Vitamin B12 Injections
Energy support. Nervous system nourishment. Metabolism-friendly.
Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in energy production, mood balance, red blood cell formation, and healthy nerve function. While many people obtain B12 through food, absorption can vary based on diet, digestion, and individual physiology. B12 injections offer a direct, efficient way to support optimal levels. At Marithyme Naturopathic Clinic, B12 injections are administered by trained naturopathic doctors who assess whether this option is appropriate for you during an initial consultation.

- Prefer rapid absorption and utilization
- Follow a plant-based or low-animal-protein diet
- Have higher nutritional demands
- Have difficulty absorbing B12 through digestion

Is Testing Required?
Testing is not always necessary, but your naturopathic doctor may recommend a B12, methylmalonic acid (MMA), or homocysteine test if more detailed assessment is beneficial.

- B12 injections are appropriate and safe
