What exactly are vitamin B injections?

The vitamin B complex comprises eight vitamins known as water-soluble (they dissolve in water): B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B8 (biotin), B9 (folic acid) and B12 (cobalamin). These vitamins are assimilated by the body through food: they’re found in cereals, pulses, legumes, nuts and seeds, cheese, meat, poultry, eggs, fish, milk as well as in fresh fruit and vegetables.

In what cases should vitamin B be taken?

In the event of vitamin B deficiency, it’s possible to opt for a supplementary intake: such as the intravenous vitamin injections that YuBoost proposes. Several signs and symptoms should alert you to a possible vitamin B deficiency: digestive disorders (diarrhoea, constipation), skin issues (rashes, cracks around the mouth, for example), tiredness, anaemia and occasionally neuropsychiatric disorders (irritability, depression). Vegans and vegetarians are more likely to suffer from vitamin B deficiency. This is also the case for people on long-term proton-pump inhibitor-type treatment.
