Need a B12 vitamin shot?B12 is a B complex vitamin that maintains healthy nerve tissue, DNA, energy and prevents anaemia. A deficiency can lead to speech problems, nerve disorders such as tingling in the hands or feet and even difficulty in walking. We need a special transport system in our stomach to carry B12 from our food (meats, dairy and eggs) into our blood stream called the intrinsic factor. Some people don’t make enough ‘intrinsic factor’ so no matter how many supplements or B12 rich foods they consume they start on a B12 decline that can lead to nerve disorders. That’s why you may hear of people having B12 injections or ‘shots’. B12 goes directly into the blood stream bypassing the stomach. If you’re worried about B12 talk to your doctor or ask for a B12 blood test to see how much you have.

Top FAQs

Do I take RES-V® PLUS with, or without food?
The efficacy of RES-V® PLUS is not affected whether it is taken with or without food. It is a personal preference for the customer, as some people experience nausea after taking supplements.
Do I take RES-V® PLUS in the morning, or the evening?
It is suitable to take RES-V® PLUS at whatever time of the day works best for you. Some people find that taking supplements on an empty stomach causes nausea; these people should always take their supplements with a meal.
How do I know how many RES-V® PLUS capsules to take each day?
For general antioxidant benefits, in the absence of any diagnosed health condition, we recommend taking one capsule daily. If you have a health condition that you are looking to improve, then we recommend starting on two or three capsules. This dose may be decreased if you start to see positive results. Often it is a matter of getting the ‘feel’ for RES-V® PLUS, and adjusting your dosage as you need to.
