Feeling Tired All the Time? Let’s Talk Vitamin B12

If you’ve been feeling unusually tired, sluggish, or low in mood, you’re not alone. Many people experience symptoms linked to low Vitamin B12 levels, and don’t realise what’s causing them.

At Gilbert Pharmacy & Health Clinic, we offer Vitamin B12 Assessment & Injections to help diagnose and treat B12 deficiency where appropriate.

What Is Vitamin B12 and Why Do We Need It?

Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in:

• Energy production

• Red blood cell formation

• Nervous system function

• Brain clarity and focus

Without enough B12, your body struggles to produce healthy cells — leading to fatigue and other symptoms.

Common Signs of Vitamin B12 Deficiency

• Persistent tiredness or low energy

• Breathlessness or dizziness

• Pale or jaundiced skin

• “Brain fog” or memory issues

• Low mood or irritability

• Tingling in hands or feet

Many people mistake B12 deficiency for stress, ageing, or poor sleep — when the real cause is treatable.

Who Is Most at Risk?

• Vegetarians and vegans

• Older adults

• People with digestive conditions (e.g., Crohn’s, IBS, coeliac disease)

• Those on certain medications (e.g., metformin or PPIs)
