Cobalamin, or vitamin B12, is a nutrient the human body needs to produce red blood cells and keep the nerves healthy. Individuals who develop a deficiency are at risk of developing anemia, which can cause nerve damage if left untreated. Many patients receive vitamin b12 injections to treat this type of deficiency. Most people receive enough of this water-soluble B vitamin by eating a balanced diet. It is available naturally in fish, dairy products and meat. Deficiency can be a problem for individuals who do not consume these foods. Clinics devoted to helping people lose weight often offer these injections to clients. They claim the supplement will boost metabolism, increase energy, and promote the loss of unwanted pounds. The truth is people who are not deficient are unlikely to experience any type of energy boost with this treatment. The body will automatically flush any excess amount because it easily dissolves in water. An injection to treat anemia is necessary once per week or once per month, depending on the patient's individual needs. Patients must receive treatment within six months of the first signs of any symptoms. If the condition goes untreated, pernicious anemia can lead to permanent nerve damage. Certain health conditions can inhibit the absorption of this nutrient making the injection less effective. Some of the health problems that can affect the body's use of this vitamin include certain parasitic infections, chronic alcoholism, Crohn's disease, and celiac disease. Physicians must treat the underlying cause for the deficiency in addition to using vitamin replacement therapy. B12 injections are effective when given in the upper arm, the hip, or the thigh. The thigh and hip are popular injection sites because there is less chance of hitting a blood vessel instead of the muscles. Rotating the site is helpful to avoid the formation of scar tissue, which has a negative effect on absorption. phoenixmedsinc.com is the leading manufacturer, wholesaler and distributor of dietary supplements and injections.
