A B12 deficiency can also cause megaloblastic anemia, a condition where red blood cells are too large and do not function properly
Seek immediate emergency care (call 999 or go to A&E) if you experience symptoms of a severe allergic reaction after a B12 injection, such as difficulty breathing, facial or throat swelling, widespread rash, or dizziness
When symptoms do occur in the context of high B12, they are usually attributable to an underlying condition rather than the elevated vitamin itself
In controlled lab settings investigators have reported minimal acute toxicity during experimental protocols but researchers emphasize the importance of proper handling and safety protocols
Metabolization of vitamins varies widely amongst populations, as faster metabolizers clear the bloodstream quicker, necessitating shorter intervals for maintaining a consistent supply compared to their slower counterparts
