Vitamin B12 deficiency, also known as cobalamin deficiency, is the medical condition of low blood and tissue levels of vitamin B12.[4] In mild deficiency, a person may feel tired and have a reduced number of red blood cells (anemia).[1] In moderate deficiency, soreness of the tongue, apthous ulcers, breathlessness, jaundice, hair loss and severe joint pain (arthralgia) and the beginning of neurological symptoms, including abnormal sensations such as pins and needles, numbness and tinnitus may occur.[1] Severe deficiency may include symptoms of reduced heart function as well as more severe neurological symptoms, including changes in reflexes, poor muscle function, memory problems, irritability, ataxia, decreased taste, decrease level of consciousness, depression, anxiety, guilt and psychosis.[1] Infertility may occur.[1][5] In young children, symptoms include poor growth, poor development, and difficulties with movement.[2] Without early treatment, some of the changes may be permanent.[6]
Causes are categorized as decreased absorption of vitamin B12 from the stomach or intestines, deficient intake, or increased requirements.[1] Decreased absorption may be due to atrophic gastritis pernicious anemia, surgical removal of the stomach, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, intestinal parasites, certain medications, and some genetic disorders.[1] Medications that may decrease absorption include proton pump inhibitors, H2-receptor blockers, and metformin.[7] Decreased intake may occur in vegetarians, vegans and the malnourished.[1][8] Increased requirements occur in people with HIV/AIDS, and in those with shortened red blood cell lifespan.[1] Diagnosis is typically based on blood levels of vitamin B12 below 120-180 pmol/L (170 to 250 pg/mL) in adults.[2] Elevated methylmalonic acid levels may also indicate a deficiency.[2] A type of anemia known as megaloblastic anemia is often but not always present.[2] Individuals with low or "marginal" vitamin B12 in the range of 148-221 pmol/L (200-300 pg/mL) may not have classic neurological or hematological signs or symptoms.[2]
Treatment consists of oral or injected vitamin B12 supplementation; initially in high daily doses, followed by less frequent lower doses as the condition improves.[3] If a reversible cause is found, that cause should be corrected if possible.[9] If no reversible cause is found, or when found it cannot be eliminated, lifelong vitamin B12 administration is usually recommended.[10] Vitamin B12 deficiency is preventable with supplements containing the vitamin which is recommended in pregnant vegetarians and vegans, and not harmful in others.[2] Risk of toxicity due to vitamin B12 is low.[2]
Vitamin B12 deficiency in the US and the UK is estimated to occur in about 6 percent of those under the age of 60, and 20 percent of those over the age of 60.[1] In Latin America, about 40 percent are estimated to be affected, and this may be as high as 80 percent in parts of Africa and Asia.[1] Marginal deficiency is much more common and may occur in up to 40% of Western populations.[2]
Lack of vitamin b12 can cause tingling in the hands and feet. But this tingling can also appear in other parts of the body? Has anyone experienced this?
Yes I do have all the symptoms now I take vitamin b12
@@reginaokwechime102 Thank you for your comment. I was really scared that it was something more serious. I am also taking vitamin b12 and I feel differences!!!
Yes tinkling feet hands and in my back had it for yrs
@@brendadrumm9451 For example, in my feet I feel permanently. But in other areas of the body, I don't always feel it. It's more temporary. I'm going to have tests, but everything indicates that it might be a vitamin b12 deficit because my heartbeat is also extremely high
Yeah! I get tingling feeling on my head and sometimes it feels like my hair roots are standing and feels like somebody hitting me with a rubber band on my head.
You have to ask for your “active” vitamin b12 levels to be checked in blood work. I self diagnosed this on my own. Taking this supplement has been a life changing experience. No restlessness, fatigue, depression or anxiety.
thanks so much!
What blood markers specifically?
Which supp you bought?😢
Yeah, my extreme pins and needles is gone ( I thought I was getting Morgallons disease with the sporatic burning creepy crawling feeling in any part of my body) and the restlessness where I felt like I was screaming inside, could not lie down, legs kicking every 30 seconds or so... no inner peace
I use Nannocelle activated B12 oral spray as my stomach does not seem to absorb B12.( my diet is good). I'm guessing it's being absorbed directly spraying it under my tongue?
Who else gets numbness in the face, twitching of left eyes and painful eyes that comes and goes?
Get numbness in my arms legs hands and feet and lips had blood test came back ok but have type 2 diabetes so could be nerve damage
Yes!!
Me
Check for MS pain in the eye is one big symptom
twitching eye and half of my face, I'll do a B12 test if not then a neurologist to check for Multiple sclorosis.

So why does B12 give me night sweats and then I stop and it stops does anyone know
What about small non painful palpitations in temples and in calves and legs sometime
This is exactly happening to me n doctors are not able to find out
important: regular proper exercise is required for proper vitamin ingestion. also the DRA is not the Optimal daily allowance, just saying.....

Good information
So nice of you
thanks for the information
Always welcome
@@MedicalCentric all symptoms

And many young people go to psychiatrist where prescription drugs are used rather than find the root cause like supplementing b vitamins in the active form to fix the imbalance vs drugs w side-effects.
I have all of these symptoms, and since it started happening with me, I feel like I'm gonna die. Is it because of depression? I try not to think about it, but it just comes up every time . I get soo scared that I start to cry .
Please stay strong, You will be fine with the right treatment.
Funny you should say that. I feel I'm going to die for over a year now.Just this sence of my body falling apart, and if I fall, literally or metaphysically, feeling I simply do not have the strength to get up again.
I'm on Nanocelle B12 now, from the chemist, spray under your tongue solution. Only one week so far, but I feel like I'm on the right track
I was the same way....I was so weak, short of breath, crying alot, tired...just asked my doctor to give me a shot just to see if it might help...I thought I was dying for sure.....and she gave me the shot and a few hours later I started to notice I felt HAPPY for the first time in months and now the next day I was able to stay up all day and clean my house , shop and do art work etc...I feel so amazing....I can't believe it worked so fast .....I am going to ask for monthly shots now....I hope she will agree....
@@artsylady3187 do you mind if I ask how you are now, 5 months on please? Also whether your GP agreed to the monthly shots?!
make sure you get vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin
thanks a lot
You are welcome
Can vitamin b12 also leads to hyperpigmentation on face and body???any can tell me😟
Yes. It can cause hyperpigmentation.
@@michyeoga ahh thanks.... but do you know the solution 🥺😭😭
I have serious hyperpigmentation too
Nice
Thanks for d information, But one thing I'm can't take B12 I does get sick, I will like to know why how come
Over 50% of the population has the MTHFR gene mutation which means you can't absorb normal B vitamins, when you purchase B vitamins you must purchase the methylated form. So when you look on Amazon look for methyl B complex

I was told I have this condition by my doctor yesterday. I have alot of those systems. Eye eyes are the worst and fatigue. How is everyone elce here.

Same mate, doctors are rubbish in the uk.

Lack of vitamin b12 can cause tingling in the hands and feet. But this tingling can also appear in other parts of the body?
Yes in the back and shoulder blades apart from that if I don't have b12 injection every 3 months I get palpitations feel dizzy sore mouth
@@brendadrumm9451 i hope the best for you💚
How long after supplement s can results be seen ?
6 months or more. Go get the shot works within days
@@SAMEntalhealth 24 hours after the shot and I feel SOOOOO much better....it is amazing...can't believe it.....I hope they will keep giving me the shots...because the pills did not work
My cat had a problem due to low B12 an injection from the vet sorted her out. Then on nought some tablets from Amazon dirt cheap that sorted it out you cant overose you just pee out any extra
Had a blood test and they said I have vitamin b12 deficiency.. and I've been slowly losing my hair for a couple months now. I need to see a dermatologist but I'm too afraid to ask my grandpa to take me to see one because he'll probably say it's natural for me to be losing my hair and just brush it off... And I've been like very depressed because of it. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but I've been losing vision in my right eye too
(I'm 17)
Why don’t you follow your doctor’s advice, before it’s too late? It might be solved via diet or regular injections of B12, depending on the cause.
Just ask your doctor the best supplements to take. Or get vitamins good quality, of vitamin b12
Have your symptoms gotten better? Do you take B12 vitamins?
My doctor told me to take 1000 over the counter B12, found out today through blood test. 17 is too young to be losing your hair unless it’s have alopecia; don’t mess with your eye sight, tell grandpa about your eyes. If he won’t listen, tell the school nurse, that is if you attend school.
Go back to doctor and ask to be tested for the intrinsic factor ( an enzyme in the stomach that you need to absorb b12) if this is missing you will need monthly injections.. if its not then take supplements or even better, try to get maximum b12 through your diet, but you may need extra by injection or high dose supplement at first to get those levels up
ok
I have all those symptoms
Me 2. I just took a B12 vitamin this morning and drank some beet juice and I feel the best I've felt in months
👏
Is upper back muscle pain is also the symptom of b12 deficiency,, i am suffering from the same since along
It could be because you are sitting way too long...
Me too

Do you felt stomach issues?? During b12 deficiency

@@learnsomething5090 What was your B12 level ?
@@Skybluewindcool I don't know
@@learnsomething5090 What is your symptomps ?
My B12 I was tested recently count 183 normal range 197-774 recently I have same symptoms feeling dizzy and sudden weakness I am very worried please advise
GET THE B12 SHOT......it helped me soooooooo much.....the pills don't absorb ....get the shot
183 is not normal and mine is 274 i am getting weird neurological symptoms 😢 now am pregnant i don't know what to do
Other countries consider a level below 550 as deficient. Here in the US they say anything below 200 is deficient. I have had so many symptoms I have barely been making it to work. Especially with the 24 hour a day dizziness. Take b12 and bring your levels up to at least 750 or more. You will feel a lot better. 1 in 5 people is misdiagnosed as having MS and of that 1 the majority have a b2 deficiency. Hope this helps!
May I add that you don’t need to eat meat to get b12!! Plants and soya milk has heaps of it
Exactly, I'm glad someone pointed it out 👌 Also tempeh, kimchi, sauerkraut, nori, water lentils (duckweed). Saguaro cactus fruit is packed with B12.
Soy is not a good option. Soy sounds great in theory but it's bad for human consumption. Esp. men.
@@shaungerald23 True about soy milk soy beans(edamame) But Fermented Soy like tempeh is perfectly fine for men.
@@ndjubilant8391 For me personally, I couldn't have it. It was causing sub-clinical hypothyroidism. Once I stopped consuming soy, the thyroid stopped acting up. So I don't trust any of it. Also had to stop consuming peanuts because those were the two main things that were causing issues.
@@Gra1i1ude only the meat source of B12 is optimal.
Every smart person knows that.
Sir My age 34 . I diagnosised my b12, 447 pg/ml. Should I take b12 supplement
