Exploring Vitamin B12
Embark on a comprehensive journey into the world of Vitamin B12, also known as Cyanocobalamin, a synthetic form essential for human health. Your body utilizes B12 for the creation of red blood cells, nerve maintenance, DNA synthesis, and protein production. It also plays a crucial role in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Although our bodies cannot produce B12, it can be sourced from dietary items like dairy, meat, and fish. Our course provides a balanced mix of theoretical knowledge and practical skills related to B12 injections.
