The human body needs B12 for the overall health of nerve and red blood cells, and it aids with digestion. Since the body does not manufacture B12, the only way to ensure the presence of B12 is through one's diet and/or supplements. When dieting, B12 deficiency can occur due to the limited consumption of foods that are high in B12 such as red meat.

Physical Signs of Serious Deficiency

One indication that there may not be enough B12 present in the body is if one begins to feel fatigue and dizziness, especially when dieting. An individual may also experience diarrhoea or constipation, and become disoriented or confused when lacking B12. In some extreme cases, there has been evidence of tingling sensations and even chest pains in those lacking in B12.

Benefits When Dieting

Taking  injections of B12 can give a boost to the body by providing the energy that is normally supplied through proper eating. From a dieting standpoint, it can also help to reduce the craving for food. In older people, it can help to alleviate vitamin deficiency that can result from a lack of variety in diet, and can also help maintain energy levels and maintain memory functions.

Patients on B12 report more energy and less stress. Since B12 helps with energy levels, patients are more motivated to continue with their diets and to exercise than those who are not receiving B12 injections.

Each injection is only £35.00 and can be repeated every 3 months.
