Frequently asked questions
What is Qmec 1500mcg Injection?
Qmec 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in the body, aiding in red blood cell formation and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also contributes to energy release from food and supports the utilization of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why may I not be getting enough vitamin B12 through diet?
Vitamin B12 is mainly found in animal-based products like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. Vegetarians or vegans may experience difficulties obtaining adequate amounts of vitamin B12 from their diets as it's not naturally present in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. This can lead to a deficiency.
What happens if I have a Vitamin B12 deficiency?
A lack of vitamin B12 may cause fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia. This condition results in abnormally large red blood cells. Additionally, it can lead to nerve problems like numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, along with other symptoms such as imbalance, depression, confusion, memory problems, mouth or tongue soreness.
