To schedule a consultation with our very own Dr
A local clinic matters because B12 shots are often part of repeat care, follow-up questions, or scheduling around work rather than a one-time urgent event
However, a very small percentage of B12 from a supplemental dose is absorbed by passive diffusion, rather than by intrinsic factor, such that vegans can make up for taking B12 only once per day, or even only once per week, by taking larger doses than normally provided by food
Typically, a dose of 2-2.5 mg per week is recommended, which you can administer via intramuscular injection
For your comfort, wear loose, easily accessible clothing, and keep the treatment areas clean, free from lotions or oils
