Vitamin B12 Injection
Background & History

First accounts of B12 supplementation date back to 1849
Up to 15% of Americans are deficient in B12
Nutrient deficiencies & gut-related health issues increase likelihood of B12 deficiency
Contains methylcobalamin B12, a naturally-occurring form (unlike cyanocobalamin) vital to central nervous system function
Intramuscular injection delivers B12 directly into the bloodstream, unlike other methods (e.g. pills)
