  1. B12 DEFICIENCY - Why It Matters! THE HERBAL DOCTORS PRESENT!

  2. INTRODUCTION Once nearly unheard of in "wealthy" countries this deficiency was relegated primarily to third world countries - due to diet. Now Vitamin B12 deficiency is firmly on the radar of the medical establishment. Skyrocketing rates in the wealthier countries and reaching 50% in certain sub-dietary categories. And why does B12 matter?

  3. The Energy Vitamin! Vitamin B12 is a powerhouse. It helps make DNA, nerve and blood cells, and is crucial for a healthy brain and immune system. Your metabolism wouldn't run smoothly without it.But B12 isn't like other vitamins. It's only found in animal products like eggs, meat, shellfish, and dairy. Up to 15% of people don't get enough B12, and they're more likely to be vegetarians.

  4. Adults Over 50 Are At Risk As you age, your stomach produces less acid, and stomach acid is key for B12 absorption, says Middleberg. About one in 31 adults over 50 are deficient, estimates the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Older individuals also often have poorer appetites and food intakes, and they may be on medications.

  5. Early Symptoms Are Fatigue & Weakness! B12 isn't nicknamed the energy vitamin for nothing. Inadequate B12 intake makes a dent in red blood cell production, and some of the earliest signs of a deficiency include feeling dragged, confused, and weak. If these symptoms hit and stick around for weeks, it's best to consult your doctor and rule out other causes.

  6. Linked To Immune System Issues! B12 plays an important role in white blood cell production, and white blood cells are essential for proper immune system functioning. Not only can a lack of B12 lower your immunity, some immune system disorders can increase your likelihood of becoming deficient.

  7. Might Cause Permanent Damage! Vitamin B12 deficiency that persists for years can cause severe, irreversible neurologic damage—think memory loss, disorientation, and an inability to concentrate. Other permanent side effects include nerve damage, insomnia, erectile dysfunction, even difficulty with bowel and bladder control.
