Are You Suffering from a Vitamin B12 Deficiency?

One vitamin that plays an essential role in the healthy function of red blood cell production, DNA and the nervous system, but is frequently overlooked by physicians, is vitamin B-12. Many people are unaware the health symptoms they are experiencing are due to a deficiency of Vitamin B-12, or cobalamin.

13 Signs and Symptoms of Vitamin B-12 Deficiency:

  1. Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
  2. Difficulty walking
  3. Pale or jaundiced skin
  4. Difficulty walking
  5. Fatigue and/or weakness
  6. Lightheadedness
  7. Fast heart rate
  8. Shortness of breath
  9. Cognitive issues such as irritability, depression, or memory loss
  10. Weakened immune system, frequent illness
  11. A smooth tongue
  12. Vision loss
  13. Digestive issues including gas, constipation, diarrhea, or loss of appetite

What is Vitamin B-12 and Why is it Important to Our Health?

Vitamin B-12 is a water-soluble essential nutrient that is critical for DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, neurological function, nerve cell health and energy production. Many of the symptoms of vitamin B-12 deficiency is due to the lack of healthy red blood cell production. Without a sufficient supply of healthy red blood cells your body cannot transport oxygen, and without adequate levels of oxygen, your body is unable to keep your organs healthy.

Additionally, vitamin B-12 supports the production of myelin which protects your nerves, keeping your nervous system functioning optimally.

Diagnosing a Vitamin B-12 Deficiency

Our bodies do not produce vitamin B-12 so we must get our B-12 from the foods we eat such as red meat, fish, chicken, eggs and dairy. It can take years to develop symptoms due to a deficiency of vitamin B-12 and it is frequently misdiagnosed by physicians as a folate deficiency. As we age, it becomes more difficult to absorb vitamin B-12.

The experts at the Anti-Aging and Wellness Clinic will perform a comprehensive laboratory test that will include measuring your vitamin B levels.

Conditions That Can Increase the Risk of Vitamin B12 Deficiency

  • Age
  • Smoking
  • Alcohol abuse
  • A vegetarian or vegan diet
  • Taking antacid medications
  • Weight loss surgery
  • Atrophic gastritis
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Celiac disease
  • Pernicious anemia

Vitamin B12 Injections from the Anti-Aging and Wellness Clinic

People who do not absorb vitamin B-12 may need vitamin B-12 injections to treat their deficiency. Vitamin B-12 injections contain a synthetic form of vitamin B-12 called cyanocobalamin. Vitamin B-12 given by injection bypasses the stomach and is absorbed directly into the bloodstream making it a better option than oral supplements. These shots can be self-administered at home and can boost B-12 levels quickly.

Visit the Anti-Aging and Wellness Clinic to learn if you can benefit from vitamin B-12 injections.
