How to combat iron and vitamin B12 deficiencies


Listen Later

Iron and B12, along with vitamin D, are the most common nutrient deficiencies in the UK. And failing to take action can affect your health.

In the first episode of a brand new series of our healthy living podcast, our public health nutritionist Shefalee Loth and the founder of CityDietitians Sophie Medlin tell us who is more likely to be suffering nutrient deficincies and they ways we can improve our intake via our diet.

Fatigue, weakness and low energy levels are all signs of iron deficiency, while for low levels of B12, symptons can include tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, poor balance and memory problems.

Plus, for the first time, we've been reviewing iron and B12 supplements to find out which brands are leading the way. Our thorough, independent testing allows us to recommend the products that really work work, and highlight the ones that failed our tests.
