Frequently asked questions
What is Enzina 1500mcg Injection?
Enzina 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, an essential nutrient necessary for the body to produce red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system.

You can obtain vitamin B12 from sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
