Vitamin B12 is an important nutrient used to boost vitality and general wellbeing. Water-soluble, vitamin B12 has many benefits including aiding digestion, regulating your mood and helping to maintain the immune system.
Like all vitamins, B12 is essential ingredient for those with a healthy and active lifestyle. People with vitamin B12 deficiency could have a wide range of symptoms including tiredness, stress, loss of appetite, low moods, feeling light-headed and a pale complexion.
Vitamin B12 is normally acquired in a diet that includes animal-based foods such as meat, dairy, eggs and fish. This means vegetarians and vegans are prone to vitamin B12 deficiencies.
According to the NHS website, vitamin D is necessary for the body to regulate calcium and phosphate levels. These nutrients are essential to maintain healthy bones, teeth, muscles and the immune system.
Vitamin D deficiency can cause bone conditions such as rickets in children, and pain caused by osteomalacia in adults. The government recommends daily vitamin D supplements over the autumn and winter months, particularly for people aged over 50 and those suffering from certain medical conditions like coeliac disease.
The human body naturally produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, hence the name the “sunshine vitamin”, so the amount in your skin will usually depend on the time of year. Very few foods contain vitamin D, with the best sources being fish and fish liver oils.
Please be aware that vitamin D injections are not advisable for women who are pregnant or trying to conceive.
