It also helps support fat oxidation, fat metabolism, antioxidant capacity, and reduces exercise induced muscle tissue damage
Neurological manifestations are particularly concerning and may include peripheral neuropathy with paresthesias (tingling and numbness in hands and feet), ataxia, impaired proprioception and vibratory sense, cognitive impairment, memory loss, and in severe cases, subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord
