SUMMARY
Rasayanam.in
7
B12 deficiency is extremely common, particularly
among Indians. Because B12 is commonly found in
animal products, strict vegetarians are more likely to
be deficient in B12. B12 is involved in many bodily
functions. Fatigue, weakness, memory problems, and
irritability are all symptoms of deficiency. Taking
supplements, particularly plant-based supplements, is
one of the best ways to supplement B12 deficiency.
