B12 injections are one of the more common treatments we provide, and one of the questions we hear most is a fair one: are they safe

This ensures safe and effective treatment

Monitoring: Be aware of any changes in your body and report persistent or worsening side effects to your healthcare provider

Standard dosing Daily dose: 300-600mcg per day Injection frequency: Once daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach Administration route: Subcutaneous injection Most users start at 300mcg to assess tolerance, then increase to 500-600mcg if the lower dose is well-tolerated but results are modest

Fix: Inject first thing in the morning after overnight fast, wait 30-45 minutes before eating
