Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) helps the body utilize fats and carbohydrates for energy and make new proteins. Vitamin B12 is important in the maintenance of our metabolism, blood cells, and nerve function. Most people get enough vitamin B12 in their diet, but some need supplementation. Low levels of vitamin B12 can lead to fatigue and anemia in mild cases. It may also help your body produce energy by converting carbohydrates into glucose.
Weekly injections are $10 each or 4 for $32.
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D is crucial to building and maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Calcium, the primary component of bone, is only properly absorbed by your body when vitamin D is present. Vitamin D is created within the body when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin. Unfortunately, most people do not get the necessary amount of vitamin D. Therefore, supplementation is needed. Vitamin D3 is the perfect supplement as it is the natural form of vitamin D that your body makes from sunlight. Receiving vitamin D3 injections can treat and prevent the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency, including fatigue and bone pain.
Vitamin D3 50,000 IU/ml injection are given monthly and are $25 each.
