Dr. Ramona does these often in her practice and only uses the highest quality of B12 and other vitamins.
Certain populations have a higher need for B12 such as Diabetics, vegetarians and vegans, patients with Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s disease, and the elderly because they lose their ability to produce intrinsic factor in their stomach lining, which decreases the amount of vitamin B12 they can absorb through their diet. Certain medications will also require the patient to supplement with vitamin B12 and folic acid.
B12 deficiency can be diagnosed via blood work and is prescribed and injected by Dr. Ramona based on individual need and lab testing, which can be determined in your visits with her.
