One thing it can\u2019t do is make vitamin B12. Together with folate, vitamin B12 is essential to the synthesis of DNA and red blood cells. It also plays a role in the production of the myelin sheath that surrounds nerves as well as the conduction of nerve impulses. Vitamin B12 deficiency can be detected with a blood test at your doctor\u2019s office and treated with B12 injections in Richardson.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Common Symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiency<\/h2>\n<p>Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency sometimes look like the signs of other serious health issues, including Alzheimer\u2019s, dementia, multiple sclerosis, and several mental illnesses.

And because the body doesn\u2019t store vitamin B12 for long, you must supply it on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>You cannot get this vitamin from plant-based products, but only from animal sources such as dairy products, eggs, fish, meat, and poultry. Therefore, people on vegetarian or vegan diets need to be especially aware of the signs of vitamin B12 deficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Other groups of people who have a higher risk include people over age 60, people on certain medications for diabetes, people with Crohn\u2019s disease, celiac, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome and women with a history of infertility or miscarriage.<\/p>\n<h2>Treating Vitamin B12 Deficiency<\/h2>\n<p>If possible, the best way to boost your intake of B12 is through healthy eating. Some foods that are rich in this vitamin include liver, clams, oysters, lamb, beef, eggs and cheese.<\/p>\n<p>If supplements are necessary, then consider B12 injections in Richardson. With the correct dosage and length of treatment, injections may help maintain good brain function and decrease mental degeneration that can happen with aging.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.richardsonpainandwellness.com\/contact.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seek help immediately\u00a0<\/a>if you are experiencing any of the signs of vitamin B12 deficiency mentioned above.
