I'm currently taking tablets, supplements, and multivitamins, but I'm not seeing any improvement. Can you recommend an injection that could help boost my stamina?

Instead of relying solely on multivitamin tablets, consider consulting a healthcare professional about vitamin B12 injections, which can help boost energy levels and improve stamina, especially if you have a deficiency; however, it's essential to undergo a blood test to determine the underlying cause of your fatigue and rule out any underlying medical conditions that may require specific treatment.
