Here are some groups at higher risk of deficiency: People with gastrointestinal issues: Conditions like pernicious anaemia, Crohns disease, or those who have undergone gastric bypass surgery can affect B12 absorption
Common adverse effects include: Injection site reactions pain, redness, swelling, or bruising at the intramuscular injection site Gastrointestinal disturbances nausea, diarrhoea, or abdominal discomfort Headache and dizziness particularly following initial doses Skin reactions including rash, pruritus, or acne-like eruptions Flushing temporary redness of the skin Chromaturia red-coloured urine (harmless but can cause concern if unexpected) Less common but more serious reactions include: Hypersensitivity reactions ranging from mild urticaria to anaphylaxis (rare but potentially life-threatening) Hypokalaemia particularly during initial treatment when rapid cell production occurs [5] [16] Temporary changes in blood counts during correction of deficiency Interference with laboratory tests primarily with high-dose IV hydroxocobalamin used for cyanide poisoning, not typically with standard 1mg IM replacement doses Cautions and contraindications: Hypersensitivity to cobalt or vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin should be avoided in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy [2] [17] Chloramphenicol may reduce the haematological response to B12 therapy Patients receiving B12 injections outside clinical necessity face unnecessary risks without proven benefit
I really like the MIC/ B12 homekit
Research has examined its role in: 3-adrenergic receptor upregulation and adipose tissue sensitisation studies Lipolysis stimulation and plasma glycerol elevation in adipocyte models Lipogenesis inhibition and fat accumulation prevention in diet-induced obesity models Fat oxidation and energy expenditure pathway research Metabolic flexibility and substrate oxidation studies in obese murine models Cartilage regeneration and intra-articular joint biology in osteoarthritis models Safety pharmacology genotoxicity, bioavailability, and plasma kinetics profiling Comparative hGH fragment activity studies alongside AOD9401 and native hGH AOD9604 and Adipose Tissue Research In obese Zucker rats treated with oral AOD9604 at 500 g/kg body weight for 19 days, over 50% reduction in body weight gain was observed compared to controls, accompanied by significantly increased lipolytic activity in adipose tissue
