Vitamin B12 deficiencies can cause fatigue, poor concentration and a myriad of other symptoms. When the body is deficient in Vitamin B12, a chemical named Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) is produced. Use our Methylmalonic Acid Vitamin B12 Deficiency Urine Test to detect elevated MMA levels, and keep a B12 deficiency at bay.
What is Vitamin B12?
Also known as cobalamin, Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble compound that contributes to normal brain and central nervous system function. Red blood cell production can be stalled if the body detects a lack of Vitamin B12, leading to anemia and other disorders. A Vitamin B12 deficiency may cause irreversible immune damage if not detected early.
Disorders Associated With A Vitamin B12 Deficiency:
- Pernicious Anemia (Difficulty Absorbing B12)
- Atrophic Gastritis (Thinned Stomach Lining)
- Small Intestine Irregularities
- Immune System Disorders
- Veganism or Poor Diet
Since it is not naturally produced by the human body, Vitamin B12 is obtained through animal food sources, like meat, dairy and eggs. Adopting a vegan lifestyle can diminish bloodstream levels of B12 if not supplemented through foods like fortified cereals, nut milks and nutritional yeast.
Symptoms of A Vitamin B12 Deficiency May Include: - Weakness, Tiredness, Lightheadedness
- Heart Palpitations and/or Shortness of Breath
- Digestive/Bowel Problems
- Vision Impairment
