From Dr Mercola's article, he wrote :
Low Vitamin B12 Symptoms Not so Unrelated After All
The list of symptoms that could be placed on a B12 deficiency's proverbial doorstep is a long one, but many symptoms are associated with your central nervous system. Too little B12 in your system might also resonate if you've experienced poor vision, weakness, tingling in your hands or feet and incidences of "clumsiness." Eight common signs that indicate low B12 levels are:
FatigueAnemiaNauseaDigestive issuesWeaknessSkin infectionsMental confusionNerve problems
But it's also important to understand that several areas of the body can be adversely affected with a vitamin B12 deficiency, and that while many of the symptoms may seem unrelated, as the saying goes, one thing often leads to another.
Some other key points highlighted in the article:-
WHAT B12 DOES
-keep your nervous system healthy
-make DNA
-to produce red blood cells
Therefore B12 deficiency can lead to nervous system challenge, DNA stress, and situations relating to low oxygenation, as it is the red blood cell that transports oxygen.
GROUPS AT-RISK for B12 deficiencies
-vegans and vegetarians (B12 is derived from animal products)
-older adults
-people with gastrointestinal and malabsorption issues
-those on metformin (for diabetes)
