Vitamin B12 shots are a form of supplementation that contain a synthetic version of vitamin B12, known as cyanocobalamin. Unfortunately, many of us don’t consistently consume clean, organic, farm-to-table foods to meet our vitamin and mineral needs. Additionally, some individuals have difficulty properly absorbing B12. Therefore, regular B12 shots can be an effective way to invest in your health.
