Individuals with a faster metabolic rate may burn through their B12 reserves more quickly, while those with a slower metabolism might retain the vitamin for a longer period
Encapsulation may also reduce compound degradation during storage, offering extended shelf life compared to reconstituted solutions
For example, if you are taking chloramphenicol, an antibiotic, it could interfere with the blood-building response to the B injection
