Vitamin B12 is naturally found in animal food sources. It is shown that vegetarians or vegan diets should include supplemented vitamin B12 in their diet. Some people can be Vitamin B12 deficient due to Pernicious anemia (an auto-immune disease that destroys gut cells which is crucial for B12 absorption). People who regularly take antacids have a difficult time absorbing vitamin B12 from food. Antacids such as Prilosec, Pepcid, Protonix, and more, slow the release or decrease production of stomach acid. In theory, this can prevent B12 from being released into its free usable form for absorption.
So why an injection? Vitamins and minerals given by injection or IV infusion result in almost 100% absorption due to bypassing the digestive tract and move right into the blood stream.

Vitamin B12 is typically derived from cobalamin or Methylcobalamin. Methylcobalamin is a natural occurring form of B12 as where cobalamin is a synthetic that needs to convert into Methylcobalamin. HWC offers Methlycobalamin (non-synthetic so your body doesn’t have to work to convert it into the usable form).
