AARP Members: How to recognize Vitamin B12 deficiencies. | 100

If you are taking needle injections of vitamin B12 you need to consider looking at Sub-lingual Vitamin B12. You especially need this information if your are a senior (mature) or are a vegetarian. Deficiency of Vitamin B12 can lead to very serious health issues. A lot of people are unaware that they are deficient in B12 and will eventually need treatment. If you are suffering from fatigue, constipation, loss of appetite and weight loss you may be suffering from deficiency of Vitamin B12. Currently most doctors and physicians rely on the invasive shots of B12. Because of the low absorbsion rate of the vitamin B12 tablets is only 1 percent. That’s not very good.

Vitamin B12 aids red blood cell production. Without vitamin B12 the red blood cells become abnormally large and pale and don’t function properly. Deficiency can also cause irreversible neurological nerve and brain damage. A sign of this would be numbness and tingling of the arms and legs, poor balance control and difficulty in walking, memory loss, depression and reduced mental capacity. Low B12 intake can lead to blood and metabolic problems, particularly in lactating mothers or diabetics: pernicious anemia, neurological disorders, problems in fat metabolism and red blood cell synthesis. Many vegetarians may not be getting adequate amounts of cyanocobalamin B12.
