According to a report from The Guardian, vitamin B12 shots are being promoted at med spas and on social media as a "pick-me-up" for people who feel run down. The article was written by Keren Landman.

The report says med spa owners and employees have described the injections on social media as a way to get through a busy week or a tiring stretch. According to the report, some med spas say many people feel an energy lift within a day, though the summary of the article is cut off at that point.

The Guardian's central question is whether the shots actually make people feel more energized. The summary available for this report does not state the outlet's conclusion on that question, and it does not identify any study or expert findings that would answer it.

This account is based only on the summary of the Guardian article. Other details in the full piece are not reflected here.
