Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin critical to several body functions, such as energy production, nerve function, and red blood cell formation
For instance, atrophic gastritis reduces stomach acid necessary for releasing B from food proteins
Cyanocobalamin is an active, easily absorbable form of B12 that corrects deficiencies and supports vital biological functions: nerve health, red blood cell formation, cell metabolism, and DNA synthesis
These pleiotropic effects partially explain the opioid-sparing benefits observed in enhanced recovery surgical protocols and have spurred investigations into continuous perioperative infusions
Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D injections can be a valuable addition, especially if you have experienced deficiencies or are seeking to enhance your energy and mood
