A mismatch between what the patient shows and what the total B12 says is itself a reason to test further
long-term human data is limited
B12 has many functions in our body, so unfortunately a deficiency will give rise to a wide variety of symptoms, like brain fog, memory problems, cognitive impairment, insomnia, headaches, especially migraine, behavioural changes, learning problems, nominal aphasia, mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety, hallucinations, delusions, psychosis, peripheral paraesthesia (pins and needles), numbness, neuropathic pains, poor balance, reduced vibration sense or proprioception (joint position sense), tinnitus, ataxia, taste impairment, sometimes myelopathy, fatigue, anaemia (either with larger red blood cells, or with normal size of the red blood cells when there is also iron deficiency), other reduction in blood cells, abdominal complaints, malabsorption, failure to thrive, weight loss, diarrhoea, hyperpigmentation, glossitis, (aphthous) stomatitis, infertility, urinary tract infections, joint and muscle pain, muscle weakness, spasticity, seizures, cardiomyopathy, urinary and/or faecal incontinence, postural hypotension/dizziness, erectile dysfunction, to name a few

Key factors to consider during assessment include: Duration and severity of symptoms Presence of underlying conditions that may affect B12 absorption Previous treatments or supplements that may influence B12 status Choosing Between Oral and Injectable Forms The choice between oral and injectable B12 depends on several factors
