Frequently asked questions
What is Alzec 1500mcg Injection?
Alzec 1500mcg Injection contains Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in the production of red blood cells and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also helps release energy from food and facilitates proper utilization of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is found naturally in some animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, vegetarians or vegans might not obtain enough vitamin B12 from their diets because it is not present in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, vitamin B12 deficiency is commonly observed in those following these diets.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to tiredness and weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal increase in red blood cells). It may also cause nerve problems like numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Other possible symptoms include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and mouth or tongue soreness.
