Vitamin B12 Deficiency
विटामिन बी12 की कमी
Vitamin B12 deficiency is extremely common in India, especially among vegetarians, because B12 comes mainly from animal foods. It causes tiredness, weakness, tingling/numbness in hands and feet, mouth ulcers, poor memory, and a type of anaemia. It is easily treated with B12-rich foods, fortified foods, or supplements/injections — but if ignored, nerve damage can become permanent.
