Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)

£49

About this Drip

This intramuscular shot delivers a high-strength 5mg dose of Methylcobalamin, the most bio-active form of Vitamin B12. Unlike standard B12 (Cyanocobalamin) which is synthetic and requires the body to convert it, Methylcobalamin is "nature-identical" and pre-methylated. This means it is immediately ready for the body to use for energy production, DNA repair, and—crucially—neurological function. It is the ideal choice for:

Vegans & Vegetarians: Who are at the highest risk of deficiency.
Nerve Pain Sufferers: People dealing with tingling, numbness, or neuropathy.

Key Benefits

For Brain & Nerves

The "Neuro" Vitamin: Methylcobalamin is the only form of B12 that can cross the blood-brain barrier. It is essential for protecting nerve cells and regenerating the myelin sheath (the protective coating on nerves).
Brain Fog: Low B12 is a leading cause of cognitive fatigue. Restoring levels can sharpen memory and focus.
Sleep Regulation: Methylcobalamin helps normalize circadian rhythms and improve the quality of sleep.

For Energy & Blood

Red Blood Cells: B12 is non-negotiable for the production of healthy red blood cells. A deficiency leads to large, inefficient cells (megaloblastic anemia) and severe fatigue.

How it works (The Science)

Standard oral B12 has extremely low absorption. IM Administration: By injecting 5mg of active Methylcobalamin directly into the muscle, we ensure tissue saturation. This provides the body with the specific amount it needs for detoxification and DNA repair, instantly bypassing any gut or genetic absorption blocks.

The Experience: What to expect

At Epicare, we blend medical expertise with a relaxing environment to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as it is effective.

Consultation: Your appointment begins with a brief health check with our clinician to review your medical history and ensure the specific nutrient shot is suited to your needs.
Preparation: You will be seated or asked to lie down comfortably. The clinician will select the best site for the injection—typically the upper arm (deltoid) or the upper buttock (glute)—and cleanse the area with alcohol.
The Injection: This is a quick intramuscular (IM) procedure. The clinician will gently insert a sterile needle into the muscle and administer the nutrients.
Aftercare: Once finished, the needle is removed, and a small plaster is applied. You can resume normal activities immediately. We advise staying well-hydrated for the rest of the day to help your body circulate the nutrients.

Pre-Treatment Blood Tests: We recommend that patients complete the following blood tests before treatment: Full Blood Count, ESR, Liver Function, Kidney Function, and G6PD enzyme. Our Epicare Basic Screen offers the best-value way to complete most of these. The ESR and G6PD enzyme tests can be added separately if required.
