What is Vitamin B12 drip?

Wellness Infusion

What does it do?

If you have been experiencing a lack of energy or just generally feeling run down, a Vitamin B12 drip could be exactly what you need. This IV vitamin drip injects vitamin B12 directly into your bloodstream for maximum absorption, so your body can utilise it more efficiently than pills or tablets.

The way we feel day-to-day is greatly impacted by Vitamin B12. It aids energy, red blood cell production, brain function, and even your mood. Some people find that a drip is the help they need to feel more centered, less tired and generally more physically balanced. Whether you are dealing with a deficiency or just need a boost, this treatment is a quick, efficient way to re-energize your body for your wellness journey.

Several benefits include:

  • Increased energy levels
  • Improved cognitive function and mental clarity
  • Stronger immune system
  • Reduced feelings of fatigue
  • Healthier skin and hair
  • Better sleep quality
  • Boost metabolism and digestive function

The procedure
A Safe Procedure
How does Vitamin B12 intravenous drips work?
  • It goes straight into your blood so your body does not have to digest it first.
  • It acts fast, and most people feel more energetic or clear headed within a few hours.
  • It supports your body in making red blood cells, keeps your nerves healthy and turns food into energy.
Quick And Simple Procedure
How long does the treatment take?

The Vitamin B drip should take 30 to 45 minutes to flush through. It is a quick and simple process that occurs in a relaxing seated position. Some individuals might be done sooner, also depending on the drip rate and the specific infusion.

Immediate Results
When will I notice the effects of a B12 drip?

You will start feeling re-energised, invigorated and overall fantastic soon after your session ends. As the nutrients go straight into your bloodstream, you may feel the rapid effects within a day.

Vitamin B12 Effects
How long do the benefits last?

The effects can last for a different duration for each user. If you are low on B12, your body might consume the nutrients more quickly. Generally speaking, benefits can last about a week from a B12 IV on average.

Frequency Of Treatment
How often should I have B12 IV therapy?

Frequency of treatment will be based on what is best to reach your overall health goals. If your deficiency is severe you may need more sessions to start with. We will design a custom plan for you. The first appointment can last 90 minutes, and follow-up appointments are usually 45 to 60 minutes and are commonly scheduled on a weekly basis for optimal results.

The essentials

Before your appointment:

  • Stop taking aspirin, anti-inflammatories, fish oil, garlic, flaxseed, ginseng, and high doses of Vitamin A and E for at least 3 days beforehand, which could increase your risk of bruising.
  • Eat a small meal or snack before your visit.
  • If you are afraid of needles, please tell us so we can help make you as comfortable as possible.

What to expect:

  • A sore arm at the injection site is normal and usually goes away in a few minutes.
  • B12 itself does not directly cause weight loss, but you may be more likely to increase your physical activity for weight loss if you have more energy during your workouts.
  • The best results are usually achieved upon routine application. Your clinician will recommend an appropriate plan based on your goals and health history.

  • If you are in pain, you can take paracetamol, or another over-the-counter painkiller.
  • Look out for signs of infection, including hot, red skin, pus, or feeling ill. Call your clinician if you notice any of those.
  • In a slight percentage of cases, a serious allergic reaction, get emergency treatment immediately.

Foods containing animal-based products (High sources of B12):

  • Liver (especially beef liver) – one of the richest sources
  • Beef (especially lean cuts)
  • Chicken and turkey
  • Pork
  • Lamb

Seafood:

  • Salmon
  • Tuna
  • Trout
  • Sardines
  • Clams and mussels (extremely high in B12)

  • Fortified breakfast cereals (check the label for B12)
  • Fortified plant milks (like almond, soy, oat, or rice milk)
  • Fortified nutritional yeast (a popular vegan supplement with a cheesy flavour)

Why have a Vitamin B12 drip?

Am I suitable?
Who is the ideal candidate?

You might feel less than your best if your vitamin B12 levels are low. These are the type of people who might see some benefit from a B12 drip:

  • Smokers or heavy drinkers: These habits lower the B12 level and how well your body can receive nutrients. A drip can help replace what is missing.
  • Vegans or vegetarians: B12 is primarily present in animal products. On a similar note, if you avoid meat or dairy, a B12 drip can help fill the gap.
  • Pregnant women: B12 is crucial for your baby’s growth and for maintaining your optimal health during pregnancy.
  • Those attempting to lose weight: B12 can convert fat to energy and aid in the metabolic process, making it easier to lose weight.

A simple blood test will measure your levels of B vitamins during your medical consultation. If you are low, a B12 drip can help restore energy, mood and overall health.

The risks?
Can a risk be prevented?

Vitamin B12 drips are generally safe, especially if administered by a properly trained medical professional. But as with any treatment, there are some risks you should know.

Some side effects are less common but may be serious Need to tell your doctor straight away:

  • Allergic reaction like: rash, itching, swelling (particularly in the face or throat), severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
  • Palms and soles of the feet or ankles appearing red and swelling
  • Breathing problems that have not been resolved.

Other mild side effects also may occur, though most go away on their own. If they continue or are bothersome, let your care team know:

  • Upset stomach or diarrhea
