Vitamin B Deficiency: Health Problems, Disorders, and Syndromes Caused by Vitamin B Deficiency

Types of Vitamin B Deficiencies There are a variety of health problems that can be attributed to a deficiency in these essential vitamins. The B vitamins all work together in the body to perform many important functions, including energy production, the growth and function of cells throughout the whole body, the production of neurotransmitters and hormones, the formation of red blood cells, and more. Because all of the B vitamins are water soluble, this means that they can’t be stored in the body for prolonged periods of time. Most B vitamins leave the body relatively quickly, though some (like vitamin B6) may be stored in the body for up to 30 days after ingestion. Other vitamins (like vitamin B3) are cleansed from your system within less than an hour! Nevertheless, because B vitamins le...

Vitamin B1 Deficiency Symptoms: The Connection Between Dry Beriberi and Guillain-Barré Syndrome

Beans, lentils, sunflower seeds, natural yogurt, nuts, and green peas, are all good sources of vitamin B1 (thiamine). Is Guillain-Barre a Vitamin Deficiency? Vitamin B1 deficiency, sometimes known as beriberi, has sometimes been known to cause symptoms that are remarkably similar to Guillain-Barre Syndrome. In one case, a woman with severe dry beriberi was misdiagnosed with GBS, but then later (after not responding to conventional IVIG therapy) showed a complete recovery shortly after receiving intravenous thiamine (vitamin B1) treatments. Other patients previously diagnosed with GBS also have experienced improvement from their symptoms when given intravenous thiamine.  There are three main kinds of vitamin B1 deficiency: dry beriberi, wet beriberi, and gastrointestinal beriberi....

Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 Deficiencies: Nutrition and Lupus

Using Diet to Cure Lupus One 2012 study reviewed the correlation between vitamin D deficiency and onset of lupus in different populations. Individuals with lupus tend to be more sensitive to sun exposure, which means that less time is spent in the sun (eventually leading to vitamin D deficiency). Thus, this is a cyclical problem: a person with an initial vitamin D deficiency develops SLE, they are increasingly sensitive to the sun and avoid it, and then their vitamin D deficiency can’t be sufficiently and comfortably corrected through sunlight.  However, supplementation with vitamin D3 is possible. Because many SLE patients also suffer from osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, and arthritis type symptoms, choosing a supplement that has both vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 will support bones...
