For seniors, adequate B12 levels help prevent cognitive decline and promote emotional stability
Therefore, serum B 12 values above the cut-off point of deficiency do not necessarily confirm adequate B 12 status
Numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, depression, confusion, or poor memory can also occur
Why B12 Shots Are More Effective Than Oral Supplements When taken orally, B12 has to go through digestion, which affects how much gets absorbed
In the UK, hydroxocobalamin is the standard form used for intramuscular injections, and routine monitoring of serum B12 levels during replacement therapy is generally not required once treatment is established
