The most common types of injectable vitamin B12 are cyanocobalamin and hydroxocobalamin:
- Cyanocobalamin
A synthetic form of vitamin B12 that’s commonly prescribed and considered stable.
- Hydroxocobalamin
A form of vitamin B12 that can be administered every three months because it’s retained in the body longer than cyanocobalamin.
- Methylcobalamin
A natural form of vitamin B12 that’s more bioactive than other forms and can be injected in higher doses. It’s also preservative-free.
Vitamin B12 injections are typically used to treat vitamin B12 deficiency caused by conditions like pernicious anemia, tropical sprue, and pancreatic insufficiency. Vitamin B12 is water soluble, so the body gets rid of any excess, and B12 injections are generally considered safe. Some patients have reported minor reactions, such as pain at the injection site.
Vitamin B12 is also available as a nasal gel spray.
