There were also 2,630 admissions in 2023-24 where B vitamin deficiency (other than folate) was the main reason, up 15% on the previous year and more than triple the 833 in 1998-99, according to the NHS data.
Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency anaemia resulted in 3,490 hospital admissions in 2023-24, similar to the previous year but up fourfold from 836 in 1998-99, analysis by the PA Media news agency found.
My uncle got diagnosed with neuropathy last year (he was sent to be tested for Parkinson’s) due to his terrible diet (vitamin B12 deficiency is a cause) and his brother and sister had Wernicke-Korsakoff’s (vitamin B1 deficiency from boozing, my auntie died a month back from it) I am definitely considering a B complex supplement. Might get them to run a panel on my vitamin levels in my end of year blood test this year.
Everyone in the UK should be on vitamin D as we don’t get enough sunlight half the year.

Just to chime in, about everyone working in an office has D vitamin deficiency.
Leads to dementia and some other nice problems.
