Vitamin B-12 is an essential nutrient found in beef, seafood, cheeses, and eggs that helps the nervous system and brain function properly. A deficiency in vitamin B-12 can result in brain disorders and even depression and memory loss. It is much more common to have a vitamin B-12 deficiency if you are over the age of 65. If you experience the classic symptoms of vitamin B-12 deficiency, it may be important to take supplements. Symptoms of deficiency include fatigue, loss of appetite, numbness in the extremities, depression, and memory issues. It is important to take a good multi-vitamin anyway, rich in antioxidants and other valuable nutrients that the diet may be lacking in. Probiotics and Omega-3’s are also important to take for optimal immune system health and wellness. People who are vegetarians or are over the age of 65 should be especially aware of the nutrients they are getting to avoid any deficiencies.
