2. Forgetfulness
Do you often have a hard time remembering ordinary things like where have you put your keys, or what’s the name of your friend? Well, this type of uncharacteristic forgetfulness doesn’t necessarily indicate early dementia, but it can mean lack of vitamin B12, especially if it’s chronic. Many older people think they have Alzheimer’s or dementia when they actually have vitamin B12 deficiency. You can check this by doing a simple blood test, and improve your memory with a supplemental regimen.
3. Muscle Weakness
If your muscles are weak so your grocery bags feel like thousand pounds, they are probably deprived of the proper amount of oxygen from erythrocytes. Improper oxygenation to muscle cells and vitamin B12 deficiency can cause uncharacteristic muscle weakness and sluggishness. This might be the reason why you’re no longer able to carry your gym bag or heavy purse.
4. Pale Skin
You used to have those rosy cheeks that revealed your perfect health, but now you’re pale with a yellow cast. This might be caused by lack of vitamin B12 which means lack of erythrocytes. As a result, your body produces more bilirubin which replaces that rosy complexion with a pale visage.
5. Pins and Needles
Insufficient amounts of this vitamin can cause paraesthesia – more known as pins and needles. You experience tingling, prickling, or numbing sensation throughout the body, especially in the hands and feet, and a feeling of electric shock waves because of the nerve damage caused by lack of vitamin B12. Being deficient in this vitamin means reduced production of erythrocytes which in turn results in low oxygen levels in the nerve tissues.
