The increase in oxygen availability subsequently increases our energy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Is the B12 Shot Effective?<\/h3>\n<p>B12 is not naturally produced in our bodies, and though it can be taken orally in capsular form, the most efficient method of absorption and subsequent use in our cells is to have it in shot form. Once B12 is in the bloodstream, its availability is much greater than if it were taken as a supplement that had to be digested and absorbed through the intestines.<\/p>\n<p>The B12 shot is effective because it allows that highly useful and essential vitamin to be directly available to the cells of the body via the bloodstream. Within the first few hours after a B12 shot, you will begin to feel your energy increase, with potentially greater mental focus and reduced stress.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK441923\/\">vitamin B12 deficiency<\/a> and how your body responds to B12, the added boost from the B12 shot may also help with:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf Mood<br \/>\n\u25cf The healthy growth of hair and nails<br \/>\n\u25cf Mental function and acuity<br \/>\n\u25cf The formation of red blood cells<br \/>\n\u25cf Anemia<br \/>\n\u25cf Prevention of macular degeneration<br \/>\n\u25cf Bone health and the prevention of osteoporosis<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-130 size-large alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allureesthetic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/iStock-1040307846-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"Energy Shot Seattle\" width=\"604\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.allureesthetic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/iStock-1040307846-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.allureesthetic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/iStock-1040307846-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.allureesthetic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/iStock-1040307846-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>How Much Does a B12 Shot Cost?<\/h3>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-42 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allureesthetic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sajan-slider.png\" alt=\"Dr. Sajan\" width=\"403\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.allureesthetic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sajan-slider.png 403w, https:\/\/www.allureesthetic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sajan-slider-211x300.png 211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>A B12 shot varies in cost depending on the region or provider, but generally is between $50 to $100 per shot.
