The Essential Vitamins: Vitamin B12 and Folate
In recent years, the crucial roles of vitamin B12 and folate (folacin) in maintaining good health have become increasingly clear. These vitamins are particularly vital during pregnancy, as a deficiency in folate can cause severe developmental issues in the fetus. To prevent such outcomes, many countries, including the USA, have fortified foods with synthetic folate.
Vitamin B12 is equally important because it works in tandem with folate. A deficiency in either vitamin can increase the risk of developing health issues like dementia. Both vitamins are essential for every cell in the body, playing critical roles in cell division and growth, particularly during fetal development.
Early deficiency symptoms may appear in rapidly dividing cells, such as blood cells and those in mucous membranes. This can lead to specific types of anemia, along with symptoms like a sore tongue and fragile mouth tissues.
In addition to cellular health, these vitamins are crucial for optimal nervous system function. Without adequate levels, there can be permanent nerve damage.
Deficiencies often arise from poor absorption in the stomach or intestines, or in strict vegetarians who do not consume adequate amounts of animal products. Subtle cognitive decline can be an early sign of a B12 deficiency, ultimately progressing to anemia and dementia if untreated.
Common symptoms of B12 deficiency include anemia, fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Neurological symptoms may include numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, balance issues, depression, confusion, memory issues, and oral discomfort.
Because many of these symptoms overlap with other health conditions, it is crucial to consult a physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
To ensure adequate intake of these vital nutrients, consider consulting with healthcare professionals, especially if you have dietary restrictions or potential absorption issues.
