May Prevent Major Birth Defects
The main causes of a vitamin B12 deficiency are as follows: Malabsorption due to poor intestinal health (inflammation, bacteria, fungal infection, parasites, disturbed intestinal flora) due to a lack of transport molecules (intrinsic factor), genetic diseases (cobalamin disease) or medications that hinder uptake
Vegetarians and Vegans: Since Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal products, individuals who follow plant-based diets may be at risk of deficiency and should consider supplementation
Additionally, those receiving Vitamin B12 injections in Severna Park, MD , frequently note improvements in their mental clarity and overall well-being
If a deficiency does not exist, supplementing Vitamin B12 will likely not have the same positive effect. B12 injections are available, for $15 to $50 a pop, at spas and wellness centers, but its smart to talk to your physician before you spend money on them
