Ongoing Events

B12 Happy Hour Wednesdays!

Every Wednesday 4 - 6pm
At the Santa Cruz Naturopathic Medical Center

Come and get your Happy Hour shot! A shot of B12!

Why B12?

• Your body needs B12 to create energy & is not well absorbed from the diet or in capsule form.
• Everyone can benefit from a B12 shot - especially those who live a busy life, athletes, seniors, vegetarians, vegans, and people on prescription meds.
• After B12 injections many patients feel a natural (not jittery) boost in energy.

B12 treats:

• fatigue, anemia
• colds/flus
• thyroid/adrenal imbalance
• anxiety, depression, insomnia
• PMS, menopause, acne
• allergies, herpes, psoriasis
• nerve pain, dementia
• obesity, heart disease, osteoporosis
• & more!

Cost: $12 during Happy Hours! A savings of over 30%!

Walk-ins welcome!

Call the Center at 831.477.1377 to find out more about B12 injections or to schedule your 10 minute injection appointment.
