Women with low B12 often describe forgetting words, losing their train of thought, or feeling mentally slower than usual
A B12 deficiency can cause a variety of health problems, so it's often used to treat or prevent it
It is important to note that whilst the injection itself may maintain adequate B12 levels for weeks to months, the clinical benefits such as improved energy, cognitive function, and resolution of neurological symptomsdepend on consistent maintenance of optimal levels
However, with direct injection, if you do not need the additional B12, it may result in high levels in your blood that can cause side effects including gastrointestinal issues, headache and dizziness, tiredness and weakness, or skin irritation until the excess is flushed out via your kidneys and urine
