what causes vitamin b deficiency?

Answer 1

Obviously not getting enough B vitamins. It could happen because of poor absorption in the intestines in which case you can get B-12 tabs that dissolve in your mouth. If you are vegetarian or vegan you can have a deficiency because meat has alot of the B's. Here is some more info:
Stress: emotional, physical and spiritual


Processed foods in the diet: these are not real foods and so they tax the body


Refined sugar. The average person consumes at least 140 pounds of sugar a year which robs the body of its vitamin B stores


Drugs: both recreational and prescription drugs deplete vitamin B


Toxins: poisons in the environment and personal care products deplete vitamin B complex


Malnutrition. Most people are malnourished because they are not eating the right kinds of foods


Cooking. Most people do not eat enough real, raw foods, so vitamin B is killed or so depleted that people are not getting enough of it in the diet

Answer 2

Some people's bodies do not absorb the vitamin through the stomach. They get a type of anemia associated with Vit B deficiency. There are treatments, but they need to be monitored by a physician. Alcohol abuse can cause vitamin deficiency, as could bulimia or anorexia. Since the person is interfering with the digestive process or starving themselves the body is not getting what they need. You haven't left enough info to be more specific.
