Importance of B Vitamins
B vitamins are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy production, red blood cell formation, and neurological health. However, they are water-soluble and can be easily lost through urine and sweat. This loss, combined with dietary habits—especially those high in processed foods—can lead to deficiencies.
Risk Factors for Deficiency
Certain groups are at a higher risk for B vitamin deficiencies, including:
-
Vegans and Vegetarians: May lack B12 and other B vitamins typically found in animal products.
-
Elderly Individuals: Aging affects the body's ability to absorb B12 from food, increasing the risk of deficiency.
