Frequently asked questions
What is Nencomin Injection?

Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal-based foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Vegetarians and vegans may be at a higher risk of deficiency as it is not naturally present in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause a range of symptoms, including fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia. It may also lead to nerve problems such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, as well as issues with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is recommended that you consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
