Frequently asked questions
What is Alphamix 500mcg Injection?
Alphamix 500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, an essential nutrient that supports the body's production of red blood cells and maintains a healthy nervous system. It also aids in energy release and utilizes vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can I not obtain enough vitamin B12 from my diet?
Vitamin B12 is found naturally in sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Vegetarians and vegans may lack sufficient B12 because it is not naturally found in fruits, vegetables, or grains. It's important for individuals following these diets to ensure adequate B12 intake through supplements or fortified foods.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal growth of red blood cells). It can also cause nerve problems like numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Additionally, it may result in balance difficulties, depression, confusion, dementia, impaired memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
