With around 15% of people failing to get the right levels of Vitamin B12 through their diet alone and with the body unable to produce any for itself, supplements and injections have become a common solution
Vitamin B12 Boosts energy and metabolism by helping cells produce proteins and function optimally
It is a distinct condition from simple dietary B12 shortfall, and it needs medical evaluation
It works by increasing your levels of vitamin B12 so that you can make red blood cells that work properly to carry oxygen around your body
With B12 injections, all the dose is delivered into the bloodstream, so you get the maximum benefit
Patients seeking B12 testing or treatment should consult their GP, who can arrange appropriate blood tests (serum B12, full blood count, folate, and if indicated, intrinsic factor and parietal cell antibodies) and prescribe treatment if deficiency is confirmed
