Today I’m going to cover the seven warning signs of a vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 is an important vitamin involved in making DNA, myelin sheath, and red blood cells.
It’s important to know how to identify vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms because if you are deficient in vitamin B12, you could experience irreversible damage to your nervous system.
When you’re looking for a vitamin B12 supplement, there are two kinds, a natural version, and a synthetic version. Always take the natural version, which is called methylcobalamin. But, it’s really best to get vitamin B12 from the diet.
The main cause of a vitamin B12 deficiency is not a lack of vitamin B12 in the diet. It has to do with malabsorption-the person can’t absorb vitamin B12.
Conditions that can block the absorption of B12:
• Atrophy of the stomach
• Hydrochloric acid deficiency
• Gastritis
• Ulcers
• Celiac
• Chrohn’s disease
• Irritable bowel syndrome
Foods rich in vitamin B12:
• Animal liver and kidneys
• Clams (and other seafood)
• Sardines
• Beef
• Chicken
• Fish
• Fermented products (kimchi, sauerkraut, and fermented dairy)
• Insects
• Nutritional yeast (non-fortified)
7 warning signs of a vitamin B12 deficiency:
1. Pale skin
2. Constant fatigue
3. Mouth problems
4. Cognitive issues
5. Nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy)
6. Blurred vision
7. Fast pulse rate

My aunt was diagnosed with epilepsy until some village doctor (in rural Serbia) told her to check her vitamin B12 level...there was no epilepsy in fact, just serious B12 and B vitamins deficiencies.
Well there you go ! Education has many forms and from many sources
I would go to a village doctor in rural Serbia before I would go to one here in the US.
Wow!!
I think B12 deficiency can make you have symptoms of stroke, too and/or be linked with migraines. Apparently I was having atypical migraines that mimicked stroke. Nothing could be found on numerous CT scans or MRI. Finally the last doctor said could be 1 of 3 things: atypical migraine (I found out later that 2 relatives on my father's side had migraines), seizures or narrowed blood vessels. But I experienced numbness and inability to think or speak correctly. Scary when it happens. So now I try to supplement with at least 1 B complex capsule every day. It seems to be helping me. Not giving anyone medical advice, just sharing my experiences.
I'm 46 and never had migraines before 1 or 2 years ago. Regular headaches sometimes, of course. Probably linked with perimenopause (the migraines, more severe headaches), but that's just a guess.
@@w1975b Good luck, I hope you get better. Try not to focus on perimenopouse much but rather if you made some lifestyle changes that could be the cause. I recently discovered that coffee will increase headaches as it shrinks blood vessels in the brain contrary to popular belief. Tested it and it's true: headache went from mild to horrible. Stopped drinking it and headaches are gone. Try taking two glasses of water - that works too for headaches.
I have never been so confused in my life and filled with negativity. I am 30 and
this explains why I have been in so much depression, anxiety, having paranoia about ageing and death and constant cynicism towards everything around me. I also feel fatigued and have blurred vision. My B12 levels have dropped over the last few months. I just got my B12 reports and need to work on my levels. Thankyou
What levels do you have? I think I have this too
@@user-vr9cb1hm2h Mine were at 110 and the sufficient levels are between 200-770. Actually above 300 is better. My sister had 361 last time.
I also noticed that Vit D3 plays a big part with your mood and other things too. Mine is 21, must be between 30-100.
I am already taking supplements and can see the difference.
@@rajat_vl How bad is the anxiety and depression?
@@user-vr9cb1hm2h The anxiety was super bad on three occasions in the month of April. The depression ( I don't even like using that word) is super uneven. I was feeling that everything is senseless and what's the point of doing everything or impressing anyone as it's all gonna end anyway, and then I was losing excitement and motivation.
The past 2 days I have found a lot of clarity on my thoughts by constantly talking about it with various people, and making an effort to sit with my family members and talk about the same concerns that bother me much but with honesty. It started to get more clear and now I also answered some internal questions by gaining insights on them. Got 2 B12 injections also helped I believe.
@@rajat_vl Have you figured out the reason your B12 levels dropped so much? That's important to know because it's not typical for your age unless you're vegan or had gastric bypass surgery, or some similar procedure. It could be something to do with your stomach or small intestine.
The injections helped me a lot as well. I was getting the worst anxiety I ever had in my life, a seemingly permanent state of dizziness whenever I walked around, and leg weakness/paresthesia. The injections pretty much gave me my life back.
I have been anemia for 20 years, after taking B12 for 2 months and routine ferrite, all blood checking back to normal, thank you Doctor.
Yes me too. I was told to take an iron supplement - for 40 years! Wouldn't it be nice if they just told us the cause back then, instead of treating the symptoms. Plus now with a quality B supplement I finally have the energy I used to have, after years of fatigue.
hi there. May I know which B12 did u take? is it methylcobalamin recommended by this Dr Berg? what is the daily dosage? i saw many products of B12 has 1000mcg.
@@touro603 Your body doesn’t need much B12, but very often the absorption isn’t so good. And if there are problems with intrinsic factor you can receive injections or daily take high dose B12 direct sticks (powder) or sublingual tablets. Then a small portion of the B12 goes straight through the mucous membranes into the blood, a little in the mouth and a little in the small intestine. When I have severe symptoms, I actually suck 1000 micrograms twice a day plus speaking with god and commanding symptoms to go.
OMG... if you only knew how much you help people with these videos. I can't even imagine how rewarded you will be for helping this many people. God Bless You!
Symptoms: 1) pale skin 2) fatigue 3) mouth problems 4) cognitive issues 5) nerve issues 6) blurred vision 7) fast pulse
Same condition
Thing is most of these are also linked with vitamin D deficiency so its hard to tell what vitamins im actually missing
It can also be signs of panic disorder. I have all these symptoms but my B12 and B6 levels are ok.
You're a gem. No one wants to listen to all of this video just to get the signs.
@@Ash.Crow.Goddess I do. Thanks.
I had very low B12!!! Under 60 . My symptoms were extreme severe exhaustion , cognitive issues and getting light headed and dizzy . I’m not a vegetarian .But I have stomach issues . Got injections and they were life changing !!!!
So injections better than tablets? Can give full name of injection ?
@@Topdealmaker hydroxocobalamin is the best source of the injection type
OMG this is me! How often do you get the injections? I am 1000% trying this!
@@keeprising8668 hi , I got prescribed 2 injections a week for three weeks in December. I have had no symptoms listed above since . I got my bloods checked in March and my B12 levels are still through the roof . Numbers in the 2000s. I am booked in to get them done in June again i feel “normal “ I just take a simple over the counter b12 vit now every day and try consume more b12 rich foods in my diet but I’m not ocd about it . My doctor maintains it will be a once off and I’ll prob never need the injection again however I now know the signs and will update this thread if it does dip again . I’d recommend everyone feeling the above to get bloods taken and ask to check b12 levels . Best injection ever like I was fully charged again from months of low battery .

Excellent service 👍👍👍
My B12 had gotten down to 67, its just by sheer luck that my doctor had it tested, i had been feeling most all these symptoms for years. Being that deficient gave me a Mortons Neuroma on my left foot which apparently is permanent.
A B12 test should be absolutely mandatory after the age of 50.
You are 100 percent correct. My brother in law was extremely low on vitamin B He developed neuropathy and his nerves shields where completely gone. His pain was so severe that we couldn’t even touch him he would scream from pain. Unfortunately he died form condition because his liver failed due to pain medicine long term use. Thanks for teaching public information that is crucial in the life.
How much was his B12 count.
Alpha Lipoic acid has been used in Germany for 60 years to treat peripheral neuropathy. They even give it intravenously. It takes away all pain.
@Paul Smith Do it, sooner then later. I have this condition, too. It was really bad, until the point where I couldnt even walk for a few meters. Its better now, but I feel still dizzy and have a hard time. I get injections now, first weekly then monthly.
I would recommend to get the first injections in your vein, and the monthly in your muscles.
We did so many blood testing over the years, no doctor could tell what was wrong with me. The last two doctors wanted to send me to a psychologist, because they thought I have depressions. Only in the hospital they came up with the idea I could lack Vitamin B12!
@@wellwisher4905 My doctor told me that my count wasnt even countable. The laboratory gave a value under 100, whatever this means.
Omg thank you soo much for this I have being taking paracetamol because every one's in a while my hands will itching and pain in between the fingers. I want to the doctor and he is all ways saying just put some cream on it will be okay. And I have the most symptoms that this doctor is saying. Should I buy one
My great grandfather died of pernicious anemia. Everyone said that he was just a depressed, lazy man when he was very sick. I learned different when I learned about MTHFR. I traced this genetic defect back to him.
Everyone should be tested for mthfr. It is so helful to know if you are positive and which ones you are positive for. Then you can address it.
@@sparrowgarden1401 Every member of my family has been tested and has this mutation. It sure helps knowing.
I have mthfr gene but never been tested for which specific one. How do i address this? I am currently taking folic acid 5mg, vit d, multi vitamins, self injecting b12 everyday
@@nadianasim9634 There are places that test for genetic mutations as a whole or a doctor can order just an mthfr gene mutation test. I'd look into places that test for all genetic mutations. I wouldn't take folic acid. I would only take folate, which is absorbable.
@@nadianasim9634 check out Dr Ben Lynch
Thank you Dr Berg. I realise now that I must have absorption problems as you've named symptoms I experience with auto-immune. Thank you for getting this info out there, it will help a lot of people.
I’m so thankful for your videos. You have helped me the last few weeks more than my constant virtual doctor appointments. My issues are just being put under the anxiety diagnosis and an antidepressant is prescribed.
Research the gluten connection to anxiety/depression and other health issues.
It is recoverable, from a former sufferer.
The psych and diabetes meds cause micronutrient deficiencies.
Thanks for the shorter videos! I find it difficult, in most cases, to sit through the longer videos. Around 7 to 10 minutes seems to be ideal. Thanks again!
I like to listen just before bedtime when I'm already snug. I put the phone on my pillow, I don't need to look at the video. I'm the morning I do the same, before I get up.
@bluemysticspirit Same
YES!! 7 is perfect
I love your show and it's great you cover important talks, that can really be life changing for some people. Health is everyone's wealth, rather they know that now or much later!
Thank you for summarising the video in the description. I find it very helpful
Awesome video as always! Intrinsic factor is very vital in vitamin B12 absorption, hope that Dr Berg can cover this topic :)
Hey doctor Berg I’m going into day 40 tomorrow of my water 💦 fast 💨 before that I did my two months of intermittent fasting all together I’m down 111 pound I was 601 pounds and now I’m 490 pounds In going for 100 to 150 days In my doctors actually do agree with me in want to see me monthly. Till April or May when I finish.🥰 they was so proud of me.
I am so proud of you too,God Bless you and I am praying for your success.💞🙏🏾🌹
We're all very proud of you - what an achievement. Well done!
Congratulations! Don’t let anyone else stop you because you are doing great!
B12 is a really underrated vitamin for the heart, which I discovered approximately two years ago. It helps to prevent heart attacks.
It also helps keep your heart muscle strong and protects against mitral valve prolapse which I had and fixed with B vitamins
YOUR POWER OF PLACEBO HELPS PREVENT HEART ATTACKS! 😮🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🥂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does it help for blood circulation also?
Pretty serious issue not a freggin placebo and I hope you never have this monster disease or issues with b12

Thanks dear Dr. Berg. Your videos are very informative and helpful.
Thank you Dr for all your contents, I live in Canada and drs always make mistakes about my heath problems, i watch your videos and I tell my dr. Which tests I need and I solve the problem. Thank you so much ❤️
I'm sure glad your focus is on nutrition now; so important and informative
Very glad to be of help.
The fewer ingredients your food has, the healthier you will be. The more pronouncable the ingredients are is also a good clue to their nutritional value.
When I was younger I drank heavily and smoked a lot of weed. But I've always avoided processed foods and aimed for nutritional foods so I managed to avoid the long term effects of drinking. Well, that plus a daily milk thistle capsule to help my previously overworked liver.
I also never went for all the health advice about low fat, sugar free, low-salt, margarine-instead-of-butter hype. As long as you eat moderate amounts of high quality food, you can avoid most health issues. Butter doesn't cause heart disease in appropriate amounts but even a little bit of margarine certainly does cause heart disease, for example.

My Great Grandma had Pernicious Anemia, I have Celiac's, so watching for it. It was very a very sad thing, this is before the internet and easily able to get a second opinion on apathetic Drs. She lost her mind, they wrote it off as dementia, around 7 years she was wrote off, finally a Dr. who gave half a care looked at her chart. "This doesn't seem like dementia", ordered a blood test, and within 6 months she was able to recognized people and got most function back. Why do we not have at least 2 competing medical associations? If the AMA had competition care would improve, and prices would go down.
Wow that’s an incredible testimony. Thank you. We can’t trust doctors fully we must do our own research
many years ago, i read an article about nursing home residents under the care of a young doctor, who was concerned about the levels of apparent dementia. an older doctor advised him to administer B12 shots to the nursing home residents. a very high percentage of them had restored cognitive function. everything that looks like Alzheimer's or dementia isn't always. B12 deficiency can look like dementia. In my dad's case, a severe urinary tract infection will convince doctors that he has dementia. a course of antibiotics and his physical and cognitive function is restored. just gotta find doctors with wisdom and common sense, who understand the basics of the body. i love Dr. Berg's videos. so grateful.
Because the medical field has become a mafia 😖💔😢
I went through this as well. So sad that our medical systems don't check for deficiencies.
@@katrinab7657 There are so many illnesses that the treatment, or sometimes even the known cure, are cheaper than all the testing and breakthrough new methodology. Without even considering the human cost. The whole system is broken. GOD BLESS that older Dr.
Dr. Berg, you do a great service to us all. Thank you so much!
Could you please share with us what vitamins (brand names) you take on a regular basis that would minimize the necessity of individual supplements? Thank you again! Keep up the great work!!
I doubt he’s going to endorse any particular brand.
And it’s not my intention to endorse or promote a particular brand either, but I’ve used Shaklee supplements for decades. They’re high quality products, and typically water soluble. They use the best ingredients that are well balanced so your body gets the best absorption. It’s pricey, but you get what you pay for. For me, worth every dime.

The bottom of the foot nerve damage has gotten me quite a bit lately. I had no idea B12 could help with this. It commonly affects me at night, and when it starts and hits, there is zero warning. The pain feels like someone is stabbing you with a needle with an electric shock tied to it. Then just like that its gone. Then randomly 10 minutes later, it hits again. Zero warning. It just keeps going. Over and over again. I understand the person’s feelings of wanting to end their life over it as it can absolutely destroy your quality of life. You can’t sleep because it simply won’t let you sleep. It’s brutal.
@GRIM REAPER 😈🔥 Divine Bounty Super B complex high potency formula from Amazon. I take two pills per day. Do you take prilosec or heartburn meds? Just curious. They strip the body of b vitamins and can lead to nerve damage and neuropathy. When I say the foot pain nails me like lightning it is brutal. Haven’t had an issue since taking these vitamins and have been taking them for six months now. It was a quality of life saver.
Did you ever solve it? have you tried b12 shots?
@@JoshTobaquero Yes. B12 shots cured my peripheral neuropathy.
Amazing information Dr. Berg, thank you for explaining everything in a way we all understand. You're so very appreciated! 💯❤🙏
Amen 🙏
Alpro yogurts (I eat about 2 or 3 Alpro blueberry/peach yogurts a day) and Alpro plant milks are the best source of B12 - also, wheatgrass and nutritional yeast and certain juices/sodas contain B12.
Thanks for all You do, Dr. Berg 🙏 You're a great Soul 💟
Thank you so much Dr. Berg for all your efforts and dedication to help us all!
Awesome! Glad it could help.
Dr. Berg, I really appreciate your videos, very helpful. I find the shorter 5-7 minute ones easy to watch. If I might make a suggestion: there seem to be more and more inserted pictures and vids that are slightly related to the topic, but I find them very distracting. I'd rather look at you (calming) and your notes! Thank you!
This is a very helpful guide to address the symptoms of B12 deficiency. Thank you for the very detailed and helpful information.
Thank you, this is a very complete video, with one caveat. In my experience in private Chinese Medicine practice, few conditions are irreversible as long as the patient lives. It takes time to heal damaged nerves, but nerves do heal with proper care. I use MFT to identify what the individual needs from week to week to address the patients' particular needs. Thus I have come to participate in the healing of incredibly complex vestibular conditions, migraines, neuritis, etc. That you have not seen it does not mean that it does not heal. I have seen it.
I enjoy learning health information from your channel. I would get more from your channel if the audio drop out issue from the microphone gets resolved and has been prevalent on many recent recordings.
Dr Berg, you can't begin to imagine how much I appreciate your videos. Your explanations in layman's terms are invaluable. You have answered so many of my questions, and your advice is life changing. I am forever grateful to have found you and do not have to be forced into a mountain of pharmaceuticals just to try to have a better quality of life. My heartfelt thanks to you. 😍
I appreciate your videos so much Dr Berg, my health has drastically changed. I was 25 when I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and I just couldn't understand why me so Young, getting worse and worse by every check up. Ever since last year when I bump into your channel and followed on your teachings, is like am dreaming my health is much better. My perception has changed about high blood pressure and so as my health. Can you please educate us about arthritis as well. Thank you so much. 🇿🇦
I knew someone who had high blood pressure for decades. It suddenly got very bad despite a diet with no sodium and increased meds. A trip to ER determined an aneurysm on the aorta. After surgery to fix the aneurysm, no more HBP. You have to advocate for yourself if things aren’t working as they should.
@@TheDriftwoodlover
Interesting.
Doctors typically think the
High BP worsens an AA,
but instead you are saying the AA is what is causing the high BP, like a warning sign.
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and when I cut out artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, preservatives and other toxins in food, it went away. My pain, deformities and nodules all went away.
Go carnival you will tapper off any form of meds I stay in SA and am Zambian
I just had blood work done yesterday, I am severely low in vitamin B-12 and D. Of course, I come watch your videos to see what I need to do!
Thank you so much for this simple straightforward information
Very much useful helpful informative and interesting.
Thank you, Doctor 🙏
I had all of this & more for years. Every GP & specialist I saw insisted there was nothing wrong. They assumed because I was over 50 & female - I was too daft to recognize common symptoms of aging & menopause. I should mention I’m a retired army colonel, not given to whining. But I could no longer drive, had excruciating back & hip pain, stabbing limb pain, numbness, vision & hearing loss, severe anxiety, heat intolerance. Once a competitive runner, I now struggled to walk up stairs without losing my breath or even around the block without losing my balance. I was given anti-depressants. Seriously. It was finally a psych I saw for the severe cognitive loss who insisted it was all related. He ran comprehensive bloods & found all the micronutrient deficiencies, esp B12 & low ATP. It’s an agonizing slow recovery & I’m on the hunt for the cause. In the meantime I’ve learned to self-inject my B12.
@@Sc-dd6hb Very glad your dad is being treated. It can lead to a dementia diagnosis & go unrecognized in the elderly. It’s really a shame - it’s cheap & easy to treat. I suspect the focus on pharmaceuticals may be to blame - no profit in vitamin treatments. The testing is not optimal either. I’ve been told to treat if symptoms are present. B12 is water soluble & the excess is excreted. So unless there is an allergy issue, it’s very safe.
@@Sc-dd6hb It enrages me as well. There is so much gaslighting going on. It’s very damaging.
I was lucky that a conversation with my doctor led to my pernicious anemia diagnosis and immediate B12 supplement treatment. I told him about my propensity to trip over myself, my tiredness and the tingling in my toes, which led to him asking me a series of questions and sending me for an immediate blood test. You know somethings up when you get a call from your doctor wanting to see you immediately. My B12 levels weren’t even on the charts. He started me on B12 injections and sent me for the test which found intrinsic factor to be the problem. My lasting symptom is damage to the nerves in the toes of my left foot. The chronic lower back pain I used to just “live with” took a few years to disappear completely. One day I just realized I had excess Panadols because I didn’t have the need to take them. Last year I switched from monthly injections (could only get cyancobalamin locally) to daily sublingual methylcobalamin tablets which I have a 3month supply standing order online. When I had first mentioned the symptoms I was having to my dads doctor after one of his checkups, the doctor put it down to signs of aging, he is a relative and about the same age as me. Thank God it didn’t end there.
@@MiriamWalcott What an experience! I do pray you are much much better now. My mother had pernicious anemia & needed B12 shots. Are you completely healed of symptoms now? God bless.
@@L4JRapture Thanks. I just get a tingling feeling in the toes on my left foot which is from the initial damage. Other than that I’m fine.
To add to mouth problems - I ended up with "burning mouth syndrome". For weeks my gums hurt so bad. I was reminded of my B12 deficiency. I went and got a shot from my doctor and the next day it went away. The same with neuropathy in my feet. B12 shots changed my life.
Did the neuropathy also make your feet achy and heavy?

@@AZHIETANGANG If your symptoms are going away because of the multivitamin, that's a great sign. That means your body can absorb it naturally. Please continue to talk with your doctor so he can tell you the difference based on your blood work.

I suffered so many of these symptoms during my last pregnancy, no one could tell me what was wrong... I lost my child. It haunts me everyday.
Now I am on a mission for better health for myself and my family.
I live with the regret of being misinformed and miseducated. But never again.
I hope you and yours are doing and feeling better.
Many "experts" in the medical field and industry don't want to heal but treat the populations all their lives.
be confronted in the Lord
@@markuse3472 & many don’t know the correct information themselves either so can’t help even if they wanted to
hope you can find inner peace, as I am trying to find my one… after years of searching what’s wrong with my baby especially first months of his life… no one diagnosed him with hypertonia now he is 9 y old and got scoliosis… asymmetrical body. but I was trying my best going to doctors who always tell me everything ok he is still too young etc… we had very difficult birth experience. Now I can’t forgive myself that I left it this way even knowing something is wrong
I’m so sorry but it wasn’t your fault please don’t think that! These doctors need to understand the general text book information they learn in school is not going to apply to everyone that walk in their office. They have to treat people with respect and handle each patient on a case by case. Sending love and prayers from Indiana

Thank you Dr. Berg! I have many of these symptoms definitely will look into taking this vitamin ....✨🙏🏼✨
The pain associated with low B12 levels is often concentrated in the hands and feet, but it can sometimes cause havoc in the legs as well. When it appears in the legs, it is often described as sudden pain and a stabbing or deep ache. It may feel like 'muscle cramps, a slight deep leg pain, numbness or tingling.
I sometimes have some kind of stabbing in one of my upper legs, like some electrical shock, only lasting a few seconds. Do you think it shows a lack of B12 ?

It is good to check the level of vitamin B12 at first..
To me it feels like a burning sensation in hands and feet, and sometimes more tingling. My B12 doctor (internist) describes it as ants crawling under the skin.
@@mvdhaak I have these burning sensations but I was thinking it's vitamin Deficiency but now convinced it's b 12
@@judx34 It's definitely worth checking it out with a good doctor. It could also be another B-vitamin, like vitamin B5. An easy way to find out if it's a B-vitamin is to take a high dosed B-complex with the active forms of the vitamins. If the pain lessens, you know it must be one or more of the B-vitamins.
I used to get canker sores a lot, turned out to be the sodium lauryl sulfate that's in most toothpaste. It's in there to make the toothpaste foamy when you brush. It appears that this reaction is autoimmune in nature. I now use sensodine which doesn't have that chemical in it and now it's all better. Been keto/carnivore since August of 2018, never looking back. Thanks Doc.
I had what you had plus a vertical split in the middle of my lower lip that wouldnt heal for months. I changed to a LSL free toothpaste and it healed in a couple of weeks. Crazy how all these products are poison to us.
Same stopped around 5 years ago when I realised
I lived in Europe and also suffered from canker sores - this was 15 years ago - back then they told me about toothpaste issues
It's in shampoos and other products as well
It's very easy to make your own toothpaste. Take one tablespoon of coconut oil and mix it with enough bicarbonate of soda to make a paste. It will solidify overnight. It won't foam like commercial toothpaste does but it makes a really good job of cleaning your teeth. The coconut oil is also anti-bacterial. It does have a slightly salty taste but once you rinse your mouth with water that disappears.
A very important video Dr Berg, no way back struck a chord in me thank-you
Your information is always very helpful! Thank you Dr. Berg!!
I really appreciate you saying so!
Thanks..awesome data as always. I've tested in the past low in B12..recently out of town I started getting achy feet..weird sensation, burning and mild pain..somehow on line B12 popped up..I ordered liquid drops from Whole Foods and man feet improved in 2 days. And, despite my decent energy, it also went up. I realized from your video my heart rate also went down since. I will never not be without it. You rock ❣
Hand and foot tingling can also be diabetes. Good idea to get these things checked. It's wonderful when you can take a supplement and notice improvement right away!
@@SandyCheeks63564 thanks! Ya no tingling in either. ;)
@@lisamartin1758 She said she ordered the liquid drops from Whole Foods
Please do more vids on teeth and gum health!!! These are SUPER SUPER helpful :)
Thank you so much for this information. I needed it right now. Ann .
Dr berg,we all are so thank full,very knowledgeable and great help for us,May god bless you with good health
I have been going through hell for years with severe pain.I thought being a vegetarian/vegan would have been better for my life but without the right guidance it could be very damaging. Thank you for all your information hopefully it will help me on my quest to become a healthier individual
This is so great. I had several symptoms before I started increasing my b12. I didn't make the connection, but I see it now.
What did you do to increase it?
I love the videos , it's always educative
Thank you for the very informative and easy to digest video. You gave a brilliant explanation. I might need to go see a doctor after this.. and u might have just saved me from irreversible nerve damage
Everytime i hear something in the news or read something about health i come to dr berg to get the right informations. Thank you mr berg for the time you take to do these videos🙏 stay safe everyone!
Very glad to be of help.
Very true
@@Drberg what are the problems you say if you get excessive amounts of b 12 everyday?
Agreed! My brother teases me cause I only go by anything dr.berg says when it comes to my health but I dont care! I feel really good and for once in my life I think clearly and I can pay attention 100% when I'm on keto!
I type the problem + dr berg. He has almost covered everything
am i deficient in b12? i dont know because doctors never follow up with your concerns until you are showing concerning symptoms. telling them you have cold hands, blurred vision or declining cognitive function will just have them referring you to an eye doctor or something. basically we only treat the symptoms never the underlying issue.
Very very useful and informative! 👌🏼
Thank you for mentioning sources and dosage! 🙏🏻

thank you dr. berg, where have you been all of my life. i hope it is not too late for me. god bless you for your fantastic work.
I’ve just started a series focused on childhood nutrition, and one of the key vitamins I discuss is the importance of vitamin b12. This video really covers how vital this vitamin is, both for adults and children. And with so many people going vegetarian or vegan, it so important to make sure those essential vitamins are included...
I am concerned about my autistic granddaughter who's diet is just awful. I would like to supplement but she can only tolerate smaller pills with no scent whatsoever. Do you have any recommendations for me?
@@veronicaf9444
I think Dr Berg’s nutritional yeast might work for your grandchild. The tablets can be chewed or ground up and added to a drink or smoothie. It has B12, as he states in this video.
It has a mild flavor, which I enjoy.
@@veronicaf9444 there are some yummy tasting liquid B12 supplements that may work for her. Garden of life makes a spray, other companies make liquid drops that taste like raspberry or other flavors. Natural factors makes B12 tiny tablets that dissolve under the tongue, sort of chalky though but just wanted to share those options.
MAN Needs !!!MEAT.???PEOPLE DONT GET That !!!😳😔Especialy LIVER g
@@veronicaf9444 what about vitamin gummies? Yes they have a bit of sugar but maybe they’ll be more palatable for her?
I thank God for you Dr Berg you have been such a blessings to millions. I suffered twice being too weal to the extent of being unable to stand up from my seat and when I was taken to hospital I was admitted but I realised that one of the medication was vitamin B12 each time, which made me back on my feet. however the Doctors never advice on what is wrong and how to keep healthy. now I know.
They never do.All they do is send you on a wild goose chase to multiple specialists. Meanwhile Dr.Berg pin points every health issue in complete detail.
I want to thank you and I am referring my patients to buy supplements from your website 🙏❤️🙏
Happy that I subscribed to your channel .very important to me.
Now I understand. I am deficient in B12, didn't think that was the problem. I had ulcers on my lip and my nerves are shot. Pain in my arms, hands, entire upper body. Also I suffer from extreme leg cramps. I get B12 shots sometimes. Glad to know. I just ordered some B12. The right ones. Thanks doc!!
I have the same
Some advice on what B12 you like?
@@margarethayes9888 B-12 with Methylcobalamin. Mine is Nature's Bounty 1000mcg. Hope this helps!!☺
Thank you Michelle!
@@margarethayes9888 👍🏾☺
Thank you for making so much sense here Dr Eric. I have had issues with my vision and tiredness over the past 2 years and have been conscious of taking zinc and Vitamin D and B complex but totally overlooked B12.
B complex contains B12 too...
@@ezazahmed8118 The Nutri advanced calmeze I take doesn't have any on it. The B complex ones usually do.
Glad to help!
-Dr. Berg's support team
If you take B complex do you need to take B12 also?
Read the label it will tell you if it contains b12 and if so, how much.
Thank you for sharing this video with me.
AWESOME VIDEO, EXCELLENT INFO
Just ordered your nutritional yeast tablets as I've been suffering with a few of the symptoms. I KNEW it was an oxygen issue and my doctor's just seem to dismiss my instincts and say all of my blood work is in "normal range". I abhor that term. Thank you, Dr. Berg, I❤️You.
Do you mind sharing types of oxygen issues. Thank you
Thank you Dr.Berg..Being a dr.I diagnosed B12 deficiency in my system rather late but I did before my nerves or sight could be damaged completely ...I will follow your instructions .💕
You are amazing! I have b12 deficiency for since I was a teenager. I have to pay attention in order to get the right amount of vitamin b12 in my system, else I have experienced memory loss, nerve damage as in my limbs going numb and painful, fatigue and fast pulse rate. Please everyone, take care of your vitamin b12 level, always do a yearly blood test. Dr. Eric Berg, you are a lifesaver, I could watch your videos all day!
Yes. I agree 100%. Thank you for this to-the-point video.
Another incredible health information video by Dr Eric! 👏 Thank so much!
GPs should test for this if people show these symptoms, but they’re clueless and only want to push drugs so they can get their commission!
Thank God for docs like Dr Eric who genuinely care about people’s health. God bless you! 🤗
Amazing my deficiency and problems went completely away after I stopped drinking alcohol 8 years ago.
well explained
Thanks doc, you're a gift to humanity
I believe I came across this video by Divine Providence. I have all these problems and never knew the cause. Thank you, Dr. This has been most helpful. God continue to bless your work.
Dr Berg Thank you for posting these daily videos. I look forward to watching your informative videos. God Bless you and your family🙏🏽😉
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE
No worries!
Thanks Doc! I have all the Symptoms You mentioned here.
Dr. Berg thank you for all your educational videos. I'm sure they may have saved lives. Keep up the good work. Live long and prosper.
Welp that explains my vision and especially high pulse rate too. Thank you so much doctor berg. Now to address this issue. As a 90s kid it shouldn't be too late.
Oh my god! This is sooo informative. thank you very much! I have most of those symptoms. Do you think that the internal tremor would be a symptom of deficiency of vit B12? In another video you talk about tremor, but mine is internal. Thank you so much! Dominique ;-)
Always amezig information Thank you!!
Dr. Berg, thanx much for this valuable information, as always. What do you think about the recent study that linked B12 sumplement consumption and cancer?
Are you saying it is causing cancer? It is helping to keep you from getting cancer? I haven't seen.
LIES🤥probably means it’s helping to inhibit cancer so ya know..gotta get the word out that it’s bad...VERY BAD
It’s the vitamin b3.
What about b3?
I am now taking B 12 for only a few weeks and I notice a Huge difference in a Lot of these symptoms ! Thank You Dr Berg!!
And my daughter takes it now also!!~
Wonderful! You're very welcome!
Are you okay now?
My 15 Y/O has all of these symptoms and the doctors have never checked her B12! I am going to ask them to check this
Thanks for the video and information, DR. ERIC BERG DC
I had problems with a statin drug it effected all of my muscles. I had pain in my hands,loss of feeling,tingling in my feet and hands. Started taking b12,and it has improve alot. Thanks to you.
I stopped taking Statin from muscle problems. It took over a year to start. When I stopped Statin I felt like a new man.
My mother's memory was affected as well as permanent chronic pain to her shoulder and arm from a statin. When it was ceased her memory was fine. She was given the statin due to a stroke and not her diet!
I have read that statins are VERY VERY BAD FOR YOU!!
I think people should also be informed about dangers of overdose and excess levels of vitamins! Many people start taking supplements without knowing their current levels, without doing blood work to understand how much and to what extent supplements affect their blood values until it is too late. Especially It is extremely harder to treat and revert excess doses of fat-soluble vitamins (D, A, K....). With overdosing you may even damage parts of your body permanently.
A is really the only one you need to worry about getting too much of, and that’s straight from my mom and grandma (both registered nurses who specialized in nutrition), my Certified RN midwife, and my own doc (specializes in endocrinology).
@@schoolingdiana9086 Right, too much of Vitamin B also results in nerve damage. Too much of vitamin C for a long period increases risk of kidney stones. Too much vitamin K can contribute to blood clotting. Too much Vitamin D causes build up of calcium, excess doses of vitamin E are a risk factor for prostate cancer,....other supplements such as Ashwagandha messes your thyroid levels, L-Glutamine feeds cancer cells,...
B vitamins are water soluble and any excess is excreted in your urine. But people definitely need to be wary of how much fat soluble vitamins they take (A, D, E & K).
Thanks a lot.. very helpful information..
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm on a IF, high protein/fat diet, no/low carbs/sugars, eggs every day. I lost nearly 30lbs in 4 months, back to my college weight. I take a range of supplemental vitims including D3, zinc, a multi, quercetin, CoQ10. Good blood panels and no medications. I would occasionally get some slight tingling in one of my feet at night when I would lay down. I added B12 to my vitamin regime and not only noticed higher energy levels but the tingling in my feet seemed to go away. Great channel and service you provide, thank you.
I had this for years and nobody could tell me what was wrong with me. I felt tired, I had bad skin, I had problems with my stomach, etc. Then my condition worsened a lot, until the point where I felt dizzy, I always forgot things, and I couldnt really walk for a longer period of time. I even became depressions. We did a lot of blood testing over the years, but in Germany - where I live - it isnt usual to scan the blood for vitamins. So one day I turned up into the hospital because I didnt know what to do. The doctors there didnt know either at first, but one young doctor came up with the idea. They analyzed my blood and bang, that was it.
Turns out that I lack the enzym to crack the vitamin up, so my body cant absorb it from the food. I am getting now injections. First weekly, then monthly.
I am in recovery, still feeling bad, but a lot better since my visit in the hospital.
You will get better with time trust me! Am in the same boat!
@@irenesemakula8077 Thanks for your comment, Irene. It helps much more then you might think. :-)
Do you know what enzyme you were lacking so you couldn't absorb from food
@@allisonscanlan4144 Its not an enzyme, its a receptor protein. Maybe you find more about it under "Imerslund-Gräsbeck-Syndrome".
Dr. Berg, even when you don't do the surprised face stunt, we will still watch. Uv got great content. Thats what keeps bringing us back to ur channel. I simply have to see a video from you and im game.
I have really benefitted from your videos sooo much!
I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you're enjoying my content!
