Baseline nutrient status, liver health, and overall metabolic function are equally important determinants of whether lipotropic injections are appropriate
As of writing, studies in laboratory animals have not identified significant safety concerns [3, 4]

The problem with this is that many sufferers of a B12 deficiency may not have anaemia or have a serum B12 blood level within an abnormally low range in accordance with the normal ranges set
Some receive a little, but what they may be taught is not necessarily up to date or their training focused solely on PA (pernicious anaemia) and the frankly ridiculous notion that anyone without a definite diagnosis of this or the presence of anaemia does not require treatment
Low B12 doesnt directly cause weight gain, but chronic fatigue and slow metabolism from a deficiency may lead to reduced activity levels, contributing to weight gain over time
