How do I know if I'm B-12 deficient?

We all feel tired and listless sometimes, but if symptoms like these are part of daily life, you might be suffering from a deficiency of Vitamin B-12. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns healthcare providers to watch their patients for these signs of low Vitamin B-12 levels:3

  • Fatigue
  • Weakness
  • Heart palpitations
  • Fainting
  • Vision loss
  • Shortness of breath
  • Pale skin
  • Dementia
  • Tingling of the hands and feet
  • Anemia
  • Hallucinations

The CDC doesn't stop there: it notes that a B-12 deficiency can also show up as anorexia (an eating disorder), diarrhea and constipation… it might even boost the risk of heart disease and stroke.3

It's important to note that even if you have any of these signs, it does not necessarily mean that you have a B-12 deficiency. These signs could stem from many causes. However, it does mean that your healthcare provider might want to rule out B-12 deficiency as a possible culprit.

Q: How do I take Alfred Libby's Super B-12?

Adults and children over 10: take 1 or more slow dissolve tablets daily as a dietary supplement or as directed by a healthcare professional. Let dissolve under tongue. Do now swallow whole.

Q: What is the difference between Original B-12 and Super B-12?

Original B-12 contains B-12, B-6 and folic acid. Super B-12 has 3 times as much B-12 as the Original B-12 plus ginseng.

Q: Where does the color come from in your Vitamin B-12?

It is actually the natural color of the product. No coloring is added.

Q: The label instructions say "DO NOT SWALLOW WHOLE." What happens if I just swallow the tablets?

There are no detrimental effects of swallowing the tablets. However, you will not receive the full benefits of the product by swallowing the tablets. Dissolving the tablets under your tongue gets essential B vitamins into your bloodstream faster than if you swallowed them.
