At the same time, B12 insufficiency in the liver leads to shrinking of the intestinal cells and malabsorption of nutrients (including B12 itself), leading to a cycle of worsening B12 deficiency
The effects of B12 injections typically last between 1 and 4 weeks
For more detailed scientific research on B12, the National Institutes of Health offers excellent resources
