Vitamin B12 is essential for healthy blood cells, nerve function, and normal brain function. Deficiency may develop gradually and can cause fatigue, numbness or tingling, balance problems, memory difficulties, depression, or anemia.

Vitamin B12 deficiency may result from dietary factors, certain medications, autoimmune conditions such as pernicious anemia, or disorders affecting absorption within the gastrointestinal tract.

Our evaluation identifies the underlying cause whenever possible and guides appropriate treatment. Depending upon the severity of deficiency, treatment may involve oral supplementation or vitamin B12 injections.

Prompt treatment often leads to significant improvement in symptoms while helping prevent permanent neurological complications.
