Vitamin B12

“NDs do that?”

Low energy? Trouble concentrating? When was the last time you had your vitamin B12 levels checked? This is one of the most common deficiencies I pick up on lab work, and one of the easiest to treat. I like to administer vitamin B12 shots to get levels back up quickly, but sometimes supplements are a better fit.

Vitamin B12 is found in animal products and requires good digestion in order to be absorbed. Your risk for deficiency increases as you age, if you’re on a vegetarian diet, if you’re had weight-loss surgery, or if you’re taking acid blocking medications. If you’re not sure about your levels, book a complementary 15-min Meet & Greet and we’ll get you started in the right direction!
