[sophiayoung]

Vitamin B12 deficiency occurs when the body does not obtain or absorb enough vitamin B12 from the foods it needs to function properly. Vitamin B12 is an important nutrient that helps the body produce red blood cells and DNA, the genetic material of all cells. If left untreated, vitamin B12 deficiency can cause physical, neurological, and psychological problems.

Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia occurs when the body does not produce enough healthy red blood cells due to a vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the production of red blood cells. Therefore, a vitamin B12 deficiency can cause anemia. It is possible to have a vitamin B12 deficiency without suffering from anemia.

Diagnosing vitamin B12 deficiency can be difficult because the symptoms are not always present or can mimic those of other nutritional deficiencies. Healthcare providers often perform routine blood tests to detect vitamin B12 deficiency in people at high risk of developing it.
