Because the body cannot make B12 on its own, it has to come from food (meat, fish, eggs, dairy) or from supplements

This emphasizes the significant role of vitamin B12 in DNA synthesis, myelin sheath maintenance, and cell metabolism, underscoring its essential contribution to promoting good health
Vitamin B12 Injection Dose for Children For children with vitamin B12 deficiency, an initial dose of 0.2 mcg/kg injected into the muscle or under the skin daily for 2 days, followed by daily 1000 mcg injections for 2-7 days, then weekly 100 mcg injections for 4 weeks, may be recommended
