Hi,

The vitamin B12 deficiency can be associated with an altered immune function. But it is not directly related to shingle.

However, vitamin B12, C and amino acid tablet help in improving shingles.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami,
