Frequently asked questions
What is Micolin 1500mcg Injection?
Micolin 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, a vital nutrient essential for the body's production of red blood cells and the maintenance of a healthy nervous system. Vitamin B12 also plays a role in energy release from food and uses vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is obtained through dietary sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
