The Effects of Vitamin B Deficiency

The RDA or Recommended Daily Allowance for Vitamin B is 1.3 mg a day for men and women under 50, and 1.7 mg for those older than 50.

Therapeutic doses to treat specific disorders are much higher. Millions of American suffer from a Vitamin B deficiency for several reasons. These include any kind of stress be it emotional or physical, too many processed foods in the diet, an abundance of refined sugar which will rob the body of its Vitamin B stores, either recreational or prescription drugs can deplete Vitamin B, poisons in the environment or personal care product can deplete Vitamin B, malnutrition either due to poverty or by not eating the right foods to begin with, or the effects of cooking as most people do not eat ample amounts of raw food which is where the Vitamin B is destroyed so people are not getting enough in their diet.

Vitamin B deficiency can be masked by many things and too often people are not even aware that they are deficient. It may not even create serious health problems right away. Researchers have discovered that more often than not there are no detectable symptoms of a Vitamin B deficiency. Researchers have found that cognitive deficits caused by a Vitamin B deficiency are evident long before Vitamin B deficiency shows up in the blood. This is an indication that certain mental disorders may be caused by Vitamin B deficiency. With this in mind, it may be a better solution to treat mental health issues by replenishing stores of Vitamin B rather than through drugs or psychological therapy.

If Vitamin B deficiency becomes long-lasting or chronic, other problems are likely to show up. Issues with the adrenal system is a classic symptom of Vitamin B deficiency. While the adrenal glands provide many services to the body, in terms of Vitamin B deficiency they are the back up for providing energy to the body. When there is a long lasting lack of Vitamin B, they are called on to provide quick energy to assist you in your daily life. If this becomes a chronic issue, the adrenal glands will literally wear out and even further health problems will be incurred.

A Vitamin B deficiency will manifest itself in many ways. It is always best to maintain your RDA's in order to prevent the more serious effects of its deficiencies.
