Vitamin B12 Injections Course

WHAT IS VITAMIN B12?

Vitamin B12 is a man-made form of vitamin B12 known as Cyanocobalamin. Your body uses vitamin B-12 to make red blood cells, nerves, DNA and protein. B12 also helps metabolise fat and carbohydrates. Our body is unable to generate B12, but the vitamin is available from sources such as dairy, meat and fish. On our course you will learn both theory and practical aspects of B12 injections.
