The first PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) side effect that David, co-founder of Dayli Natural Reflux Relief, found noticed was fatigue. He was constantly tired and nothing he tried helped. After careful research, he made the connection between his PPI prescription and his chronic fatigue. The other potential side effects on this list were enough for convince David he needed to find a natural solution.
But how are acid reflux prescriptions linked to fatigue? The answer is Vitamin B.
- Vitamin B12 Deficiency
One of the lesser-known side effects of PPIs is their impact on vitamin B12 absorption. B12 is one of the energy vitamins. We need it to survive and thrive. Stomach acid is essential for the absorption of vitamin B12 from food. By reducing stomach acid production, PPIs can interfere with this process, potentially leading to a deficiency in vitamin B12 over time.
- Fatigue and Weakness
A deficiency in vitamin B12 can result in symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and even neurological issues. Vitamin B12 is crucial for red blood cell formation and neurological function. Without adequate levels, you may experience persistent tiredness and a lack of energy, which can significantly impact your daily life.
