Vitamin B12 is a vital ingredient for our bodies, so Vitamin B12 deficiency leads to a number of problems and symptoms. The deficiency is very common and it is estimated that nearly 40% of North Americans suffer from it.

Some of them suffer from fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue. Other symptoms of deficiency are anemia, depression, lack of concentration, neuropathy, strange sensations, tingling at the extremities, balance problems, paranoia, hallucinations and inflammation.

Doctors can quickly find out if there is such a deficiency with a simple test that includes an intracellular test because the effects of vitamin take place in cells.

Vitamin B12 is mainly found in meat, and plant sources are rare. Other causes include gut flora, cytostatic treatment, and an autoimmune condition where the system attacks the stomach cells that produce acid and an important protein. Also, burn treatments affect vitamin B12 levels.

There are some simple ways to keep the B12 level up. The first, most obvious, is to eat more meat, but also dairy products. The absorption of B12 in the body can also be achieved with probiotics that enrich the intestinal flora. Another recommendation is the reduction of low-quality foods and those that lead to inflammation, such as margarine, wheat and other cereals, additives, artificial sweeteners, sugar and iodized salt. Those with vitamin B12 deficiency can also take supplements.
