1. Increased absorption: When taken orally, B12 must go through the digestive process, which can decrease its effectiveness. Injections deliver the vitamin directly into the bloodstream, bypassing any digestive issues.
2. Faster onset of action:
Injections deliver B12 directly into the bloodstream, meaning you will notice a quicker onset of positive effects than an oral dose. If higher doses are required, this is much easier to do via injection than orally.
