Joint deformities
Certain health conditions that affect the gut, like Crohns or celiac disease, can also make absorption a major challenge
Sublingual B12, which bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, is the least invasive and potentially most cost-effective option, especially for individuals with impaired absorption, making it an attractive alternative for long-term and patient-friendly management (Vidal-Alaball et al., 2006)
B12 deficiency is typically treated in one of two ways, and some providers use both methods simultaneously [4]: - Intramuscular injection (a shot containing 1 mg of vitamin B12) - A prescription for a high-dose oral vitamin B12 supplement But how long to recover from vitamin B12 deficiency after each treatment
Studies show these drugs have different effects on patients
Of course, older adults, people over age 50 in particular, tend to have the lowest B12 levels, though vegetarians and those who have undergone gastric bypass surgery are also at a higher risk
