Frequently asked questions
What is Bigvin Injection?
Bigvin Injection is a form of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that is necessary for the body to make red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It also helps release energy from food and utilize vitamin B11 (folate).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
You can obtain vitamin B12 from sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may not get enough vitamin B12 as it is not naturally found in fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, vitamin B12 deficiency is commonly observed in vegetarians and vegans.

A lack of vitamin B12 can cause tiredness and weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition where red blood cells are larger than normal).

Other symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
