Diseases of the blood and hematopoietic system (haematological)
With a positive Castel factor, does it make sense to take vitamin B12 tablets, e.g. Energamma, or is it better to inject it?

Castle's intrinsic factor is a glycoprotein produced by the parietal cells of the stomach. The presence of the agent and the absence of antibodies directed against the agent indicate proper absorption of vitamin B12 from the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract.
The decision on the treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency (using the form of tablets or injections) should be made after consultation with a doctor. On the basis of the patient's medical history, as well as the effectiveness of the therapy conducted so far, the doctor will recommend the appropriate therapeutic treatment for you. You can also take advantage of a teleconsultation via e.g. the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

If you have an insufficient supply of vitamin B12 from food, you can use one of the dietary supplements available in online and stationary pharmacies until the consultation. Choosing the offer of an online pharmacy allows you to compare prices and order the preparation with home delivery or personal collection at the pharmacy, such as:
