Should I Take a Multivitamin or Vitamin B12 Supplement? Short Answer: Yes!
Is there anything more important than taking care of ourselves on a daily basis? After all, we only get one body to care for. Shouldn’t we do our absolute best to ensure that it doesn’t break down over time? Or at least ensure that it doesn’t break down as quickly as it could. Let’s be honest, some of us take better care of our cars than we do our bodies. It’s no wonder we don’t have any energy!
The truth is, we all know we should be taking much better care of ourselves than we currently are. The reality though is that many of us fail to get the nutrients our bodies need from the foods we consume daily and from our daily activities.

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin): Are You Getting Enough?
One of the most common complaints we hear from our clients is that they don’t have enough energy throughout the day. Fortunately, there is a simple solution for that one. One of the simplest solutions to low energy is making sure our bodies are getting enough Vitamin B12.
Commonly referred to as Vitamin B12, Cyanocobalamin is a form of Vitamin B12 that aids in the treatment of low energy levels, chronic fatigue syndrome, lack of concentration, and insomnia. Today, Cyanocobalamin is the most widely used form of Vitamin B12 in supplements and prescription drugs.
Other known uses of cyanocobalamin include improving poor immunity, digestive problems, muscle weakness, and premature aging. Some promising studies have also suggested that Vitamin B12 may help treat Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
Moreover, Vitamin B12 has been used to help treat brain and nervous disorders, muscular dystrophy, neurological aging, fatigue, increased nervous irritability, impairment in memory, inability to concentrate, mental depression, insomnia, and lack of balance.
In addition to these benefits, Vitamin B12 may be beneficial for the following ailments as well: asthma, angina, anemia, arteriosclerosis, allergens, arthritis, bursitis, diabetes, gastritis, hypoglycemia, hepatitis, insomnia, osteoporosis, obesity, shingles and ulcers.
Vitamin B12 is involved in protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Some of the many benefits of this essential vitamin include promoting normal metabolism of nerve tissue and normal growth development.
So how can you be sure that you’re getting enough Vitamin B12 from your diet? That’s easy! Natural sources of Vitamin B12 include beef and beef liver, dairy products, eggs, and fish. If your diet is lacking in these foods, such as is often the case for vegans and vegetarians, it’s possible you may have a Vitamin B12 deficiency.
So what’s the best way to fix a Vitamin B12 deficiency? You guessed it: A Vitamin B12 supplement. For our patients’ convenience, we offer a Vitamin B12 supplement, and it comes it two forms: injection and pills.
