Vitamin B12 Injections in Burlington
Vitamin B12 injections are effective in reversing a deficiency in individuals who have issues absorbing the vitamin from food sources or supplements. The absorption is usually impaired in elderly population, in individuals with low stomach acid or stomach surgery, inflammatory bowel disease or other causes of malabsorption such as medications (e.g. Metformin), parasites, etc.
Methylcobalamin (methyl B12) is the active form of the vitamin, preferred by naturopathic practitioners. The methyl group makes B12 readily available for the brain to use it, and the benefits of methyl B12 extend to the processes of detoxification (heavy metals, hormones) which involve the methylation pathway.
What is Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for red blood cell production, neurological function, cell metabolism and energy production as well as DNA synthesis. Optimal B12 level is involved in lowering homocysteine, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular events.
Vitamin B12 is absorbed in the gut with the help of stomach acid and intrinsic factor, a protein made by the stomach lining cells. Food sources of vitamin B12 include animal proteins (eggs, meat, diary, fish) therefore strict vegetarians and vegans could become deficient and need to supplement.
Who would benefit from Vitamin B12?
Depression, anxiety
Mental fatigue
Anemia (pernicious)
Fibromyalgia
Neurological symptoms (cognitive impairment, dementia, numbness in extremities, headaches)
Autoimmune disorders
Weight gain

I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism
I recently used Pillars of Wellness services for my injuries. I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism. The first time I came to do my assessment, the owner, the physiotherapist and the chiropractor sat with me to help me figure out the best way to feel better and faster. I spent 6 weeks with on-going treatment using different modalities. The end result was no more pain and I was able to move again!! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

I’m feeling very supported during my recovery….
On the advice of a friend, I reached out and booked a series of appointments with their occupational therapist, Lori; physiotherapist, Abida; and their naturopath, Dr. Galantai to help with recovering from a concussion. It has been an excellent experience! They are all incredible practitioners.
This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a longer term injury and their genuine, individualized care has really lessened my stress. I’m feeling very supported during my recovery and highly recommend their clinic. I credit my continual improvement to the holistic way I’m getting treatment for my symptoms and am very grateful.
I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
