What happens if you dont get enough vitamin b6?

Vitamin B6 is used to make neurotransmitters (such as serotonin) and myelin, which insulates the axons of neurons. In adults, deficiency can cause depression, confusion, seizures, inflamed skin, inflamed mucous membranes (lips, gums, etc.), and anemia. However, these symptoms only appear when the deficiency has persisted for a long period of time.


Deficiency of which vitamin causes mouth ulcers?

Look up "angular chelitis".... This is one of the many things that happened to my Dad in the sub-acute care facility he was in before his recent passing. It lasted a little more than a week and his lips were very chapped and sore.Here's an excerpt:Although the disease has an unknown etiology, the sores of angular cheilitis may become infected by the fungus Candida albicans (thrush), or other pathogens. Studies have linked the initial onset with nutritional deficiencies, namely riboflavin (vitamin B2)[2] [3]and iron deficiency anemia,[3] which in turn may be evidence of poor diets or malnutrition (e.g. celiac disease). Zinc deficiency has also been associated with angular cheilitis.

What would happen if you didn't have vitamin b?

The B vitamins are actually composed of eight water-soluble vitamins that play important roles in cell metabolism. Historically, the B vitamins were once thought to be a single vitamin, referred to as vitamin B (much as people refer to vitamin C or vitamin D). However, later research showed that they are chemically distinct vitamins that often coexist in the same foods. Therefore, deficiency of the B vitamins depend on the specific B vitamin deficient in:* Vitamin B1 (thiamine) - Deficiency causes beriberi. Symptoms of this disease of the nervous system include weight loss, emotional disturbances, Wernicke's encephalopathy (impaired sensory perception), weakness and pain in the limbs, periods of irregular heartbeat, and edema (swelling of bodily tissues). Heart failure and death may occur in advanced cases. Chronic thiamine deficiency can also cause Korsakoff's syndrome, an irreversible psychosis characterized by amnesia and confabulation. * Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) - Deficiency causes ariboflavinosis. Symptoms may include cheilosis (cracks in the lips), high sensitivity to sunlight, angular cheilitis, glossitis (inflammation of the tongue), seborrheic dermatitis or pseudo-syphilis (particularly affecting the scrotum or labia majora and the mouth), pharyngitis, hyperemia, and edema of the pharyngeal and oral mucosa. * Vitamin B3 (niacin) - Deficiency, along with a deficiency of tryptophan causes pellagra. Symptoms include aggression, dermatitis, insomnia, weakness, mental confusion, and diarrhea. In advanced cases, pellagra may lead to dementia and death. * Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) - Deficiency can result in acne and paresthesia, although it is uncommon. * Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) - Deficiency may lead to anemia, depression, dermatitis, high blood pressure (hypertension), water retention, and elevated levels of homocysteine. * Vitamin B7 (biotin) - Deficiency does not typically cause symptoms in adults but may lead to impaired growth and neurological disorders in infants. * Vitamin B9 (folic acid) - Deficiency results in a macrocytic anemia, and elevated levels of homocysteine. Deficiency in pregnant women can lead to birth defects. Supplementation is often recommended during pregnancy. Researchers have shown that folic acid might also slow the insidious effects of age on the brain. * Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) - Deficiency causes macrocytic anemia, elevated homocysteine, peripheral neuropathy, memory loss and other cognitive deficits. It is most likely to occur among elderly people as absorption through the gut declines with age; the autoimmune disease pernicious anemia is another common cause. It can also cause symptoms of mania and psychosis. In rare extreme cases, paralysis can result.


What causes your skin to crack and peel on your nose and around your mouth?

It could just be chapped lips and/or dry skin. I wouldn't worry about it unless it's really bad.
