Treatment of Vitamin B12 Deficiency Treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency in the UK follows established guidelines, with the approach depending on the cause, severity, and presence of neurological symptoms
its mainly a concern with supplement doses far above the daily requirement
Vitamin B12, when injected, can increase energy, decrease inflammation, improve metabolism, and support sleep, mood, and memory
The fatigue relief people report from B12 shots when they are not deficient is likely attributable to placebo effect and the positive experience of proactive self-care
It is important not to self-treat with high-dose B12 supplements before seeing your GP if you suspect deficiency, as this can interfere with diagnostic blood tests and potentially mask underlying conditions such as pernicious anaemia
Thats where injections come in
