- What is the best way to get vitamin b12 shots if you have a thyroid problem? You have 3 mains options:
#1. Oral capsules or tablets.
#2. Sublingual B12.
#3. Vitamin B12 shots.
For thyroid patients, the best option is usually to use B12 shots because these bypass the intestinal tract which is often the source of issues for thyroid patients taking oral and sublingual B12. B12 shots enter straight into your body and bypass first-pass metabolism.
No matter which route you use, make sure you stay away from cyanocobalamin and try to get at least a high-quality form like methylcobalamin.

Dr Westin Childs - I question your information on this video . . .
The more naturally occurring Methylcobalamin shots also require oral Adenosylcobalamin to be taken for conversion. Whereas either synthetic Cyanocobalamin or Hydroxocobalamin have already been converted to be accessible for the body to use immediately and with effect (without the necessity of Adenosylcobalamin too) All of these methods require an oral input of Folic Acid (B9) to keep it high accordingly and work hand in hand (B12 shots and Folic Acid) for adequate treatment and healing with B vitamins and RBC count re Iron, Ferritin etc - amongst other blood test results that require monitoring or investigation.
I also have had Hypothyroidism for over 20 years so this is an interesting subject for me. I have developed numerous autoimmune disorders over the years including B12 deficiency. Over the past 3 years, I self inject a daily dose of Hydroxocobalamin 1mg + cofactor oral Folic acid daily at the moment in order to remain on top of my neurological symptoms that had been of concern for a considerable time. No help or support from my GP or Consultants. I am happy that I took my own health in hand ultimately as I would have been in a very sorry state by now if I hadn't.
Enjoy your channel and information but just find this post questionable and would be interested in your feedback.
I am thrilled to hear all that as I learned this in years and in a hard way. I was diagnosed hypothyroid in 2004 and b12 gave up in 2012 and every single item Dr. Westin mentioned was a struggle getting across my primary physicians. My issue is to get the supply of Methylcobalamin shots for my weekly 1000 mcg needs.
So glad to hear this. My dr did 4 once a week shot then 4 once a month. Might be in my head but I felt so
Much better once a week. Hoping after i get blood work Il
Get once a week. Great info 👍
Interesting! My mom took the shots now & then. They always helped.
Thanks Dr C.
In my case I got my B12 levels to normal through injections but once they were normal I can maintain them by having the under the tongue tablets.
What is a normal b12 range?
What about thyroid patients who also have MTHFR? The shots are not the same as methylcobamalin....so what can we do?
I thought MTHFR had something to do with Folate. You need the methylated form of folate, not folic acid as I understand it.
I wasn't aware that B12 was an issue! Yet another thing we're not told about!
What about IV’s? I have the opportunity to add them with my Vitamin C IV treatments
Many thanks for the video. ✌️👼🫶🌞
Have heard other practitioners say that serum b12 is meaningless as an indicator of whether you are deficient or not. And my serum levels are high, which I assumed was from eating lots of animal foods. How do you assess B12 sufficiency if serum B12 isn’t a good indicator?
Can someone who has hyperthyroidism but at the euthyroid stage take the Vitamin B12 shot too or is it only for those with hypothyroidism?
how much more effective thru the shot route vs sublingual+capsule?
I'm thyroidless and have been taking your brilliant advice for years now.
My question is; how do I know when to stop taking the supplements you suggest (selenium, cod liver oil, magnesium, iron, zinc, B12) or do I continue taking these every day for the rest of my life?
Thanks!
I usually recommend taking them for as long as you feel they are helping. For some like vitamin D, you can actually test but for the others, testing isn't always helpful.
@@drwestinchilds thank you
My vitamin A is consistently low & my eyes are suffering.. so is my skin. What can I do besides liver eggs & cod liver oil I’m taking in so much of those with bile salts..
You should take papaya regularly
Hi doc, i had hyperthyroidism. last night i tried vit B-6 & B-12. Suddenly my whole body is feeling hot & sweating. Is it normal? Should i continue the supplement?
My latest blood test showed my B12 is very high at around 1500 and the outside range was 300 less than that. I have been taking a methel B12 lozenge then also has folate. Does this high amount mean my body is utilizing it and has a whole lot extra so I should pull back on taking it. I did pull back on taking it every day, but I’m also in mind of my possible low intrinsic factor so possibly, I’m having issues with iron, being vitamins, and such. I am taking a product called zypan by standard process, which is supposed to replace intrinsic factor. I just get so confused. I seemed to have had pernicious, anemia symptoms, but I don’t know.
Or the methylated kind right?
Wouldn't taking betaine hydrochloride or enzymes help to digest the Vit B
no, you need intrinsic factor which is produced in the stomach
Right now I’ve been really bad and I also am aching very bad can hardly walk I’m frustrated
Me too
I'm here if you wanna msg me on Facebook seriously I'm going thru the same thing
I am too. My doctor put me on LDN and initially it helped but all the aches and pains are back. Webmd”If you have vitamin B12 deficiency, you could become anemic. A mild deficiency may cause no symptoms. But if untreated, it may lead to symptoms such as:
Weakness, tiredness, or lightheadedness
Heart palpitations and shortness of breath
Pale skin
A smooth tongue
Constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or gas
Nerve problems like numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, and problems walking
Vision loss
Mental problems like depression, memory loss, or behavioral changes “

Can lack of B12 cause depression and muscle/tendon problems in hypothyroid patients?
Depression, yes, not sure about the tendon/muscle issues.
Seems like getting a shot of B-12 every week would be rather expensive, considering the cost of a doctor visit?
You can just get a prescription and then self-administer it so you'd only need to pay for 1 visit. Depending on the size of the bottle, you can get 10+ injections.
I have hypothyroidism how do I get these shots
Speak to your primary care doctor.
@@donna25871 I’ve already spoken to my dr and the other dr that’s in the practice they take your blood and if the test says your ok they do not do anything
I’m vegan with high B12 levels.
This has to be why I'm tired 24/7. 🤬
