B12 INJECTION

A proper level of this vitamin is necessary to the body in order to maintain adequate brain function as well as red blood cell and protein creation. Injections of vitamin B12, otherwise known as cyanocobalamin, can be considered when the body is not receiving what it needs naturally.

A deficiency in vitamin B12 may be found in persons with a diet limited in animal foods (such as vegans), or those with medical ailments affecting vitamin absorption. However, trouble absorbing this vitamin can occur in just about anyone. Among others who might consider B12 injections are those who suffer from pernicious anemia, due to their difficulty maintaining proper red blood cell counts.
