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

Will Res-V® plus help my aching joints?
Because RES-V® PLUS helps with inflammation it is used to naturally assist the discomfort associated with joint problems. We recommend RES-V® PLUS for joint inflammation e.g. Osteoarthritis - because it a) supports circulation to the joints helping to naturally supply the joints with nutrients for repair and regeneration, and b) Provides antioxidants which can help to normalise inflammation in, and surrounding the joints, and c) Supports those people who experience uric acid build up within the joints, which leads to gout. We have many satisfied customers taking RES-V® PLUS for their joints in conjunction with a joint formula containing the essential nutrients glucosamine and chondroitin.
I get gout will RES-V® PLUS make it worse?
No, RES-V® PLUS often helps improve this condition. Gout is classified as a type of metabolic arthritis that occurs due to an increase in uric acid levels within the body. Uric acid crystals deposit themselves in our joints – most commonly the big toes, fingers or knee, with an attack often being caused by a high consumption of alcohol, seafood’s or red meat. While RES-V® PLUS contains red grape skin, it does not contain any alcohol, and therefore will not exacerbate the symptoms of gout. RES-V® PLUS may assist the circulation and clearing the uric acid form joints, as well as providing mild anti-inflammatory support. RES-V™ PLUS should not replace your gout medication.
