Make sure whoever is administering your injections is properly licensed and using pharmaceutical-grade B12 from reputable sources
This direct delivery means your body doesnt have to work hard to absorb it, unlike when you take pills or eat foods rich in B12
Additional risk factors include: Chronic kidney disease : Reduced renal clearance may impair B12 excretion Liver disease : Hepatic dysfunction can disrupt B12 metabolism and storage Myeloproliferative disorders : Certain blood cancers increase B12-binding proteins Concurrent medication use : Some drugs may interact with B12 metabolism, including metformin, proton pump inhibitors, and H2 antagonists Patients with these conditions should have B12 supplementation carefully monitored by their healthcare team
