What is Vitamin Deficiency Anemia?

• Vitamin deficiency anemia is a lack of healthy
  red blood cells caused by lower than the normal
  levels of vitamin B-12 and folate.
• This could occur if you do not eat enough foods
  containing vitamin B-12 and folate, or if your
  body has trouble absorbing or processing these
  vitamins.
• Without these nutrients, the body produces red
  blood cells that are too large and do not work
  properly. This limits their capacity to carry
  oxygen.
• Symptoms could include fatigue, shortness of
  breath, or dizziness. Vitamin supplements, taken
  by pill or injection, could correct the
  deficiencies.

Causes of Vitamin Deficiency Anemia

• Vitamin deficiency anemia could happen if you do
  not eat enough foods containing vitamin B-12 and
  folate, or if your body has trouble absorbing or
  processing these vitamins.
• Vitamin B-12 deficiencies
• Low levels of vitamin B-12 could be caused by
• Diet - Vitamin B-12 is primarily found in meat,
  eggs, and milk, so people who do not eat these
  types of foods might need to take B-12
  supplements. Some foods have been enriched with
  B-12, including some breakfast cereals and some
  nutritional yeast products.
• Pernicious anemia - This condition happens when
  the body's immune system attacks cells in the
  stomach that produce a substance known as an
  intrinsic factor. Without this substance, B-12
  cannot be absorbed in the intestines.
