As the body cannot naturally produce Vitamin B12, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation
Weeks 1 through 4: 0.25mg per week (1mg total used over 4 weeks) Weeks 5 through 8: 0.5mg per week (2mg total used over 4 weeks) Weeks 9 through 12: 1.0mg per week (4mg total used over 4 weeks) Weeks 13 through 16: 1.7mg per week (6.8mg total used over 4 weeks) Week 17 onward: 2.4mg per week (maintenance dose) During the first four weeks at 0.25mg weekly, you use only 1mg from your 10mg vial
There is always a risk of potential side effects when taking medication
According to Ali Kalenak, a registered nurse and founder of Remedie Hydration Therapy in Jackson, Wyoming, most B12 shots come in 1,000 mcg doses
