Preclinical studies have demonstrated no significant toxicity even at doses far exceeding therapeutic ranges
human clinical safety remains insufficiently characterized
Common signs of B12 deficiency include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, difficulty maintaining balance, and cognitive issues like memory problems
This function has made it an important area of investigation within toxicology and metabolic research
