Who actually needs vitamin B12 injections instead of oral supplements
Improved Mood and Mental Clarity: B12 plays a role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are vital for mood regulation
Pharmacokinetics: Cyanocobalamin is administered intranasally, orally, and parenterally, while hydroxocobalamin is administered only parenterally. Once absorbed, vitamin B12 is highly bound to transcobalamin II, a specific B-globulin carrier protein and is distributed and stored primarily in the liver as coenzyme B12. The bone marrow also stores a significant amount of the absorbed vitamin B12. This vitamin crosses the placenta and is distributed into breast milk. Enterohepatic recirculation conserves systemic stores. The half-life is about 6 days (400 days in the liver). Elimination is primarily through the bile; however, excess cyanocobalamin is excreted unchanged in the urine
From there, your provider (or the team at ER Wellness) can guide you on the right treatment path whether its shots, dietary changes, or oral supplements.B12 shots are not a cure-all, but for the right person, they can be life-changing
