And its not surprising that a deficiency can cause significant health issues
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, plays a crucial role in: Red blood cell production Nerve function DNA synthesis Energy production and metabolism A deficiency in Vitamin B12 can lead to fatigue, anemia, nerve damage, and cognitive issues
Have a look at the list below and see if any of it sounds familiar: Have had a blood test confirming low B12 levels Have a condition like pernicious anaemia that affects B12 absorption Follow a vegan or plant-based diet without consistent supplementation Have tried oral B12 but still feel symptoms havent shifted Are experiencing persistent fatigue, leg weakness, or neurological symptoms If any of these apply to you, b12 injections for tiredness and weakness could be exactly what your body needs right now

Other malabsorption causes include: Atrophic gastritis and reduced gastric acid production (common in older adults) Gastrointestinal surgery, particularly gastrectomy, ileal resection, or bariatric surgery (especially gastric bypass) Inflammatory bowel disease affecting the terminal ileum (Crohn's disease) Coeliac disease and other small bowel disorders Chronic pancreatitis affecting enzyme secretion Helicobacter pylori infection (may contribute to reduced absorption) Medication-related deficiency is increasingly recognised
