Vitamin B12 deficiency: Seven signs you could need supplements and these three foods
Vitamin B12 is important for many body processes, but if it is in short supply the body won’t make as many red blood cells, they will be abnormally large and won’t last for as long as they should.
If you do not have enough red blood cells your tissues and organs may not get enough oxygen and this can lead to the symptoms of anaemia.
According to Bupa, your body may lack vitamin B12 if the foods you eat don’t contain enough vitamin B12 - a common problem for vegetarians and vegans - or your body can’t absorb the vitamin - an immune condition called pernicious anaemia can cause this.
So what are the symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency anaemia?
Anaemia and anaemia caused by lack of vitamin B12 can result in seven symptoms according to Boots Web MD.
