## Why B12 Matters

Vitamin B12 is essential for:

- Energy production
- Healthy red blood cells
- Nervous system function

Your body can't make B12. You get it from food (mostly animal products) or supplements.

## Signs You May Be Low in B12

- Fatigue and low energy
- Brain fog or trouble concentrating
- Weakness
- Pale skin
- Tingling in hands or feet

If you have these symptoms, talk with your doctor. They can check your levels.

## Who's More Likely to Be Low?

- Adults over 50
- Vegans and vegetarians
- People with certain digestive conditions
- People taking medications like metformin or acid reducers

## Common B12 Shot Schedules

_Examples only. Your plan should be personalized._

| **Situation** | **Common approach** |
| --- | --- |
| Wellness and energy support | Weekly or every few weeks |
| Busy or demanding seasons | More regular shots for a period |
| Diagnosed deficiency | Follow your doctor's plan |
| Maintenance | Less frequent, based on how you feel |

## Signs Your Schedule Is Working

- Steadier energy
- Clearer focus
- Feeling more like yourself

If you feel the effects wear off quickly, mention it to our team.

## Make It a Habit

B12 shots take about 5 minutes, so they're easy to pair with other services:

- After a cryotherapy (https://icryo-newbraunfels-tx.com/services/cryotherapy) session
- With an IV drip (https://icryo-newbraunfels-tx.com/services/iv-infusion)
- Before a red light therapy (https://icryo-newbraunfels-tx.com/services/red-light-therapy) session
