How does Vitamin B12 IV drip work?
Vitamin B12 (or cobalamin) is one of the body's essential nutrients, and its deficiency leads to a number of neurological, psychological, cognitive, and metabolic problems.
People get vitamin B12 primarily from animal products, including eggs, meat, dairy products, and fish, so a balanced diet can easily achieve the needed levels of this nutrient. However, older adults and those who do not get adequate amounts of this nutrient (2.4 micrograms for adults) from food, such as vegans and vegetarians, are advised to take vitamin B12 supplements.
Those needing vitamin B12 supplements should consider vitamin B12 IV drips, which are designed to deliver optimal doses of vitamin B12 directly into the bloodstream, resulting in instant absorption and the fastest possible results.
Below, we take a closer look at the most important health benefits this procedure can offer.
Red blood cells transport oxygen to cells throughout the body, supporting their function and survival. Fewer or abnormal red blood cells lead to the development of anemia, a condition that causes symptoms such as chronic fatigue, headache, and dizziness.
Vitamin B12 plays a central role in red blood cell development. It ensures the DNA synthesis and adequate maturation of the red blood cells, ensuring their right size, shape, and functioning. Therefore, a deficiency of this nutrient affects the production of healthy red blood cells, leading to anemia and related health problems.
Unfortunately, vitamin B12 deficiency affects up to 6% of the US population under age 60 and 20% of people age 60 and older. Of those with vitamin B deficiency, 70-80% are diagnosed with anemia.
This IV therapy is the fastest way to replenish the vitamin B12 levels in your cells, addressing symptoms of B12 deficiency anemia and improving overall body function by supporting various cellular processes influenced by adequate B12 levels.
Low energy levels or unexplained fatigue are common problems that can be attributed to a wide range of factors, including but not limited to a stressful lifestyle, various chronic diseases, sleep problems, and inadequate intake of essential nutrients.
Vitamin B12 increases energy levels in two main ways. First, it helps to provide adequate oxygen supply to cells, ensuring cellular energy production and overall vitality. Secondly, vitamin B12 is involved in fat and protein metabolism, processes that are critical for converting food into usable energy.
So, vitamin B12 drip is a proven option for increasing energy levels, thereby enhancing productivity, concentration, and physical performance.
Depression is one of the most common mental health conditions, affecting millions of people of all ages, races, and genders around the world. As a primary mental disorder, it can also present with physical symptoms, including sleep problems, changes in appetite, weakness, and headache.
Research has found a link between low vitamin B12 levels and depression, and there are several mechanisms by which this vitamin may influence mental well-being:
- It is involved in the production of "feel-good" hormones such as serotonin and dopamine, which greatly influence mood.
- It improves brain health and protects its cells from damage, promoting overall mental and cognitive health.
- It improves metabolism and oxygen transport, providing our cells with the necessary energy and nutrients, thereby relieving the cognitive and physical symptoms associated with depression.
If you have low levels of vitamin B12 or suffer from depression of unknown cause, a Vitamin B12 IV procedure may be the treatment you need.
It is a well-known fact that maintaining optimal brain health is essential for normal cognitive function, memory, and overall mental and physical well-being. However, few people are aware of the role of vitamin B12 in supporting brain health and normal functioning.
Vitamin B12 promotes brain health through its role in the production of neurotransmitters (specific chemicals in our nervous system) and myelin, the protective membrane around nerves. These two ensure efficient communication between neurons. In addition, vitamin B12 affects homocysteine levels, which, at high levels, increases the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
Therefore, maintaining adequate levels of vitamin B12 in your body will greatly benefit your brain health and overall well-being. Vitamin B12 drips are the fastest and most effective way to do that.
The human immune system serves as the primary defense against harmful pathogens and threats, both internal and external. It includes physical barriers such as the skin and mucous membranes, as well as specialized organs, tissues, and cells that allow these agents to be detected and neutralized if they bypass the physical barriers. Having a strong immune system is a must for overall health and well-being.
Vitamin B12 plays a critical role in maintaining adequate immune function. It promotes the production of specific immune cells that fight viruses, as well as infected, damaged or cancerous cells. Vitamin B12 also has direct anti-inflammatory properties, which help regulate immune responses and prevent immune system dysfunction.
Our Vitamin B12 Drops are a quick and effective way to replenish Vitamin B12 levels in the body, boost immune function, and thereby prevent/relieve various infectious and non-infectious conditions.
Cardiovascular disease affects millions of people worldwide and causes approximately 20 million deaths each year. Various lifestyle choices decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, and sticking to a balanced, nutritious diet is one of them. Unfortunately, not all of us are able to obtain all the necessary vitamins and minerals from food alone.
Vitamin B12 is one of those nutrients that is essential for optimal heart health and overall wellness.Research shows that low levels of vitamin B12 are associated with cardiovascular disease. This may be explained by several mechanisms by which vitamin B12 indirectly affects heart health, such as reducing the risk of hypertension, lowering homocysteine levels, and regulating the nervous system. All of the above are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
So, in addition to various direct health benefits, our vitamin B12 IV drip helps to prevent the most common cause of death globally.
The nervous system is a sophisticated complex of nerves, brain, and spinal cord responsible for regulating all vital mental, physical, and cognitive functions of the body.
Vitamin B12 is one of the most important nutrients for the proper functioning of the nervous system. According to various studies, up to 85 percent of patients with vitamin B12 deficiency experience at least one neurological symptom. These symptoms most often include:
- Paresthesia: Numbness, itching, burning, or tingling in the limbs or other parts of the body
- Ataxia: impaired coordination, balance, and speech
- Myelopathy: pain in the neck or back and tingling, numbness, or weakness in the limbs
The occurrence of these conditions in people with vitamin B12 deficiency is due to the role of vitamin B12 in preventing nerve damage and ensuring efficient transmission of nerve impulses.
Our Vitamin B12 IV treatment will quickly replenish your body's Vitamin B12 levels and relieve associated neurological symptoms.
Ingredients of Vitamin B12 IV drip
Vitamin B12 IV drips contain a concentrated dose of vitamin B12 and IV fluid to ensure optimal absorption as well as proper hydration and electrolyte replenishment.
Below, we will discuss the most important benefits of each of these ingredients.
The IV fluid contained in this drip is normal saline (physiological saline), which is composed of water and electrolytes (sodium and chloride). It is best suited for intravenous procedures because the concentration of electrolytes and water is equal to that in serum plasma (0.9%).
Normal saline is mainly used to address dehydration and associated symptoms as well as regulate electrolyte balance. Thanks to these properties, saline provides the following benefits:
- Improves skin elasticity
- Relieves dehydration-associated fatigue, dizziness, and headache
- Improves digestion and prevents constipation
- Enhances kidney function
- Normalizes cognitive and physical performance
- Normalizes blood volume, thus blood pressure and circulation
Vitamin B12 is an essential, water-soluble nutrient required for physical and cognitive well-being. It is abundant in foods of animal origin, especially in beef liver, lams, oysters, fish and dairy products.
Vitamin B12 is often prescribed for treating various conditions, including Vitamin B12 anemia, ileal resection, pancreatic insufficiency, and cord myelopathy. Its role in the prevention and treatment of these conditions is explained with a wide range of benefits it provides, including:
- Participates in the formation of red blood cells, which are responsible for the delivery of oxygen to all cells and tissues of the body.
- Promotes the development and function of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system.
- Improves metabolism, thereby increasing energy, endurance and athletic performance.
- Regulates mood and relieves symptoms of depression, and anxiety.
- Normalizes sleep.
- Improves heart health and prevents cardiovascular diseases.
- Strengthens the immune system, thereby preventing various infectious and chronic diseases.

Vitamin B12 deficiency is a condition that occurs when there is no enough vitamin B12 in the body, either due to insufficient intake from food/supplements, or due to impaired absorption. This condition can lead to serious health problems, including anemia and nerve damage.
A mild vitamin B12 deficiency can go unnoticed. However, if left untreated, it can progress and cause:
- Chronic fatigue and overall weakness
- Dizziness
- Pale or yellowish skin tone
- Mental health problems such as depression, mood swings, irritability, and anxiety
- Loss of appetite, nausea, and diarrhea, leading to weigh loss
- Paresthesia: numbness, tingling or burning sensation in feet, legs, and hands
- Vision problems
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient, meaning everyone should get it either from food or supplements. However, vitamin B12 IV drips are primarily intended for those who need a quick replenishment of this vitamin or for those who cannot/don’t want to take oral supplements due to busy schedules, less effectiveness, or other reasons. So, in general vitamin B12 IV therapy would be the most beneficial for:
- People with vitamin B12 deficiency and related anemia.
- Those with sleep disorders and/or unexplained depression and anxiety.
- Professional athletes who need to improve their physical performance.
- Older people as they are more prone to vitamin B12 deficiency due to impaired absorption of this nutrient.
- People with gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn's disease and celiac disease.
- People who have had gastrointestinal surgery, such as having part or all of their stomach removed for weight loss.
- Vegans and vegetarians who do not get enough vitamin B12 from their diet.
- Those with a stressful lifestyle and/or profession.
The frequency of vitamin B12 IV treatment depends on individual factors and the severity of the deficiency. Our experienced doctors will tailor the procedure to your needs and determine the required frequency and duration of IV procedures.
Intravenous administration of vitamin B12 allows a much better absorption than injections. This IV drip delivers a concentrated dose of the vitamin directly into the bloodstream, while injections provide a slower release. Therefore, you will feel the beneficial effects of the procedure much faster.
Vitamin B12 IV therapy is very safe, however, as with any other medical procedure, individual intolerance and mild side effects may occur, including:
- Allergic reactions such as itching, rash, hives, and difficulty breathing.
- Injection site reactions such as local swelling, pain, and irritation.
- Gastrointestinal problems such as mild diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
In addition, vitamin B12 can potentially interact with some medications, including:
- Proton pump inhibitors(e.g., Prilosec and Prevacid)
- Histamine 2-receptor antagonists (e.g., Tagamet and Zantac)
- Metformin
In any case, before the procedure itself, you will need to fill out a special medical form indicating your medical condition and all medications that you are currently taking. Our healthproviders will carefully review this information and perform certain examinations, after which they will decide whether you are eligible for vitamin B12 IV treatment or not.
