B12 consists of a small group of compounds called the cobalamins and is important for healthy blood and growth, child development, and also helps to keep the eyes, brain and nervous system functioning normally
Deficiency can lead to a variety of health issues including anemia, fatigue, cognitive impairment, and nerve damage.Since Vitamin B12 is found mainly in animals, including meat, eggs, and dairy, individuals consuming more plant-based diets are relatively at a greater risk of developing deficiency
If your B12 deficiency is not diet-related, you'll need to take B12 injections
Allergic Reactions In rare cases, some people may have a severe allergic reaction to ingredients in the B12 shot
Route of Administration: Intramuscular (IM) or Subcutaneous (SC) injection
