How Vitamin B12 Injections Work
Vitamin B12 injections deliver the vitamin directly into your bloodstream, bypassing any absorption issues in the gut. This method is especially useful for those who cannot absorb vitamin B12 from food or supplements due to conditions like pernicious anemia or after gastric surgery.
Who Benefits the Most?
People with severe vitamin B12 deficiency, symptomatic anemia, or neurological symptoms can benefit from injections. They are often recommended for those who have difficulty adhering to oral supplements or have absorption issues. Injections ensure rapid and effective treatment.
Comparing Oral and Injection Methods
While both oral and injection methods of vitamin B12 supplementation can be effective, injections provide a more immediate solution, especially in severe cases. Oral supplements might be sufficient for those with mild deficiencies and normal absorption, but injections guarantee adherence and absorption.
