Article Synopsis
- Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) deficiency is prevalent in the Indian population, leading to anemia and various health issues, including central nervous system and cardiovascular problems due to elevated homocysteine levels.
- A study at Bawaskar Hospital examined nearly 2,000 patients for dietary habits and blood levels of B12 and homocysteine, finding a significant number of vegetarians, particularly housewives, among those affected.
- Clinical signs such as hair loss, memory issues, and weakness were common, and incorporating vitamin supplements directly into meals was shown to effectively boost blood vitamin levels.
