B12 levels are associated with brain functions that can diminish if you do not supply your body with enough B12. If the levels drop then the brain might shrink causing dementia & Alzheimer's.

Can CBC and CRP blood tests show a lack of vitamin?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have a sensation of insects crawling on my body which worsens with water. My blood report is normal. I also have pain in joints and numbness?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Is my report normal? What medication is needed to increase my chances of becoming a father? I do not drink, but my blood test from five months ago showed Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D deficiency. Please advise.
