Vitamin b12 Injection

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in various physiological functions in your body. It helps form red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and helps with neurological function.

Vitamin B12 deficiency is a global health issue that affects millions of people. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an estimated 1.5 to 15% of the general population has a vitamin B12 deficiency.

This prevalence increases significantly in certain groups, such as the elderly, where it can affect up to 20% of individuals over the age of 60. Vegans and vegetarians are also at a higher risk of deficiency, as plant-based diets typically lack sufficient amounts of this vitamin.
