Iron / B12 deficiency treatment

Two of the most common nutritional deficiencies, both causing fatigue but through different mechanisms.

Common symptoms

  • Persistent fatigue
  • Pale skin or brittle nails (iron)
  • Numbness/tingling or memory issues (B12)
  • Diagnosed via blood test

What it involves

Oral or injectable supplementation depending on severity, plus identifying why the deficiency occurred in the first place.

What to expect

Energy levels typically improve within a few weeks of starting supplementation, though full correction takes longer.
