Absorption Issues and Risk Factors Some people are more likely to lack B12 because of how their body absorbs it
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
Though all of our picks performed well overall, some stood out from the crowd in certain ways
| Vial Size | BAC Water Added | Final Concentration | |-----------|----------------|---------------------| | 2 mg | 2 mL | 1 mg/mL | | 5 mg | 5 mL | 1 mg/mL | | 5 mg | 2.5 mL | 2 mg/mL | | 10 mg | 10 mL | 1 mg/mL | | 10 mg | 5 mL | 2 mg/mL | A 1 mg/mL solution is the starting point recommended in HealthRX clinical protocols for new patients because dose adjustment is straightforward and measurement error is minimized
Injection Frequency Once daily is the standard protocol
However, some symptoms are more noticeable, such as memory issues, difficulty maintaining your balance, mouth ulcers, a sore, swollen tongue, and heart palpitations
