When the body is deficient in vitamin B12, it will affect overall health, from mild discomfort to serious neurological signs.

Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that plays an important role in maintaining overall health, especially in the nervous system and red blood cell production.

Vitamin B12 deficiency is often caused by poor diet, absorption problems, or certain medical conditions.

Weak and tired

Feeling weak, tired, and having reduced energy during physical activities is another sign of vitamin B12 deficiency.

When fatigue gets worse at night, your body is weakened and it is difficult for you to get a good night's sleep, consult a health care professional, and promptly supplement vitamin B12.

Muscle cramps and pain

People with vitamin B12 deficiency often experience problems such as cramps and muscle pain in the legs at night, which makes you feel uncomfortable and interferes with your sleep.

Unusual leg pain can stem from nerve damage caused by a long-term vitamin B12 deficiency, which affects muscle function.
