If you ever feel worse after a B12 injection, the cause is most likely not the B12 itself, but some troublesome excipient
Vitamin B12 injections are often recommended for individuals who: Follow a vegetarian or vegan diet Have a diagnosed absorption issue such as pernicious anaemia Have had gastric surgery or digestive disorders like Crohns or coeliac disease Take medications that interfere with B12 absorption, such as metformin or proton pump inhibitors Are over the age of 50 and produce less stomach acid Regularly experience fatigue, brain fog or low mood without explanation Even if you havent been formally diagnosed with a deficiency, many people find B12 injections help restore their energy and mental clarity when theyre feeling run down
If normal, start 1000 mcg oral b12 daily as prevention given multiple risk factors (age, metformin, PPI, now semaglutide)
