B12 shot
Cobalamin booster dose
A B12 shot is an injection of vitamin B12, typically given to treat deficiency or boost energy levels.
Doctors prescribe them for patients who can't absorb the vitamin through digestion, but they're also popular as wellness treatments: I get a B12 shot every month.
The shot delivers the vitamin directly into muscle tissue for faster absorption than oral supplements.
