A Vitamin B12 shot is a medical-grade intramuscular injection of cholecalciferol-quality, pure cobalamin (the active form of B12)

After initial repletion, a maintenance dose is given, often 1,000 mcg intramuscularly every month or every 2 to 3 months, to prevent recurrence of deficiency
Individuals with certain health conditions, such as Lebers disease (a rare inherited eye disease), should avoid B12 supplements as it can worsen the condition
Hydroxocobalamin: Often used in injectable B12 formulations, hydroxocobalamin has a longer duration of action than cyanocobalamin
Each injection provides essential nutrients that assist in improving overall wellness under professional supervision
