Vitamin B12 Injections

Vitamin D – 200,000iu

Dosage – every 6 months, or every 3-4 months if a deficiency is found.

Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body. These nutrients are needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy. It is important to check your Vitamin D levels with your health care provider before having this as if more vitamin D is administered than is needed it can lead to toxic levels of vitamin D in the body, which can be detrimental to health.

Vitamin D is fat soluble, meaning it is stored in the body’s tissues and fat cells where it remains inactive and dispersed over time, when needed. Vitamin D can be stored in the body for a long time.

The body absorbs 100% of the vitamin D through injections.

Important Information:

If you are already taking vitamin D supplements, you will need to stop taking the supplement for 4 weeks before receiving a vitamin D injection.

This allows the body to use up any stored vitamin D and the injection can then be administered.

Biotin – Biotin Bayer 0.5% Vitamin H

Dosage – 1 per month

This biotin product is a water-soluble, B-Complex vitamin.

Biotin supports the metabolic processes by turning food into fuel. Biotin helps to improve bloodsugar control. Biotin boosts enzyme production, which is essential for carbohydrate and fat metabolism and helps to regulate gene expression.

Vitamin B7 also contributes to stronger hair, skin and nails. Biotin can also help with certain types of hair loss as it helps to strengthen hair follicles and stimulate hair growth.

Biotin injections also support healthy cell growth and the reaction of amino acids. Amino acids play vital roles in building up proteins (cell strength) resulting in the repairing of hair, skin and nail health.

Vitamin B12 – 2000mcg

Dosage – 1 per month

Methylcobalamin is the most bio-available type of Vitamin B12 which means the body absorbs it more easily. Naturally occurring, it is found in animal-based foods such as meat, sh, milk and eggs so is readily available in many people’s daily diet.

It remains in the body for a longer period of time and at higher levels than Cyanocobalamin, which means that the body is supplied with vitamin B12 for longer if you use Methylcobalamin.

Methylcobalamin is the most active form of Vitamin B12. It is a methyl-compound that the human body requires to function properly and is used mainly in the liver, brain and nervous system. Studies show Methylcobalamin is the specic form of B12 needed for nervous system health.

Vitamin B12 also helps boost energy levels and helps assist with weight loss.

Vitamin B12, supports red blood cell formation in the body.

Methylcobalamin also assists in the removal of free radicals produced from oxygen metabolism.

Vitamin B12 also aects the synthesis of fatty acids and the production of energy.

B12 is necessary for digestion, protein synthesis, absorption of foods and the metabolism of fat and carbohydrates.

Athletes and individuals who exercise daily may have low B12 levels, due to the increased metabolism. The metabolism is raised due to the demand for this vitamin. It can be used to repair damaged blood cells and injured muscle tissue, whilst carrying more oxygen around in the blood during exercise.

This type of Methylcobalamin is non synthetic, its undiluted and in its pure form.

Vitamin B Complex Ingredients:

B12 Methylcobalamin 1000mcg (1mg)
B1 Thiamine

Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1 is a water-soluble vitamin that is required for the proper metabolism of starch and sugar in order to provide energy to the body. Thiamine also plays an integral role in nerve function. B1 helps the heart and other muscles function properly. Thiamine plays an essential role in metabolism, by converting nutrients into energy.

B2 Riboavin

Riboavin is mainly involved in energy metabolism and helps the thyroid function properly. Vitamin B2 aids in weight loss by releasing the unused energy in the body and preventing unused energy from turning into fat. Vitamin B2 is crucial for the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Riboavin helps convert food into energy and acts as an antioxidant. Individuals who exercise daily lose B2 by using their supply of the vitamin.

B3 Niacin

Niacin supports healthy carbohydrate metabolism. The water-soluble vitamin Niacin is essential for the body to convert carbohydrates, fat and alcohol into energy. Vitamin B3 aids in the normal maintenance of thyroid hormone production. It helps maintain skin health and supports the normal function of the nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract. B3 is also a component of the glucose tolerance factor which is released every time your blood sugar rises (helps to regulate blood sugar levels). Niacin is not lost during the cooking process, unlike other B group vitamins. The severe lack of this vitamin can potentially contribute towards obesity.

B4 Choline Inositol

Vitamin B4, also known as Choline, is a member of the B-complex group and is an essential and vital nutrient for our health. Vitamin B4 is a water-soluble vitamin that aids in weight loss. This nutrient is a fat emulsier that works with the nutrient inositol. Choline and inositol use the cholesterol and fats in the body to prevent weight gain and promote weight loss. Without choline, the excess fats that are digested can get trapped in the liver and block fat metabolism which leads to weight gain.

B5 Pantothenic Acid

Vitamin B5 plays an important role in weight loss. Vitamin B5 is involved in energy production and helps to control fat metabolism. Pantothenic acid is needed to metabolize carbohydrates, proteins, fats and alcohol as well as produce red blood cells and steroid hormones. Vitamin B5 also aids in digestion and helps break down fat and carbohydrates, giving more energy and boosting the metabolism, which also helps in weight loss. Vitamin B5, like some of the other B vitamins helps the body to obtain energy from food and is also involved in hormone and cholesterol production.

B6 Pyridoxine

Pyridoxine the water-soluble vitamin plays an integral role in the metabolism of fats, particularly fatty acids which are unsaturated and help to supply fuel to cells, which are then able to burn energy. Vitamin B6 helps with the regulation and production of the thyroid. It is also required for protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Vitamin B6 helps the pancreas produce enzymes that aid indigestion. Proper digestion will make one feel full longer, resulting in weight loss.

B7 Biotin

Vitamin B7 is needed for energy metabolism, fat synthesis, amino acid metabolism and glycogen synthesis. Biotin helps to improve blood-sugar control. Individuals who exercise often have an increased need for biotin, this is due to the increase in metabolism. Which results in the loss of this vitamin in urine or sweat, which is needed for tissue repair and maintenance. Biotin is essential for carbohydrate and fat metabolism and helps to regulate gene expression. Vitamin B7 also contributes to stronger hair, skin and nails. Biotin can also help with certain types of hair loss as it helps to strengthen hair follicles and stimulate hair growth.
