Tag: B12 deficiency diagnosis

Research indicates that approximately 6% of Americans under age 60 and as many as 20% of those over age 60 are B12 deficient. These figures, however, do not capture the full scope of subclinical deficiencies, suggesting the total number of affected individuals is significantly higher.

According to the National Institutes of Health, vitamin B12 deficiency can go undetected for years, but recognizing the signs is crucial for your health. Knowing how to tell if you are lacking B12 can help prevent potentially irreversible neurological damage.
