Frequently asked questions
What is Nuromax 500mcg Injection?

Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is found in meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Individuals following vegetarian or vegan diets may find it challenging to obtain adequate Vitamin B12 as it is not naturally present in fruits, vegetables, or grains. Consequently, they may experience a vitamin B12 deficiency.

Other possible symptoms include balance issues, depression, confusion, memory problems, mouth sores, and tongue soreness.
