Do Vitamin B12 shots enhance athletic performance?

The direct impact of Vitamin B12 shots on athletic performance debate. Here’s what you need to understand:

  • Benefits for the Deficient: If an athlete has a significant Vitamin B12 deficiency, correcting it can improve oxygen delivery and energy levels, resulting in performance improvements.
  • Limited Impact on the Non-Deficient: If an athlete already has adequate Vitamin B12 levels, supplementing with shots is unlikely to provide a significant performance boost.
  • Supports Overall Health: Vitamin B12 plays a role in muscle repair and immune function, which indirectly benefits athletes.

While Vitamin B12 is important for athletes, the idea of shots as a magical performance enhancer isn’t always accurate. AIVI Aesthetics in Agoura Hills can assess your Vitamin B12 levels and advise if a deficiency might be impacting your training.
