Vitamin B12 Injections are also called Cobalamine and one of the eight water-soluble B vitamins. B12 helps the body in converting carbohydrates into glucose or sugar, which is burned in order to produce energy for the functioning of the body. It is essential also for the breakdown of fats and proteins. B12 is considered an anti-stress vitamin since it is believed to enhance the healthy functioning of the immune system and improves the body's ability to fight stressful conditions. It improve energy levels by allowing the body to burn calories while supporting thyroid functions and boosts the right cardiac output by reducing water retention (Diuretic Attributes).
By speeding up your metabolism, vitamin B12 provides you with an unlimited supply of energy. The more calories burnt, the less storage of fat which ultimately results in weight loss. Many patients comment that it helps you exercise for a long time, on a regular basis, without getting tired! NOTE: Individual Results May Vary Vitamin B complex includes eight B vitamins and all essential water-soluble vitamins barring vitamin C. The B vitamins include thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), panthothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folic acid or folates (B9), and cobalamins (B12). Each of them plays a vital role in the functioning of our body and provides several health benefits. However, excess consumption of Vitamin B complex is unsafe and could cause side effects as well. On the other hand, B complex deficiencies could also lead to several problems. It is thus best to consult a doctor before taking any B complex supplements so that he/she can recommend an appropriate dosage for you, depending on your need.
The recommended daily dosage according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for each component is as follows. Various factors like drinking alcohol, smoking, or constant health problems could require a larger dose, which it is best decided after consultation with your doctor. Vitamin B complex injections are also available in the market, and people claim that it is more effective than the oral supplements. Generally, people who are trying to lose weight opt for B12 injections. The injection can be given either intravenously or intramuscularly. While injections cost much more than the supplements, your doctor may prescribe a shot of vitamin B complex to help boost your energy or vitality. Dosage varies from person to person, depending on various factors. Injections are better because the vitamins are absorbed into the body quicker than supplements, and they are usually given to people who require higher levels of energy to perform various activities. B complex injections can be used to treat B complex deficiencies like anemia, dermatitis, difficulty in assimilation, increased fatigue, psoriasis, neuritis, and stomatitis, to name a few.
However, if used for long periods (or taken in improper/high dosages), there could also be side effects such as dehydration, depression, edema, joint pain, low calcium, ulcers, and reduced protein metabolism. B complex deficiency can manifest as various diseases like anemia, beriberi, dermatitis, encephalitis and pellagra, and disease has its own set of symptoms. There are various benefits that one gets from taking Vitamin B complex. Some of the benefits are listed below. Increased energy as the B1 helps convert the carbohydrates from your food into glucose. Vitamins B2, B3, B5 and B7 are necessary for optimum energy levels. Lack of these vitamins will cause you to feel lethargic and exhausted. Make sure you consult your doctor before starting to take B complex vitamins as they will prescribe you the correct dosage according to your requirements. Overdose or prolonged usage could result in side effects, as listed below.B vitamins comprise a group of chemically distinct vitamins that play important roles in the health of the body, especially in the processes of cell growth and reproduction.
Once thought to be a single vitamin, we now recognize eight different B vitamins, including vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folic acid), and B12 (various cobalamins). Supplements that contain a mixture of all of these are generally referred to as a vitamin B complex. A growing body of research has examined the role of different B vitamins in arthritis and other health conditions. Whole grains, such as rye, barley, and wheat, fish (salmon and tuna), chicken and pork, bananas provide dietary sources of B vitamins, including vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), and vitamin B12 (cobalamin). Dietary sources for vitamin B9 (folic acid) include leafy vegetables (spinach, broccoli, lettuce), okra, asparagus, cereals, fruits (lemons, melons, bananas), organ meat, legumes, yeast, mushrooms, and orange and tomato juice.1 As with all supplements, whether vitamins, minerals, herbal or chemical products, consult with your doctor before you start taking B vitamins.
There may be health risks associated with use of these vitamins, including interactions with medications that you are taking and negative effects associated with health conditions you may have. Your doctor is also in the best position to determine the proper and safe dosage for any supplement. There is some evidence that B vitamins may provide benefits in people with RA. For instance, vitamin B6 has been shown to reduce levels of inflammatory markers, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), in patients with RA.2 There is also some limited evidence that vitamin B6 may be useful in relieving stiffness and pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, a common comorbidity with RA. Some studies suggest that patients with carpal tunnel syndrome may be deficient in vitamin B6.3 However, findings from a recent systematic review failed to confirm this theory and concluded that more study is necessary.4
Vitamin B12 supplementation has been shown to improve elbow joint pain. This evidence came from a single randomized, controlled trial in which patients received vitamin B12 injection directly into the joint along with acupuncture or vitamin B12 injection alone. Results showed that vitamin B12 resulted in some relief of pain, with no additional pain relief provided by acupuncture.5 In addition to its potential benefits in RA, B complex vitamins, including B6, B9 (folic acid), and B12, taken together can lower homocysteine, an amino acid which is linked to increased cardiovascular risk. Elevated homocysteine blood levels have been associated with abnormalities in blood clotting, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction (heart attack), and ischemic stroke. The exact relationship between homocysteine levels and risk for death or disability from cardiovascular causes is still not clear. Nor do we know whether vitamin B supplementation (particularly vitamin B12 and folic acid) can protect against this increased risk.
However, because individuals with RA face increased risk for cardiovascular disease, getting adequate amounts of B complex vitamins (which lower homocysteine) does appear to be important.5,6 If you take a B complex vitamin supplement, a recommended daily dose for reducing homocysteine levels includes 10 mg of B6, 1 mg of folic acid, and 0.4 mg of B12.7 In addition to the potential benefits of B vitamins for cardiovascular health, vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation also appears to contribute to bone health and decrease risk of fracture. In one study, B vitamin supplementation lowered the incidence of fracture by 75%. This is important because individuals with RA (both men and women, but particularly women around and after the age of menopause) face increased risk for bone loss and fracture.5 Folic acid supplementation is recognized as a useful measure to counteract toxicity associated with the disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) methotrexate, which is commonly used in the treatment of RA and other autoimmune diseases.
