Frequently asked questions
What is Cobavital 2500mcg Injection?
Cobavital 2500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, an essential nutrient crucial for the body's production of red blood cells and maintenance of a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in releasing energy from food and utilizing Vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why may I not be getting sufficient vitamin B12 through diet alone?
The primary sources of vitamin B12 are animal-based products like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. While a vegetarian or vegan diet can lack this source, it's crucial to choose fortified food options, such as plant-based milks enriched with Vitamin B12.
