Vitamin B 12 deficiency is defined by low levels of stored B 12 in the body that can result in anemia, a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells
For patients with severe cases of anemia or B12 vitamin deficiencies, a form of vitamin B12 called Hydroxocobalamin is sometimes used and does require a prescription
Typical dosage: 250500mcg once or twice daily Administration: Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection near the injury site Cycle length: 24 weeks for minor injuries
I went in for an evaluation and consultation
A randomized controlled trial in 167 older adults (50 years) found two-year supplementation with vitamin B 12 (10 g/day), along with folic acid (200 g/day), vitamin B6 (10 mg/day), riboflavin (5 mg/day), and vitamin D (10 g/day), had no effect on bone mineral density (total hip, femoral neck, or lumbar spine) compared to the control group only receiving vitamin D (10 g/day ) (116)
