Be alert for allergy indicators, which might include: Immediate onset of hives, rash, or facial swelling post-injection Breathing difficulties Sensations of faintness or dizziness A feeling of chest constriction If you experience concerns like Feeling worse after my B12 injection, following your B12 administration, please reach out to us promptly
This is particularly true for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet
If you receive injections regularly, rotate the sites to prevent tissue damage
We also care for many individuals with digestive disorders like Crohns disease or celiac disease, which can make it challenging to get enough B12 from diet alone
When you swallow a B12 pill, several steps have to work for it to be absorbed: stomach acid and the enzyme pepsin must release B12 from food or the supplement, the stomach must secrete a protein called intrinsic factor that binds to B12, and the B12-intrinsic factor complex must reach the ileum (the end of the small intestine) where it is finally absorbed
