Fed Up of Feeling Tired All The Time? Vitamin B12 Could Be the Remedy
07/10/2025How many of us operate at a level of “general tiredness”: struggling with low energy, waking up exhausted, finding it hard to focus, becoming forgetful or short-tempered? We might blame it on life’s pressures, or the shortening autumn days. Habits like getting enough sleep, taking time for yourself, and eating a balanced, nutritious diet help maintain a healthy lifestyle, but can be hard when you’re constantly juggling, or battling tiredness. But one reason, with one simple remedy, could be a lack of vitamin B12.
What is Vitamin B12?
This essential vitamin plays a key role in keeping your body and mind healthy, supporting red blood cell production, energy metabolism, neurological and brain function. When levels drop, the effects can be life-limiting, including persistent tiredness and fatigue, muscle weakness, shortness of breath or dizziness, poor memory or difficulty concentrating, low mood or irritability.
Our bodies do not produce vitamin B12, getting it from foods like meat, fish, milk and eggs. Modern life can make it hard for anyone to get enough vitamin B12 from their diet, not just those on a plant-based diet. The ability to absorb through diet alone can also decline with age, post gastric surgery, or medical and digestive conditions like pernicious anaemia, Crohn’s or coeliac disease.
Vitamin B12 Injections- the “Wonder Nutrient”?
The most effective way to boost your body’s vitamin B12 levels, helping reverse symptoms like tiredness and “brain fog”, is via a simple vitamin B12 injection. Most people report noticeable improvements in energy and reduced fatigue within 24 to 72 hours (full resolution of symptoms may take several days to weeks, depending on the severity of the deficiency and existing medical conditions).
Unfortunately, vitamin B12 injections are no longer available on the NHS from your GP. While oral tablets and medicines are readily available, and can be suitable for general B12 maintenance, rather than recovery from deficiency or boost, vitamin B12 injections ensure delivery directly into your system for maximum absorption and much faster results than tablets or dietary supplements. That’s why our trained team at Brock Street Pharmacy offer a convenient and professional vitamin B12 injection service right here in Lancaster.
Could Vitamin B12 Injections Benefit Me?
If you’ve been nodding along to any of the symptoms listed above, then you could be one of the estimated 6 million people in the UK suffering from a vitamin B12 deficiency.
Why not pop in to discuss your health and requirements? At Brock Street, our friendly, trained team will ensure vitamin B12 injections are suitable for you (or offer alternative treatments). We can administer your injection in a comfortable, discreet setting, and provide friendly advice on possible side effects and ongoing best practice to stay feeling more like yourself again, making it simple, stress-free, and easy for you to stay on top of your health.
