What is the role of medical supervision in B12 injection therapy
Here are some of the vitamin B12 supplements your doctor may give you: Vitamin B12 injections (typically, 1 to 2 mg of hydroxocobalamin injected into your muscles every other day for two weeks) Vitamin B12 tablets (once your levels are stabilized) Folate (your body needs folate to process vitamin B12 and vice versa) L-methionine (B12, folate, and L-methionine work together) Your doctor may also want to check to see if you need other treatments because of a problematic immune response or another deficiency
As a result, blood tests may show normal B12 levels, even though the body is not receiving the active form it needs
hydroxocobalamin circulates in the body for a much longer time, because it binds loosely to proteins in the blood
Wellness and Aesthetic Purposes Some clinics offer vitamin C injections for general wellness, energy boost, and skin enhancement
Special checks are made on observations that are more than two or three SDs from the mean
