Vitamin B12, when injected, can increase energy, decrease inflammation, improve metabolism, and support sleep, mood, and memory
Such changes increase the ability of cells to move, which is essential for wound healing and tissue repair
Interestingly, athletes receiving regular B12 injections often show serum levels exceeding 1,000 pg/mL immediately post-injection, with some maintaining levels up to 3,000 pg/mL after four weeks of treatment
Elderly patients should be reassured that most side effects are minor and that the benefits of correcting B12 deficiencypreventing irreversible neurological damage and anaemiafar outweigh these temporary inconveniences
We generally advise against this
