Frequently asked questions
What is Neutron 1000mcg Injection?
Neutron 1000mcg Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in the body's production of red blood cells and the maintenance of a healthy nervous system. It also aids in energy release from food, as well as utilizing vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 from my diet?
Vitamin B12 is typically obtained through the consumption of meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, individuals following a vegetarian or vegan dietary pattern may struggle to meet their vitamin B12 requirements as it's not naturally found in fruits, vegetables, or grains.

What happens if I have a vitamin B12 deficiency?
A vitamin B12 deficiency can manifest as fatigue and weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (which results in abnormally large red blood cells). In severe cases, it may lead to nerve problems such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Other symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency include difficulties with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, memory impairment, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
