3 sneaky symptoms that might mean you're B12 deficient

3 ​Sneaky ​Symptoms You're ​B12 ​Deficient.

SYMPTOM ONE: You're ​tired. ​

I ​mean, ​dog ​sleeping ​by ​the ​fire, ​even ​though ​there ​is ​delicious ​unattended ​food ​nearby tired.

​Exactly… ​that tired.

B12 ​is ​crucial ​for ​energy ​production ​in ​the ​body. ​

If ​you're ​getting ​enough ​sleep and ​still ​are "​dog ​ass" ​tired, ​your ​low ​B12 ​might ​be ​the ​culprit.

SYMPTOM TWO: You're Buzzing. ​

Medically ​speaking, ​you ​have ​peripheral ​neuropathy.

​Maybe that means you're experiencing ​tingling and / or numbness.

​​B12 ​helps ​produce ​myelin ​in ​the ​body. ​

This ​is ​the ​fatty ​insulation ​that ​surrounds ​your ​nerve ​cells. ​

If ​it's ​missing, ​then ​your ​neurons ​aren't ​conducting ​signals ​effectively. Ouch.

SYMPTOM THREE: You're Confused, Forgetting Things.

You know the questions.

Why ​did ​you ​come ​in ​this ​room?

​How ​did ​you ​get ​here? ​

What ​were ​you ​supposed ​to ​get ​at ​this ​store? ​

What ​was ​it ​so ​and ​so ​said ​to ​you ​yesterday ​that ​you ​promised ​you'd ​pass ​along?

​Is ​today ​the ​day ​your ​sister ​is ​coming ​to ​visit?

​If ​you're ​feeling ​like ​a ​lot ​of ​your ​daily ​life ​is ​a ​big ​mystery, ​it ​might ​be ​your ​brain ​begging ​for ​B12. ​

Yes, ​there ​are ​other ​reasons ​for ​this, ​including ​our ​lowered ​attention ​spans ​due ​to ​scrolling, ​but ​stay ​with ​me ​for ​one ​more ​moment. ​

You're ​likely ​to ​be ​B12 ​deficient ​if ​you're:

• ​over ​35

• ​pregnant

• vegetarian

• vegan

• ​missing ​any ​part ​of ​your ​gut

• any part of your digestive system is ​not ​functioning ​or ​inflamed

• a ​host ​to ​tapeworms ​

• dealing with any kind of liver issue, or

• or if you've been ​on ​antibiotics

​It's ​hard ​to ​get ​enough ​B12 ​from ​food, ​especially ​as ​we ​age, ​because ​we ​don't ​absorb ​it ​as ​well ​as ​when ​we ​were ​young.

Plus ​30% ​or ​more ​is ​destroyed ​by ​cooking.

​And ​since ​the ​best ​sources ​come ​from ​meat, ​it's ​a ​problem.

So... simply bypass ​all ​of ​that ​and ​just ​come ​in ​for ​a B12 ​injection.
