Frequently asked questions
What is Nervz B 12 Injection?
Nervz B 12 Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that helps the body make red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system, as well as release energy from food and use vitamin B11 (folate).
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is typically found in animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Vegetarians or vegans may not get enough vitamin B12 as it is not naturally present in plant-based foods. This can lead to deficiency if these individuals don't consume adequate sources of vitamin B12.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal red blood cell condition).
