Can Fast Metabolism Cause Vitamin Deficiency?
Is a person with a fast metabolism more susceptible to vitamin deficiencies? I have always been super thin no matter what I eat, but I have had a lot of skin problems (cracked skin at fingertips, constantly chapped lips) that I think may be linked to B vitamin deficiency?

Hello,
A fast metabolism won't cause any vitamin or mineral deficiencies as long as he is eating a healthy and nutritious diet.
Your symotoms do appear to be due to B complex deficiencies.
Get yourself investigated for them and get proper nutritional replacement.
Thanks
