Everything You Know About B Vitamins

Cyanocobalamin

Men, you know about cyanocobalamin. It's vitamin B12! Well, a synthetic version of it. You'll be able to take this one as a tablet, liquid, or injection (if you're low in B12, obviously). Your risk of a B12 deficiency goes way, way up if you've got cancer or pernicious anemia. Malnutrition is another one, of course. Men, you can't have injections of this vitamin if you've got Leber's disease or cobalt allergies. You need to review your medical history with a doc before dealing with supplementing this vitamin. There are some points of concern. They're things like a history of heart disease, gout, diabetes, and bleeding conditions. Ulcerative colitis is another one! Your doc's got to make sure you'll be safe with cyanocobalamin injections and such. Obviously.

Expect side effects from the injections and supplements of this vitamin, men. The examples? Things like itching, joint pain, diarrhea, nausea, and headaches. The injections carry specific side effects too, like swelling, pain, and redness where the shot went in. Two others are fever and swelling spreading over more of your body. Men, keep a sharp eye out. You've got to report any side effects to your doc!
