Vitamin B12 Example: Oral vs Intravenous

When you’re given an oral dosage of 1 mg of vitamin B12, your actual ability to absorb and use the vitamin B12 relies on all of the following factors

1. The type of vitamin B12: There are 3 types and only one of them is super absorbable

2. The quality of your supplement: There are different disintegration and absorption rates, and this is important because your tablet or capsule should be broken down well enough by the time it hits your small intestine for your body to be able to easily absorb the vitamin B12 that it needs

3. Your production of intrinsic factor in your stomach: Vitamin B12 absorption occurs in the last section of your small intestine BUT if your stomach doesn’t produce enough intrinsic factor, you won’t be absorbing any of it.

4. Your digestive system: Your gut should be working like clockwork (ie. minimal gas, bloating, constipation or diarrhea) in order for everything to make it through your system in the proper amount of time so that it can be absorbed optimally

5. The health of your liver: Everything that you absorb from your small intestines is “processed” through the liver in order ensure that it’s safe and can be properly used by your body.

When you’re given an IV dose of 1 mg of vitamin B12, it’s much more quick acting because it’s a direct injection into your blood stream.

All of the IV nutrients are specially compounded from a licensed compounding pharmacy in Toronto. Each IV bag is specially compounded at the clinic and customised for that individual patient.

Naturopathic doctors in Ontario obtain further training and licensing exams in order to offer IV therapy to their patients.

Feel free to reach out to Dr. Moira Kwok ND if you have any questions.

You can also schedule a free 15 min meet & greet appointment to ask her questions about IV therapy and her treatment approach.
