Frequently asked questions
What is Salcob 1500mcg Injection?
Salcob 1500mcg Injection contains Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient required for the body to make red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
You obtain Vitamin B12 from foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
