Can vitamin b-12 deficiency cause hair loss?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: In a simple answer vitamin B12 can cause hair loss as well as fatigue. Vitamin b-12, which is also known as cyanocobalamine or cobalmin, is an essential nutrient in our diet. It is required for development of red blood cells, and is used to make the protective coating surrounding nerves.
