Hello, You should have a vit. b12 blood test and a cbc and a serum folate level done before deciding what to do. Taking nutrients you don't need can cause problems. I know these injections are quite popular, but medicine today is focusing on personalized medicine. Therefore, the composition of your injection should depend on the nutrient needs of your body.
