I'm curious about how many doses of the Vitcofol injection it usually takes to see results for a B12 deficiency. My doctor prescribed me 5 doses along with a B29 tablet, but I'm wondering if this is standard or if I should expect to see improvements sooner. Can anyone share insights or experiences with this treatment?
