The treatment is very safe, and excess B12 is simply excreted by the body
Key Research Insight: In murine models, SLU-PP-332 administration increased running distance by 70% and 45% compared to control groups, without any prior training
outside of a trial, long-term safety is still being characterised
Indications and Usage for B-12 Compliance Injection Cyanocobalamin is indicated for vitamin B12 deficiencies due to malabsorption which may be associated with the following conditions: Addisonian (pernicious) anemia Gastrointestinal pathology, dysfunction, or surgery, including gluten enteropathy or sprue, small bowel bacteria overgrowth, total or partial gastrectomy Fish tapeworm infestation Malignancy of pancreas or bowel Folic acid deficiency It may be possible to treat the underlying disease by surgical correction of anatomic lesions leading to small bowel bacterial overgrowth, expulsion of fish tapeworm, discontinuation of drugs leading to vitamin malabsorption (see DRUG INTERACTION), use of a gluten-free diet in nontropical sprue, or administration of antibiotics in tropical sprue
A 2016 review of 2 randomized clinical trials and 3 prospective studies concluded that oral B12 at 1,000 mcg a day was a safe and effective alternative to intramuscular injections
