Years of malnutrition or malnutrition can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency, including a strictly vegetarian diet. Even the regular intake of low doses of vitamin B12 can prevent this deficiency and B12-ASmedic drops are intended for this purpose. Talk to your doctor or alternative practitioner about whether a preventive intake of vitamin B12 is recommended for you. Please also note that in the event of an existing vitamin B12 deficiency, high therapeutic dosage medications are required. (i.e. B12-ASmedic Amps.)
Together with folic acid, vitamin B12 plays a decisive role in blood formation. If one of the two is missing (usually vitamin B12), anaemia occurs. Anemia is an important sign of a possible vitamin B12 deficiency. Anemia is accompanied by pallor of the skin and mucous membranes, burning tongue, weakness, fatigue, lack of drive and dizziness.
In addition, the nervous system is built up with the help of vitamin B12. A lack of vitamin B12 can lead to a degenerative disease of the spinal cord. The signs of this disease are sensory disturbances, gait insecurity, muscle atrophy and muscle stiffness. Psychological disorders such as apathy, delusions, agitation, depression and disorders of memory and judgment may also occur.
Together with folic acid, vitamin B12 is involved in the breakdown of a substance, homocysteine, which is produced in a series of normal metabolic processes in every human being. However, if the concentration of homocysteine in the blood is too high, it poses an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
