Vitamin B12

December 7th 2006 17:03
Vitamin B12 plays an important role in red blood cell formation. This is why deficiency leads to an oxygen-transport problem that is known as pernicious anemia. This disorder can cause mood swings, paranoia, irritability, confusion, dementia, hallucinations and mania. These symptoms are eventually followed by appetite loss, dizziness, weakness, shortage of breath, heart palpitations, diarrhea and tingling sensations in all extremities. A B12 deficiency takes a lot of time to develop because the body uses the liver to store a 3 to 5 year supply of this vitamin. Usually deficiencies occur when B12 cannot be absorbed in the intestinal tract. This is especially true for older people.
