Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods as well as available as a dietary supplement and also as prescription medicine.

Vitamin B12 is required for the proper formation of red blood cells in the body, neurological function, food digestion and metabolism, stable mood, maintenance of good energy levels and general well-being.

Other symptoms of B12 Deficiency include Fatigue, faintness, headaches, pale skin, loss of appetite, weight loss, pins and needles, and a painful, red tongue. Pernicious anaemia, an autoimmune disease, is one of the primary reasons.
