Vitamin B12 Injections
What are Vitamin B12 injections?
Vitamin B12 injections are an effective way to treat a vitamin deficiency. There is only one type of vitamin B12 injection available in the UK, known as hydroxocobalamin. Vitamin B12 tablets, also known as cyanocobalamin, can be bought over the counter from pharmacies or health stores, but are not as effective as the injection.
Vitamin B12 is one of the most important vitamins your body needs to make new cells each day. Vitamin B12 deficiency means your body is not getting enough to stay healthy, and as a result, you can experience symptoms such as tiredness, headaches, shortness of breath and heart palpitations.
