About B12 Injections:
B12 is an essential vitamin for achieving optimal health, whether obtained through diet or supplementation. Supplementation may be necessary due to a common genetic mutation known as MTHFR, which affects approximately 40% of the population. Methylcobalamin is the most bioavailable form of B12, meaning it is the most readily absorbed and utilized by your cells, and is particularly important for those with the MTHFR mutation. Other forms of B12, such as cyanocobalamin and hydroxycobalamin, may also be used based on individual sensitivity to methylated B vitamins. Blood tests for B12 levels can be misleading since B12 is water-soluble and does not accumulate in cells. Instead, homocysteine levels should be assessed through blood work to determine the need for B12 supplementation.
