![]() What’s the big deal with B-Vitamins? We see them added to all kinds of foods, energy drinks and in so many supplements, but why should we care about getting more (or even enough) B-vitamins? The family of B-vitamins are vital cofactors in an exhaustive list of processes in the body. From healthy blood cells and hearts to healthy brains, B-vitamins are vitally important to the care and maintenance of our bodies every minute. What you might not realize about B-vitamins, however, might surprise you. Vitamin B-12, in particular, plays an incredibly important role in making sure our nerves connect properly with our brains, that our red blood cells are normally sized and is also involved in creating the genetic material in every cell in the body!

These shots are a safe option to quickly and effectively boost your circulating B-12 and also your energy and mental clarity!
