How to Convert 65 MCG of Vitamin B12 to an Injectable Dose

Vitamin B12 is essential for the human body when it comes to fighting stress, fatigue and memory loss. It also plays a vital role in the designing of genetic traits by helping in the manufacture of genetic material and development of a number of parts of the nervous system. Vitamin B12 controls the levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that at higher levels damages the lining of blood vessels and promotes the formation of thrombus in them. Excessively deficient levels of vitamin B12 in the body may result in the development of heart disease and Alzheimer's disease. Sometimes it is the urgency of the Vitamin B12 requirement that demands the administration of vitamin B12 though the intramuscular route to obtain a prompt retrieval.
