Because the body is efficient at excreting excess B12 through urine, there is no established tolerable upper intake level (UL) for the vitamin
Hydroxocobalamin, the form most commonly used in the UK, may cause: Injection site reactions (pain, redness, or swelling) Temporary reddish discolouration of urine Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions Very rarely, hypokalaemia in severely deficient patients when treatment is initiated (potassium levels should be monitored in severe deficiency) B12 injections are considered very safe, with no upper tolerable limit established, as excess B12 is excreted in urine
Injectable B12 bypasses the digestive system, ensuring optimal absorption for those with deficiencies or absorption issues
It certainly wont hurt, since vitamin B12 doesnt cause problems at higher blood levels the way some vitamins do
