Vitamin B12 injections are often recommended for individuals who: Follow a vegetarian or vegan diet Have a diagnosed absorption issue such as pernicious anaemia Have had gastric surgery or digestive disorders like Crohns or coeliac disease Take medications that interfere with B12 absorption, such as metformin or proton pump inhibitors Are over the age of 50 and produce less stomach acid Regularly experience fatigue, brain fog or low mood without explanation Even if you havent been formally diagnosed with a deficiency, many people find B12 injections help restore their energy and mental clarity when theyre feeling run down
In addition, to strengthen antioxidant defense, folic acid upregulates the expression of Nrf2 and its downstream effectors heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1), while reducing OS markers such as MDA levels, thereby attenuating high-fat diet-induced OS and chronic inflammation (68)
