Vitamin B-12 is necessary for the production of Red blood cells – deficiency leads to one form of anemia (Pernicious Anemia – the name alone sounds terrifying!).  Chronic deficiency of B-12 can further lead to changes in the Nervous System including damage to the posterior columns in the spinal cord, and peripheral nerve damage (neuropathy).  This can affect sensation in the legs (tingling, numbness or pain) and affect balance when walking.

Vitamin B-12 is readily available in a wide range of healthy foods.  The problem is not availability, but rather absorption.  As we age, one or more steps needed for absorption (stomach pH, release of Intrinsic Factor, reabsorption in the terminal ileum) may be impaired.  When that happens, even oral supplements of B-12 may not be enough to correct the deficiency.

The solution is Vitamin B-12 injections, that are FDA approved, safe, affordable and easily administered.  Another beauty of B-12 is that it is a non-toxic vitamin.  One might think that all vitamins are safe, at any dose – but the truth is much different.  Too much of some vitamins can cause harm.  That is not the case with Vitamin B-12 – you can not harm yourself with higher doses.

With the Hcg Diet, I have observed that many participants feel a surge of energy after a B-12 shot – energy that lasts for several days.  The dose is 1,000mcg (micrograms) given in a dose of 1mL (same as 1cc) into the muscle of the upper arm.

B-12 injection by RN weekly at med spa

All OWL Diet participants are now given the option of receiving a Vitamin B-12 injection of 1,000 mcg into their arm, given by one of my staff RN’s during your weekly med spa visits.  There is no additional charge for this service.

If you chose to use “Hcg Shots” – these are provided by Kubat Pharmacy in Omaha – and the latest enhancement to my OWL Diet program is the addition of B-12 to the vial of Hcg.  This way, you learn to self inject 0.5cc once daily, in the morning, into your thigh muscle.  That dose of 0.5cc contains 125iu of Hcg hormone, and 250mcg of Vitamin B-12.

The other option is to use Vitamin B-12 drops – 1,000mcg daily.

Vitamin B-12 should be stored at Room Temperature, and away from light.
