Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that supports the production of DNA, growth of red blood cells, and function of the nervous system. A B12 shot is a quick and easy way to increase your vitamin B12 levels if you are deficient. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to inject a B12 shot:
Before giving yourself a B12 shot, it is important to wash your hands and the injection site with soap and water. You should also make sure that the injection is at room temperature. To inject the B12, you will need a syringe, a needle, and a vial of B12. Draw the B12 into the syringe according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, insert the needle into the injection site at a 90-degree angle. Slowly inject the B12 into the muscle. Once you have injected all of the B12, remove the needle and apply pressure to the injection site with a cotton ball. You may experience some minor pain or bruising at the injection site, but this should go away within a few days.
