A B12 deficiency can result from a lack of intrinsic factor , a substance that is secreted in the stomach and needed to absorb B12

While B12 injections are generally considered safe, its important to be aware of potential side effects, which are typically mild and may include: Mild pain or redness at the injection site Temporary itching or rash Diarrhea or upset stomach Headache These side effects are usually short-lived and resolve on their own
Notably, the highest dose tested (54 mg) showed increased gastrointestinal event frequency compared to lower doses, suggesting a dose-relationship for this effect category
When users cut their intake by 30-40%, they dramatically reduce their consumption of B12-rich foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy
