A WHO consultation identified the most vulnerable groups as elderly individuals, infants, preschool-aged children, and pregnant or lactating women, due to either increased nutritional demands or impaired absorption capacity ( Addressing the prevention of B12 deficiency and its public health implications requires a comprehensive, life-course approach based on integrated strategies targeting early detection, dietary optimisation, and effective supplementation, in order to mitigate the long-term consequences of inadequate cobalamin status ( Intramuscular (IM) injection is the most invasive and costly administration method, requiring trained personnel and clinical visits
every current supply is compounded or research-grade, and its human evidence base is older and mostly about pediatric growth-hormone deficiency
Clinical trials showed average reductions of 50 mg/dL in triglyceride levels, a magnitude that typically requires dedicated lipid medications
Older Adults: Age-related declines in B12 absorption can impact cognitive and physical health, and injections help support overall well-being
