Breath test for B12

IT IS difficult to guage if one is suffering from vitamin B12 deficiency. The problem often remains undiagnosed for years because of inconspicuous symptoms like loss of appetite, fatigue, confusion and memory loss. The vitamin plays a crucial role in the functioning of brain and nervous system and for the formation of red blood cells. Left untreated vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to severe anaemia and neurological disorders like dementia. To compound the situation, most diagnostic tools available today fail to show accurate results. Some are even expensive.
