💉 Neils Pharmacy Vitamin B12 Wellness Service

Private, Prescriber-Led Vitamin B12 Service

👩‍⚕️ All consultations and treatments are carried out by a qualified pharmacist prescriber.

What is Vitamin B12?

💊 Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in energy production, red blood cell formation, and nervous system function.

⚠️ Low levels of vitamin B12 can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, low mood, and difficulty concentrating.

📌 In the UK, vitamin B12 deficiency is commonly treated with hydroxocobalamin injections. 

Vitamin B12 Injections

💉 A vitamin B12 injection is an intramuscular injection that delivers the vitamin directly into the body.

⚡ This allows for rapid absorption and does not rely on the digestive system, making it particularly useful for those with absorption difficulties. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

📌 Injections are widely used to treat or prevent vitamin B12 deficiency and support normal body function.
