with energy and some people will take B12 in hopes that it will keep biting insects from bothering them with mixed results.
