They are particularly beneficial for those with absorption issues, ensuring that the body receives adequate levels of this essential vitamin to maintain optimal energy, nerve function, and overall health. DR
This is the inactive form of vitamin B12 that requires the body to expend more energy to convert and remove a cyanide molecule than other forms of B12
As a result, drinking too much of it results in dehydration
Other relevant interactions: Colchicine (used for gout) may affect B12 absorption with long-term use Chloramphenicol (rarely used antibiotic) may blunt the haematological response to B12 treatment Monitoring considerations: Patients taking loop or thiazide diuretics require careful monitoring when initiating B12 therapy in severe deficiency, due to the risk of hypokalaemia during rapid cell production

In these cases, the body may not absorb enough B12 from food or even from oral supplements
