Vitamin B12 deficiency occurs when the body lacks a sufficient amount of vitamin B12 to maintain normal physiological functions. Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is essential for various processes in the body, including the formation of red blood cells, neurological function, and DNA synthesis.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause two main types of health issues: anemia and damage to the nervous system. When there's not enough vitamin B12 in the body, it can lead to a decrease in the production of healthy red blood cells, resulting in a condition called anemia.
Symptoms are rare but can include fatigue, breathlessness, numbness, poor balance and memory trouble. Treatment includes dietary changes, B12 shots or supplements.
