Then, we'll review your medical history, looking at things like your diet (especially if you're vegan or vegetarian), your age, any stomach or gut conditions, past surgeries, and even the medicines you take, like metformin or proton pump inhibitors, which can sometimes affect B12 levels
B12 injections supply vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin or cyanocobalamin, typically given intramuscularly into the deltoid, supporting red blood cell formation, myelin and nervous system health, and the metabolism of homocysteine, a process that can falter with vegan diets, malabsorption, or medications like metformin
Because IM injections send B12 directly into muscle, the vitamin peaks in blood within about an hour, ensuring tissues get what they need
I always recommend a series of 10 shots taken every 7 days over 10 weeks
