Vitamin B12 Depot Hevert ampoules

Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin that fulfills numerous important functions in the body.It is involved in the construction of the genetic material DNA, in cell reproduction, in energy metabolism, in the protection of nerve cells and in the formation of red blood cells.A deficiency of vitamin B12 can therefore cause both physical and psychological symptoms.Possible causes of a vitamin B12 deficiency include intestinal diseases, inflammation of the stomach lining, certain medications, older age and a strict vegetarian or vegan diet.

The Vitamin B12 Depot Hevert ampoules help to quickly eliminate deficiency symptoms.On a physical level, these symptoms can include anemia, fatigue, loss of appetite, nerve pain, muscle tremors, impaired coordination, and tingling or numbness in the legs.On a psychological level, a vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to listlessness, depressive moods, poor concentration, nervousness and sleep disorders.

Vitamin B12 Depot Hevert contains high-dose hydroxocobalamin and is administered as an injection.This makes the vitamin quickly available and is more effective than vitamin B12 preparations in tablet form, which have to take a detour via the stomach and intestines.For a lasting effect, the application is usually carried out by a doctor or alternative practitioner in the form of an injection course over several weeks.

No prescription is required for this product.
