How do Vitamin Injections Work?
Vitamin Injections in Swindon
The Vitamin B12 injection is an effective way to treat a deficiency. There is only one type of vitamin B12 injection available in the UK, known as hydroxocobalamin. Vitamin B12 tablets, also known as cyanocobalamin, can be bought over the counter from pharmacies or health stores, but are not as effective as the injection.
Unlike vitamins that are taken orally, vitamin injections bypass the digestive system and result in a 90-100% vitamin absorption rate.
