Vitamin B12 is essential for nerve health. A deficiency can result in numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, along with other symptoms like muscle weakness and fatigue. This deficiency is more common in individuals with dietary restrictions, such as vegetarians or those with absorption issues like Crohn’s disease.
