Methylcobalamin, Cyanocobalamin
Vitamin B12 is a vital, water-soluble nutrient that plays a central role in energy production, red blood cell formation, nervous system function, and DNA synthesis. Whether you’re feeling fatigued, managing a deficiency, or optimizing your wellness, B12 supplementation—especially via injection—can help restore your vitality from the inside out.
Offered as part of DrWell’s clinical protocols, B12 injections provide rapid and effective replenishment, especially in individuals with absorption issues or increased metabolic demands.
Vitamin B12 (also called cobalamin) is required for:
Converting food into cellular energy
Maintaining healthy nerve cells and brain function
Supporting red blood cell and DNA production
Assisting in mood regulation and cognitive clarity
While B12 is found in meat, dairy, and eggs, many people are deficient due to age, diet (especially plant-based diets), GI disorders, or medication use (e.g., metformin or PPIs).
Boosts Natural Energy
Helps combat fatigue and brain fog by improving energy metabolism.
Supports Nervous System Health
Maintains nerve signaling, mood balance, and cognitive performance.
Improves Red Blood Cell Production
Essential for preventing anemia and promoting oxygen delivery throughout the body.
Enhances Metabolic Function
Supports fat and carbohydrate metabolism—making it useful in medical weight loss programs.
Fast Absorption with Injections
Bypasses the digestive system for rapid, efficient uptake—especially useful in patients with poor absorption.
Methylcobalamin (Active Form):
Preferred for neurological support and bioavailability. Often used in injections.
Cyanocobalamin (Synthetic Form):
Stable and effective for general B12 replenishment. Common in oral and injectable formulations.
Your provider will recommend the most appropriate form and dosing based on your needs, symptoms, and lab results.
Generally Safe and Well Tolerated
Vitamin B12 is water-soluble, and excess amounts are typically excreted in urine.
Potential Side Effects (Rare)
Mild injection site discomfort, headache, or dizziness. Allergic reactions are very rare but possible.
Monitor Levels with Lab Testing
Especially if you’re vegetarian, vegan, taking certain medications, or have chronic digestive conditions.
Use Under Medical Guidance
B12 is safe, but proper dosing and monitoring are key to ensuring effectiveness and avoiding over-supplementation.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
B12 is generally considered safe and essential during pregnancy. Dosing should be discussed with your provider.
