Vitamin B12 – The Energy Vitamin - Patches- Transdermal Therapy System

Vitamin B12 is one of the eight essential B vitamins, often referred to as the "energy vitamin" due to its vital role in converting carbohydrates into glucose, the body’s primary source of energy.

Signs of Vitamin B12 Deficiency

When left untreated, B12 deficiency can result in serious health issues and potentially irreversible damage. Common symptoms include:

Persistent fatigue, low energy, and apathy

Depression, anxiety, irritability, and stress

Heart palpitations, ringing in the ears

Visual disturbances

Digestive issues: indigestion, constipation, weight loss

Memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, cognitive decline

Dizziness, headaches (including migraines), drowsiness, hallucinations

Poor coordination and motor skills

Numbness or tingling in the arms and legs

General weakness

Skin disorders

Deficiency symptoms often develop gradually. Early signs may include mood changes, nausea, stiffness, mild infections, or memory issues. Without timely intervention, these can escalate into more severe and lasting health problems.

Important Note for Vegetarians:

Vitamin B12 is found exclusively in animal-derived foods. Vegetarians and especially vegans are at higher risk of deficiency. Although the body can store B12 for several years, symptoms may appear suddenly after prolonged depletion. Regular supplementation is essential for maintaining optimal health.
