Vitamin B12
I got my Master Health checkup done in Sept 2018 and as per the doctor's advise I went for Vitamin B12 test on 8th Sept 2018.
As of 8th sept 2018 my vitamin b12 score was 163.
As per the instructions, I got the shots of Neurobion injection for b12 - 1 injection once a week for 6 times.
I was also told I can have Folvite MB tablets for 3 months too. However, I went for shots for faster intake.
Can you please tell me if it would be wise to go for injections (May be the weekly frequency of shots can be adjusted) or I should go for tablets.

Yes taking injection is a burden to our system. It's better to get it by nutrition itself, which can be taken by Maintaining Customised diet and exercise plan.you can consult with me for customised lifestyle planning.
