Frequently asked questions
What is Anicoba 1500mcg Injection?
Anicoba 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that helps the body create red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in releasing energy from food and utilizing folate (vitamin B11).
Why can't I get enough vitamin B12 through my diet?
You can obtain vitamin B12 from various sources, including meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, those following a vegetarian or vegan diet may not get sufficient vitamin B12 as it is not naturally present in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, people who choose these diets might experience vitamin B12 deficiency.
What happens if I have a vitamin B12 deficiency?
A lack of vitamin B12 can cause fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal red blood cell production).
