Peptides are pH-sensitive molecules, and reconstituting them outside their stability window accelerates degradation
B12 injections are often preferred, especially in cases of malabsorption (where your body struggles to absorb B12 from food or tablets), as they deliver the vitamin directly into your bloodstream, bypassing any gut issues
B12 deficiency may cause nerve damage, such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet
Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consumption
Evidence on safety and optimal dosing schedules is limited
Chronic conditions impacting absorption include atrophic gastritis or pernicious anaemia, where there is a lack of intrinsic factor, a protein essential for the uptake of B12 in the digestive tract
