B12
From £65
Vitamin B12, is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential in red blood cell formation, cellular metabolism, nerve function and production of DNA. It also helps in the conversion of protein and fat into energy.
B12 is an essential vitamin that you can become deficient in, particularly if you follow a restricted or special diet (such as vegetarian or vegan), if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, older adults, those who have had gastrointestinal surgery or suffer from gastrointestinal illnesses, and people with an autoimmune condition known as pernicious anaemia.
B12 deficiency can result in you being more susceptible to infections and feeling run down, suffer from aches and pains and general low mood.
Our team of clinicians can assess you for deficiency with a blood test and can administer a powerful dose if it is required. Supplementation is available as a one off dose without a bloods test, if safe and appropriate. Ongoing supplementation requires blood tests to monitor the need for ongoing supplementation.
