I've been told by my doctor that I have a deficiency in B12 and Vitamin D. They've recommended B12 ME12 injection shots for me. I'm a bit concerned and curious about whether it's really safe for me to go with the B12 shots, or if taking a capsule could be a better option instead. Can you help me understand the differences or what might be best for me?

B12 injections like ME-12 are effective for quickly raising levels, especially if your deficiency is significant or absorption is an issue. Capsules can also work if your body absorbs them well, but injections may be recommended for faster results. Always follow your doctor's advice for the best approach.

Can be taken If weakness persist then visit physician

Is there any truth to that? I'm really curious to know if using a copper bottle is actually beneficial or if I should be cautious. Would love some guidance!
While copper water bottles have been touted for their potential health benefits, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, excessive copper consumption can indeed cause health issues, including infertility, liver damage, and other problems; the Indian government's guidelines recommend using copper vessels that are coated with a layer of tin or silver to prevent copper toxicity, and drinking water stored in copper vessels for 8-12 hours is considered safe,
