Vitamin B12 is a vital nutrient that plays a crucial role in several body functions, including the production of red blood cells, the functioning of the nervous system, the production of DNA, and the maintenance of a healthy immune system. A deficiency of vitamin B12 can result in several complications, including anemia, nerve damage, and even neurological disorders.
The body cannot produce Vitamin B12 on its own, and therefore it must be obtained from dietary sources. Animal-based products such as meat, fish, dairy, and eggs are excellent sources of Vitamin B12. For people following a vegan or vegetarian diet, plant-based foods fortified with Vitamin B12 or supplements are recommended.
The absorption of Vitamin B12 in the body is a complex process that involves several steps. Vitamin B12 is initially released from food in the stomach and then binds to a protein called Intrinsic Factor, which helps transport it to the small intestine. In the small intestine, Vitamin B12 is then absorbed into the bloodstream and transported throughout the body, where it is utilized for various functions.
Several factors can cause a Vitamin B12 deficiency, including inadequate intake of dietary sources of Vitamin B12, malabsorption, gastrointestinal surgery, or certain medical conditions that affect the absorption of Vitamin B12. Additionally, some medications, such as those used to treat acid reflux or diabetes, can interfere with Vitamin B12 absorption.
A Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause a range of symptoms that can be mild to severe. Some of the common symptoms include:
If left untreated, a Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to serious complications such as anemia, neurological damage, and even dementia.
A vitamin B12 deficiency test is recommended for individuals who are experiencing symptoms of deficiency or are at higher risk for deficiency, such as those following a vegan or vegetarian diet or with gastrointestinal surgery. Additionally, anyone who wants to be proactive about their health can take a vitamin B12 deficiency test. By monitoring your B12 levels, you can take steps to prevent potential health issues and ensure that you are meeting your nutritional needs. It’s always a good idea to discuss any concerns or questions about testing with a healthcare provider.
The World Health Organization has established the normal reference range for Vitamin B12 levels as a minimum of 150 pmol/L. A value lower than this range indicates a Vitamin B12 deficiency. However, the interpretation of the results should be done in consultation with a healthcare provider, as several factors can influence the levels of Vitamin B12 in the body.
In recent years, more attention has been paid to this vitamin because many people have been found to be vitamin B12 deficient.
There can be many different causes underlying a vitamin B12 deficiency.
If you eat too few foods containing vitamin B12, you may become deficient. Inflammation of the stomach lining, alcohol, taking certain medications or using nitrous oxide can also contribute to vitamin B12 deficiency. Finally, it is also possible that the stomach or intestines may not absorb B12 properly.
The normal value established by the WHO (World Health Organization) sets a minimum value of 150 pmol/L. A value below 150 pmol/L indicates vitamin B12 deficiency. There are also people with low values who do not experience any symptoms.
The Easly vitamin B12 self-test measures the concentration of vitamin B12 in the blood with a finger prick.
Vitamin B12 is needed for the blood and nerves. Too little vitamin B12 in the body can cause symptoms such as numb fingers and toes, tingling, balance problems or making precise movements.
