Unusual signs of Vitamin B12 deficiency in feet and hands

Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that is extremely vital for the healthy functioning of our body. 

It helps in forming red blood cells and DNA, and in developing brain and nerve cells.

Our body doesn't make vitamin B12, we must get it from animal-based foods or from supplements. But if you are unable to do so then you can experience vitamin B12 deficiency.

Two of the unusual signs of Vitamin B12  deficiency in your feet include tingling or numbness in the feet.

Numbness in your hand is also a common symptom.

This happens because vitamin B12 ensures healthy functioning of the nervous system. Its deficiency can make people prone to nerve damage.

Other symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency are extreme fatigue, mood problems, skin changes, stomach issues, memory problems, etc.

The most suitable to diagnose vitamin B12 deficiency is through a blood test.
