Question 6

how does vitamin deficiency cause hallucination?

Accepted Answer

Vitamins: Vitamins and minerals are vital for us. Even deficient in vitamin B12 may cause impaired cell division to slow down. When this slow impaired cell division occurs, red blood cells are enlarged and are more likely to be destroyed by the immune system. Hence, even vitamin B12 deficiency can cause hallucination apart from gastrointestinal problems as well as neurological problems.

Question 8

what kind of vitamin deficiency can cause you to faint?

Not directly: Indirectly fainting might be caused by vitamin d, vitamin c, vitamin b12, folate as well as iron deficiencies, but there are many more causes of fainting, if you have fainting spells, you better see the doctor and find out the exact cause of it.

Question 9

what vitamin deficiency causes receding gums?

Accepted Answer

Not any: I don't think there is a specific vitamin deficiency that would affect just the gums and cause them to recede.  If you are so malnourished that the gums are receding, i think you have bigger problems to worry about.  Remember, then only way the gums can recede, is if the jawbone underneath goes first.

Question 10

what vitamin deficiency causes muscular aches?

Accepted Answer

A few can: Several vitamin deficiencies can cause muscle aches but the most common reasons I see are vitamin D3 deficiency and magnesium deficiency (especially in the setting of ibuprofen).  BCPs can also contribute to B12 deficiency. All these can be measured (magnesium is done via RBC mag level).  A good nutritionist can help you with doses.
