Not sleeping well? Stressed? Noticing symptoms of irritability, lack of drive, reduced exercise capacity, fuzzy thinking, or tingling in your hands or feet? Overt vitamin B12 deficiency or suboptimal levels of B12 can cause all these symptoms. Regular use of heartburn medications, certain anti-diabetics, antibiotics, excessive coffee intake and vegetarian diets can exacerbate vitamin B12 deficiency, as can the aging process. Moreover, for anyone taking antidepres- sants, researchers have found better results when such medications are taken concurrent with vitamin B12 shots. Vitamin B12 plays an important role in pro- tecting us from heart disease, supports healthy circulation, immune function, red blood cell production, mood regulation, memory, concentration and mental clarity. The Wellness Center offers B12 shots every Tuesday. Appointments are recommended, though walk-ins can be accommodated. Tuesdays: 3–7 pm; $50 initial visit, $25 subsequent visits; one full business day notice required for appointment cancellations. 68 | Washington Athletic Club Magazine | MAY / JUNE 2012 Feeling sluggish and weighed down?
