The Health & Savings Benefits of Injections vs Pills
Faster Absorption
By passing the digestive tract where the medication may fail to absorb properly or may be broken down into ineffective metabolites — especially important for older patients who may have compromised digestive function
Immediate effectiveness
Immediate onset of benefits vs delayed onset with pills
Better Tolerance
The capacity to administer higher doses in concentrated amounts compared to pills
Patients intuitively understand the benefits of injections over pills in terms of the effectiveness of the medication in question. In one study of perceptions of long-acting injections (LAIs) compared to pills, for example, “the perceived advantage for LAI over pills and the belief about the better efficiency of LAI were the main factors that drove the preference for LAI.“
In short, supplements via injection directly enter the bloodstream, resulting in no waste and immediate onset of therapeutic action.
With the noteworthy benefits of injections vs pills for supplementation in mind – both in terms of your financial and physical health — let’s get into the different treatment options we offer our patients at B12 Injections Miami.
*Note: the syringes we use are very small and painless, you can do it!
Products & Programs
When working with B12 Injections Miami you will have access to a variety of products and programs that best fit your needs. From vitamin supplementation to weight loss programs, our services can help you with your goals. Our popular programs include the HCG Diet, Lipotropic Injections, Glutathione, BCAA shots, and of course the B12 injections. We have other programs available and listed in our website heading. Getting started is quick and easy.
The first step in getting started with us is to complete our simple online intake form (link located above). Once the intake form is submitted our team of physicians will get you approved after reviewing your medical history and ensuring no contraindications exist. The approval process is rapid, and files are often approved on the same day they are submitted. Once a person is approved, the next step is a walk-in appointment or a telemedicine appointment for non-locals. After your appointment you’ll be ready to start. We will provide you with all your required medications and supplies (syringes, alcohol pads, instructions).
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a naturally-produced hormone. Its primary function is to support progesterone production during pregnancy. However, researchers have discovered several therapeutic potentials of the molecule via supplementation as well, including as a performance-enhancing supplement for athletes.
The HCG diet, which tens of thousands of patients have used to shed unwanted fat since the 1950s, is a proven weight loss technique. The protocol, divided into four phases, combines a low-calorie diet (typically 500 daily calories) ; however , we customize everyone’s caloric intake based on body mass index (BMI) & body metabolic rate (BMR) with prescription HCG injections.

How Does HCG Promote Weight Loss?
Essentially, as the clinical evidence demonstrates, HCG spurs the release of a molecule called adiponectin, a powerful peptide hormone (protein).
Adiponectin, in turn, facilitates the breakdown of fatty acids and regulates blood sugar (glucose) levels to promote sustainable weight loss.

The label “Lipotropic” applies to a supplement (catalyst) that aids in the breakdown of fat via the metabolic process.
As such, the lipotropic injections we use for our patients’ therapy are concoctions of several supplements with lipotropic properties such as:
- L-Carnitine
- Methionine
- Choline
- Inositol
- B12
- The entire roster of B-complex vitamins
B12 Injections Miami recommends our patients to receive these injections a minimum of once every three days. Vegans, again, benefit most from this form of supplementation, given the high carnitine, creatine, and amino acid content that may be missing from a meat-free diet.
Carnitine — an essential amino acid (meaning the body does not naturally produce it and so must be sourced through diet or supplementation — is particularly potent as a weight-loss supplement for vegans, who often do not get enough:
“Meta-analysis results revealed that l-carnitine supplementation significantly decreased weight, body mass index (BMI), and fat mass.”

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is critical for optimal health. In the human body, B12 is responsible for the following functions:
- DNA synthesis
- Cellular energy production (metabolism)
- Protecting nerve function (via the myelin sheath)
- Red blood cell production
- Aiding in the absorption of folic acid
Given those important functions, the wide-ranging symptoms of low B12 levels in the blood can include:
- Pale skin
- Paresthesia (tingling in the extremities, often called “pins and needles”)
- Weakness in the limbs
- Balance problems
- Cognitive issues and/or dementia
- Neuropathy
The data shows that as high as 15% of the US population is deficient in vitamin B12.
Why B12 Injections, Not Pills?
The oral administration of B12 (in pill form) carries significant drawbacks:
“Vitamin B12 is absorbed in the terminal ileum. This absorption is almost entirely dependent upon intrinsic factor (IF), a glycoprotein secreted by parietal cells situated in the mucosa of the stomach. IF binds to Vitamin B12 and the complex is transported across the cell membrane bound to another glycoprotein called transcobalamin.”
But what happens if you, the patient, have insufficient amounts of IF to facilitate B12 absorption? Or other absorption issues that limit B12 uptake? The researchers continue:
“In pernicious anemia [B12] absorption is impaired due to IF deficiency arising from autoimmune destruction of parietal cells. Other common causes of vitamin B12 deficiency include gastrectomy, ileal resection, pancreatic insufficiency and malabsorption syndromes including Crohn’s disease and coeliac disease.”
The bottom line: for patients with the above gastrointestinal challenges, getting enough B12 into the bloodstream through oral supplementation is not possible. In these cases, intravenous B12 administration via injection is not just preferable – it is essential.
B12 Injections Miami delivers 500 times the B12 dosage through its injections than the daily recommended dosage, which produces reliably positive results in terms of:
- Improved sleep (reducing or eliminating the symptoms of insomnia and regulating the circadian rhythm)
- Better mood (reducing or eliminating feelings of depression and anxiety)
- Increased energy levels
The ideal form of B12 that we use in our therapies — a naturally-occurring version called methylcobalamin— delivers the greatest health improvements to patients.
Who Benefits Most From B12 Injections?
The following groups – the ones most likely to experience B12 deficiency – benefit most from B12 injections:
- Diabetics
- Patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery
- Older adults
- Strict vegetarians
