Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential micronutrient that plays a crucial role in several bodily functions. Since the human body cannot produce Vitamin B12 on its own, it must be obtained from food or supplements.

Why is Vitamin B12 Important?

• DNA Production – Essential for healthy cell growth and repair
• Brain and Nerve Function – Supports the nervous system and cognitive function
• Red Blood Cell Formation Prevents anaemia and improves oxygen circulation

A lack of Vitamin B12 can lead to various symptoms, including:

Physical Symptoms

• Persistent fatigue and low energy levels
• Weakness or dizziness
• Shortness of breath
• Pale or yellow skin

Neurological Symptoms

• Poor memory and reduced concentration
• Pins and needles or numbness in hands and feet
• Low mood and irritability

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, a Vitamin B12 injection may help restore your levels and improve your overall health.

Vitamin B12 is naturally found in foods such as meat, poultry, eggs, fish, and dairy products. Some people may struggle to absorb enough B12 due to:

Common Causes of Vitamin B12 Deficiency

• Dietary Factors – A vegetarian or vegan diet may lead to a deficiency
• Medical Conditions – Digestive disorders such as coeliac disease or Crohn’s disease can impair B12 absorption
• Medications – Certain medications can interfere with Vitamin B12 levels
• Ageing – Older adults may have difficulty absorbing B12 due to stomach acid decline
• Pernicious Anaemia – A condition that prevents the body from absorbing Vitamin B12 properly
