Vitamin B12 forte-Hevert injekt

Vitamin B12 is produced and stored primarily in the liver. As a catalyst, Vitamin B12 plays a key role in carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism and protein synthesis. Nerve cell function and the formation of red blood cells (erythropoiesis) in particular are dependent on a good supply of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 deficiency primarily affects blood-forming tissue, but the nervous system is affected as well, because vitamin B12 is partially responsible for the formation of myelin sheaths in the nervous system. In cases of clinical deficiency, usually due to insufficient absorption of vitamin B12, such as after resection of extensive portions of the small intestine and small intestine irritation (dysbiosis of the intestine), the absorption area is reduced or blocked. This can also occur in diverticulitis, blind-loop syndrome. However, vitamin B12 deficiency may also occur following pharmaceutical treatment with neomycin, colchicine, PAS sodium preparations, and in tapeworm infestation. Intrinsic factor deficiency may occur secondary to diseases of the gastric mucosa and following gastrectomy. Intrinsic factor is essential for the absorption of vitamin B12. Intrinsic factor deficiency is a common cause of vitamin B12 deficiency. After liver reserves have been depleted the following may occur: pernicious anemia, symptomatic psychoses and funicular spinal disease, which initially present in the form of paresthesia with a tingling sensation and poor muscle tone, accompanied by depressed moods. The parenteral administration of Vitamin B12 forte-Hevert injekt can rapidly and permanently eliminate the symptoms of disease caused by vitamin B12 deficiency.
