Frequently asked questions
What is Intebion 500mcg Injection?
Intebion 500mcg Injection is a form of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in the body's production of red blood cells and maintains a healthy nervous system. It also contributes to energy release and utilizes vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?

It may also cause nerve problems including numbness and tingling sensations in the hands and feet. Other potential signs of vitamin B12 deficiency include issues with balance, depression, confusion, memory impairment, a sore mouth or tongue, and other neurological symptoms.
