Private Vitamin B12 Injection
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that supports healthy nerve function and blood cell production. Since our bodies cannot produce Vitamin B12, it must be sourced from foods like meat, fish, milk, and eggs. A deficiency can occur if you follow a vegan diet, don’t consume enough B12-rich foods, or if you have conditions like pernicious anemia, which impair absorption.
What is the Vitamin B12 Injection?
The Vitamin B12 injection is an effective method to address a deficiency. The only form of B12 injection available in the UK is hydroxocobalamin. While B12 tablets (cyanocobalamin) can be purchased over the counter, they are less effective than the injectable form.
