Water Soluble Vitamin B12

• plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, cell metabolism, nerve function and the production of DNA. This IV therapy is available at Osmosis Lounge, helping you restore energy and improve overall well-being. Can support:
  1. Physical symptoms of weakness and/or fatigue
  2. Neurological symptoms of numbness or tingling in hands and feet, vision problems, and/or brain fog
  3. Mood disturbances including anxiety and/or depression

• Vitamin B12 serves as a cofactor for methionine synthase and L-methylmalonyl-CoA enzymes. These enzymes are essential for synthesis of purine and pyrimidines that form our DNA, and is also essential for conversion of L-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, which is required for fat and protein metabolism. Succinyl-CoA is also necessary for the synthesis of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in our red blood cells to our bodies’ tissues.
• In tissues, vitamin B12 is required for synthesis of methionine from homocysteine; without sufficient B12, homocysteine levels rise and are hypothesized to be a significant risk factor for cardiac disease and kidney disease.
• B12 is particularly important for normal functioning of the nervous system via synthesis of myelin, which are the protective sheaths around our nerve fibers that help speed and conduct nerve impulses.
• B12 elevates mood by playing a vital role in synthesis and metabolism of serotonin, a neurotransmitter responsible for regulating mood, and is the same neurotransmitter affected by anti-depressant medications. 
• Aids in energy production at the cellular level by converting dietary energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is the basic form of energy our cells use in a series of complex chemical reactions.

• 100-1000mcg every 1-3 months
