Named vitamin, the deficiency of which can lead to partial loss of memory and vision

About the deficit

So, some begin to complain of memory lapses. And age has nothing to do with it. Forget the events of the past days, upcoming affairs can cause vitamin B12 deficiency, writes a British edition Express.

“Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to problems ranging from headaches and irritability to anemia and memory loss. Rash, bruising, slow-healing wounds, muscle weakness and tingling in the limbs are also signs that you are deficient in vitamin B, ”explained nutritionist Alex Glover.

If the deficit has reached serious proportions, then along with problems with memory and dizziness, a person’s vision may begin to decline.

“There are many different types of B vitamins, each with a different function. So, vitamin B12 produces red blood cells and regulates the nervous system, B6 helps the body convert food into energy, and B1 and B2 are responsible for the health of the skin, hair and nails,” says skin care expert Carl Christian.

What interferes with the absorption of B12

One reason for B12 deficiency may be alcohol intoxication (accompanied by toxic damage to the mucous membrane).

Atrophic gastritis, terminal ileitis, severe chronic enteritis, diverticulosis of the small intestine, the occurrence of a blind loop of the small intestine after operations on it, as well as Crohn’s disease also impair the absorption of vitamin B12.
