Description
B12 deficiency develops when the body does not have an adequate amount of B12 vitamins, which are an important nutrient and serve for general well-being

An essential vitamin yes but it often played second fiddle to vitamin C, D and Omega-3

In adults, especially those over 50, the ability to absorb B12 from food decreases

For many patients, this means an injection once a month, but some individuals may require injections every three months

Signs You May Have a B12 Deficiency B12 deficiency can cause a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, headaches, depression, pale or yellow skin, mental impairment, and pain and inflammation of the mouth and tongue

It doesn't replace a D-series code when anemia is diagnosed
