As with any injection or medical service, safety matters
For severe deficiency, clinicians typically prescribe loading doses daily or every other day for one to two weeks followed by monthly maintenance injections
Vitamin B12 injections are ideal for individuals experiencing fatigue, low energy, brain fog, or mood changes that may be linked to B12 deficiency
For B12: monthly for wellness, or weekly for 48 weeks to correct confirmed deficiency
The good news: All forms of B12 supplements are relatively safe and can help you sidestep symptoms of a deficiency
Maintenance phase: Once the loading phase is complete, patients transition to maintenance therapy with 1 mg hydroxocobalamin intramuscularly every two to three months for life
