The body produces vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight
In powder form, however, the B12 can last for years
Deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anaemia and neurological complications
Rarely reported symptoms associated with excessive B12 intake may include: Skin reactions : Acne-like eruptions or rosacea-type dermatitis have been occasionally reported, particularly with high-dose intramuscular injections Gastrointestinal disturbance : Mild nausea, diarrhoea, or abdominal discomfort, though these are uncommon Headache : Infrequent reports of headaches following parenteral B12 administration Hypersensitivity reactions : In very rare cases, allergic reactions to injectable B12 preparations have been documented It is crucial to note that there is no established link between standard B12 supplementation and serious adverse effects
