​

If you are currently taking heartburn, acid-reflux or GERD medications, the ability to produce B-12 is affected.  According to the Mayo Clinic, H-2-receptor blockers (cimetidine, famotidine and ranitidine) & Proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, esomeprazole and lansoprazole) specifically can block the production of B-12 in the Stomach, as sufficient stomach acid is required for proper B-12 absorption.  Additionally, if you suffer from anemia, you may be B-12 deficient.  Typically shots are given once per week, but can also be given as needed.

​

The methyl form of cobalamin is reported to be more bioavailable than cyanocobalamin, retained longer and in much higher quantities in tissues, and specifically works to repair nervous system issues.  As every aspect of physiology is dependent upon proper nerve conduction and health, a deficiency of this crucial vitamin may greatly affect your health.
