The reason is that the building blocks for good health come from a variety of foods, even if they are from the same family of nutrients. Such is the case with vitamin B, a key player in maintaining cell health and keeping you energized. Symptoms of a deficiency depend on what type of vitamin B you lack. They can range from fatigue and confusion to anemia or a compromised immune system. Skin rashes also can occur.
For example:
Vitamin B-12 deficiency may cause the following symptoms:
• Tingling in the feet and hands
• Extreme fatigue
• Weakness
• Irritability or depression
- Depression
- Confusion
- Nausea
- Anemia
- Susceptibility to infections
- Skin rashes (dermatitis)
A lack of niacin can cause:
• Digestive issues, such as nausea and abdominal cramps.
• Severe deficiency may also cause mental confusion.
Without enough folate can cause:
• Diarrhea
• Anemia.
• Pregnant women with a folate deficiency could give birth to babies with defects.
While most people who eat a varied diet get enough B vitamins from food, some people are at an increased risk of deficiency, particularly those who:
• Are over the age of 50
• Take prescription antacids
• Have celiac disease, Crohn's disease, gastritis, or other stomach or small intestine disorders
• Have had stomach or weight loss surgery
• Drink alcohol regularly
• Are vegetarian or vegan
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women may need more vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid.
One easy way to make sure that you get your daily dose of these important B vitamins is to take a B complex supplement such as:
