B12 has many functions in our body, so unfortunately a deficiency will give rise to a wide variety of symptoms, like brain fog, memory problems, cognitive impairment, insomnia, headaches, especially migraine, behavioural changes, learning problems, nominal aphasia, mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety, hallucinations, delusions, psychosis, peripheral paraesthesia (pins and needles), numbness, neuropathic pains, poor balance, reduced vibration sense or proprioception (joint position sense), tinnitus, ataxia, taste impairment, sometimes myelopathy, fatigue, anaemia (either with larger red blood cells, or with normal size of the red blood cells when there is also iron deficiency), other reduction in blood cells, abdominal complaints, malabsorption, failure to thrive, weight loss, diarrhoea, hyperpigmentation, glossitis, (aphthous) stomatitis, infertility, urinary tract infections, joint and muscle pain, muscle weakness, spasticity, seizures, cardiomyopathy, urinary and/or faecal incontinence, postural hypotension/dizziness, erectile dysfunction, to name a few

Q: Can I get too much B12 from injections
Why Standard Tests Can Be Misleading This brings up a critical point that resonates with so many people who feel their symptoms are being dismissed
This depends on the dose and frequency: 5mg vial: At 5mg 3x/week = less than 1 week (single dose per vial) At 5mg 2x/week = less than 1 week 10mg vial: At 5mg 3x/week = ~2.3 days (2 doses per vial) At 5mg 2x/week = 3.5 days (2 doses per vial) At 10mg 2x/week = 1 dose per vial MOTS-C is consumed faster than most peptides due to the higher per-dose amounts
