Frequently asked questions
What is Zecoba 1500mcg Injection?
Zecoba 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, an essential nutrient for the body. It plays a crucial role in producing red blood cells, maintaining a healthy nervous system, and facilitating energy release from food. Vitamin B12 also works with vitamin B11 (folic acid) for optimal function.
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 from my diet?
Vitamin B12 is typically obtained from animal sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Individuals following vegetarian or vegan diets may have difficulty obtaining adequate vitamin B12 since it is not naturally found in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, deficiency in vitamin B12 is more common in these groups.
What happens if I develop vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to a range of symptoms. These may include tiredness, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition marked by abnormally large red blood cells). It also can result in nerve problems such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Other potential signs of B12 deficiency include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, memory impairment, mouth or tongue soreness.
