vitamin b12 deficiency symptoms

Vitamin b12 is a very important vitamin that ensures our brain and nervous system function properly. More importantly, it is crucial for red blood cell production. Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms usually show up in people that are not getting enough vitamin b12.

Where does this vitamin come from? Mainly meat, fish and diary products. Which is a real bummer for vegetarians because there are no vegetables that contain vitamin b12. As such, vegetarians are usually prone to exhibiting vitamin b12 deficiency symptoms along with the elderly. They usually have to take some form of supplements to satisfy their bodies need for vitamin b12.

On to the symptoms.

This is a list of all the main vitamin b12 deficiency symptoms:-

• Depression
• Lethargy
• Loss of Appetite
• Mood Swings
• Fibrillation
• Heart Palpitations
• Numbness
• Mental conditions - paranoia, hallucinations
• Insomnia

But by far the worst vitamin b12 deficiency symptom has to be anemia. Which is essentially a condition where your body is unable to produce enough red blood cells.

If you experience any vitamin b12 deficiency symptoms and you can't figure out why then you might want to pay your doctor a visit. If you are lacking in b12 then the doc will probably get you on some b12 supplements right away.

But from what i've heard, you'll mostly be getting vitamin b12 shots as it is the most effective method of delivery. Nasal sprays are also effective as well.
