Frequently asked questions
What is Elbion DS 2500mcg Injection?
Elbion DS 2500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in the body, helping it produce red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It's also crucial for releasing energy from food and using Vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why might I not get enough vitamin B12 through my diet?
Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal-based foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may have difficulty obtaining sufficient Vitamin B12, as it's not naturally present in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains.
What happens if I experience a vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal development of red blood cells).
