It occurs when the medication disrupts the natural balance of microorganisms in the mouth, allowing yeast to overgrow
What are the risks
The cyanocobalamin component of the injection may interact with certain medications that affect vitamin B12 absorption or metabolism
It stimulates the synthesis of key extracellular matrix components while neutralizing reactive oxygen species, restoring firmness and reducing oxidative damage that accelerates visible and molecular aging
For example, in 2015, a randomized clinical trial of elderly men with sarcopenia found that 15g of daily collagen peptide supplementation, in combination with resistance training, led to improvements in multiple parameters: muscle strength, fat mass, and fat-free mass.40 For another example, a 2023 study of subjects with ultrasound-confirmed musculoskeletal inflammation concluded that locally injected collagen peptides could effectively and safely treat collateral ligament pain, indicating positive implications for physical recovery.41 It isnt clear how collagen compares to other peptides in facilitating these outcomes, as head-to-head studies arent available
