Vitamin B12 Supplements

New DocumentSources of Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is naturally found in animal products, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products. Vitamin B12 is generally not present in plant foods, but fortified breakfast cereals are a readily available source of vitamin B12 with high bioavailability for vegetarians. Some nutritional yeast products also contain vitamin B12. Fortified foods vary in formulation, so it is important to read product labels to determine which added nutrients they contain.

Dietary supplements

In dietary supplements, vitamin B12 is usually present as cyanocobalamin, a form that the body readily converts to the active forms methylcobalamin and 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin. Dietary supplements can also contain methylcobalamin and other forms of vitamin B12.

Existing evidence does not suggest any differences among forms with respect to absorption or bioavailability. However the body’s ability to absorb vitamin B12 from dietary supplements is largely limited by the capacity of intrinsic factor. For example, only about 10 mcg of a 500 mcg oral supplement is actually absorbed in healthy people.

New DocumentVitamin B12 Deficiency

Vitamin B12 is an essential water-soluble vitamin that is commonly found in a variety of foods such as fish, shellfish, meat, and dairy products. Vitamin B12 is frequently used in combination with other B vitamins in a vitamin B complex formulation. It helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells and is also needed to make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Vitamin B12 is bound to the protein in food. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach releases B12 from protein during digestion. Once released, B12 combines with a substance called intrinsic factor (IF) before it is absorbed into the bloodstream.

The human body stores several years' worth of vitamin B12, so nutritional deficiency of this vitamin is extremely rare. Elderly are the most at risk. However, vitamin B12 deficiency can result from being unable to use vitamin B12. Inability to absorb vitamin B12 from the intestinal tract can be caused by a disease known as pernicious anemia. Additionally, strict vegetarians or vegans who are not taking in proper amounts of B12 are also prone to a deficiency state.

Megaloblastic anemia - due to vitamin B12 deficiency

Vitamin B12 deficiency is a cause of megaloblastic anemia. In this type of anemia, red blood cells are larger than normal and the ratio of nucleus size to cell cytoplasm is increased. There are other potential causes of megaloblastic anemia, including folate deficiency or various inborn metabolic disorders. If the cause is vitamin B12 deficiency, then treatment with B12 is the standard approach. Patients with anemia should be evaluated by a physician in order to diagnose and address the underlying cause.

A day's supply of vitamin B12 can be obtained by eating 1 chicken breast plus 1 hard-boiled egg plus 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt, or 1 cup milk plus 1 cup raisin bran.

Vitamin B12 is a key contributor in your body to the formation of cells, especially in helping make healthy red blood cells and important parts of your nerve cells. Vitamin B-12 is typically called the energy vitamin, because many people that take B12 shots and/or B12 supplements feel an extra burst of energy shortly thereafter.

Vitamin B12 is a key contributor in your body to the formation of cells, especially in helping make healthy red blood cells and important parts of your nerve cells. The benefits of taking vitamin b12 supplements far outweighs the lack thereof.

In his latest Wellness Report, Brazos Minshew, TriVita's Chief science Officer explains how stress, energy and exercise relate to one another. The complete report is posted below. Please read and enjoy!

The Physical Side of Stressby Brazos Minshew

According to health experts, we need about 30 minutes of aerobic exercise most days of the week. The benefits of this are too numerous to list but include:

• Heart health
• Increased energy
• Decreased obesity
• Improved mood

Exercise has been called "the best thing we can do for our body."

We also need resistance training to build lean body tissue and strong bones. Resistance training increases the ability of our individual cells to accept sugar and insulin. Indeed, resistance training is seen by some as the antidote to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and osteoporosis.

Stress in - stress out!
Despite all the benefits of exercise, it must be recognized that exercise is stressful. Exercise is work; it is a struggle against gravity and in the end, gravity always wins! That said, there are nutrients that can help us succeed in the struggle against gravity and help us meet our desired objectives of fitness and wellness.

First, we need energy to exercise (and then exercise gives us energy). Energy comes from metabolism, and the sensation of being energetic is "stored" in the nerves.

Our polyphenol product Energy Now! helps convert about 200 calories of energy from stored reserves per serving. This is the amount of energy we need to walk about two miles.

Sublingual B-12 adds to our energy delivery system by nourishing the nerves. Have you ever had a day when you felt light as a feather? Conversely, have you ever had a day when you felt like you were weighted down with lead weight? Most of us have that experience from time to time. Much of the sensation of feeling energetic is related to the potential of our nerves to conduct energy. Vitamin B-12 facilitates that energy delivery so we have more "light as a feather" days.

Sublingual B-12 also helps in another way. When we exercise we contract one group of muscles and stretch an opposite group of muscles. Vitamin B-12 facilitates muscle stretching - so muscles can stretch with ease.

When muscles ache after exercise it is because we have exceeded the limits of the muscle group at that moment. As we learn to listen to our body we really have only two choices: either don't exercise so we will never feel that pain or take discomfort as a signal that we need to increase our nutrient reserves. Adaptogens are a group of nutrients from specific plants known to help us resist the stress of exercise while speeding a return to "normal" after exercise. Adaptogens are non-toxic by nature. So, if you find yourself sore after exercise, take more adaptogens!

Of course, pain is one of the cardinal signs of inflammation (pain, swelling, redness and heat accompanied by loss of function). Nopalea contains anti-inflammatory bioflavonoids called Betalains. Reducing inflammation quickly can help our body repair and return to normal function more quickly.

My routine
I am often asked about my exercise routine and the supplements I take. The answer really depends on what goal I am working on at the moment. If I am preparing for an event (like a bicycle race or triathlon) I will train every day, but I will only work out with weights twice a week. On the other hand, if I am preparing to hike the Grand Canyon, I may run a few miles a day but increase my weight training to five days a week. However, I always begin my workout routines with four ounces of Adaptogen 10 Plus and four ounces of Nopalea.

I use Healthy Aging supplements and add Energy Now! just before performing - it really gives me a boost!

I don't like to exercise but I really do like to play! As an adult my "play" is more structured and organized than when I was a kid. It is also much less frequent. Still, I know that the more I move, the more I will be able to move and the more I will enjoy activity. Conversely, the less I move, the less I will be able to move and the less I will want to move.

Happiness and self-esteem come from setting and achieving worthwhile goals. One worthwhile goal is to enjoy activity daily and use nutrients and nurturing to combat our inevitable opponent: stress! ***END of ARTICLE***

We all know how full life can be, no new surprises there. It's never ending day after day! We all have felt a little tired, got a little moody, or forget where we put things from time to time. No big deal right, it doesn't happen everyday or does it? The truth is many people have one or more of these symptoms on a daily basis. Sometimes it is due to medical reasons, often it is the lack or deficiency of B vitamins, specifically B-12 vitamins.

Although there are studies circulating that suggest B-12 vitamins do not help with fatigue, due to inconclusive evidence. Some important facts still remain, B-12 vitamins has a long history and a solid reputation as an energy booster, along with being the most important of the eight complex B vitamins.

Energy begins with the foods you eat. Your body burns the calories in your food, taking the energy released from the calories to produce specialized proteins called amino acids. These amino acids then go through a complex series of biochemical and electrical processes to create energy. In order to get the energy now you desire, a long series of events has to occur within your body. Each level requires energy from the step before it.

LPA goes on to feed the production of a brain chemical called phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA is the “hormone of love,” contributing to a feeling of endless energy. Do you remember when you were full of stamina, needed little sleep, perhaps even lost your appetite and experienced less pain. That is all attributable to PEA.

PEA donates some of its energy to create other, even more potent chemicals including L-dopa. L-dopa is a powerful but short-lived brain nutrient that quickly converts to dopamine.

The final step of energy production is called the dopamine cascade. It is at this stage that dopamine transforms into norepinephrine. norepinephrine donates energy to as many as four trillion nerve synapses from your head to your toes.

It’s from these four trillion “reservoirs” that energy is transported throughout your body. Factors such as stress, overwork, worry, poor diet and lack of sleep rob these reservoirs of the precious energy you need. So many people lack energy because one or more of these factors are a part of their daily lives.

Bring a bounce back to your step, a smile on your face, and know you are doing something wonderful for your bod! Bring back the zest for life and living with a high quality sublingual B-12 vitamin...You will be so glad you did!

Are you suffering from vitamin B12 deficiency? If so, you should start taking some sort of supplement to get your b12 levels back to a healthy and normal level. Many individuals, at the request of their doctors, turn to vitamin b12 shots. However, an alternative supplement can come in the form of sublingual vitamin B12. Many patients recommend this type of supplement because the effects are very noticeable and the benefits are quick.

In the late 1970s, Dr. Alfred Libby, renowned authority on therapeutic nutrition and longtime associate of Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling, began to explore an alternative delivery system for Vitamin B-12. The goal was to bypass the stomach where this essential nutrient is delivered into the bloodstream, but not easily absorbed.

In early spring of 1980, Dr. Libby approached his colleagues with his new theory that B-12 could be delivered to the bloodstream sublingually (under the tongue). Biochemists and his medical colleagues were quick to dismiss the idea. However, he was persistent and they eventually decided to give his theory a try, although they were convinced it would fail.

Six weeks later the first study was underway. Shortly after, Dr. Libby's Sublingual B-12 invention was deemed a complete success-blood levels of B-12 increased dramatically.

Many people have found success with Dr. Libby's patented sublingual vitamin b12. It is the number one selling product which is sold and distributed by TriVita.

With Dr. Libby's sublingual b12, all you have to do is place the pill underneath the tongue and leave it there until it's completely dissolved. Sublingual delivery causes the vitamin B12 to be quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. The results appear quicker than the conventional way, swallowing a pill and letting it go through your digestive system.

B12 supplements taken orally and absorbed through the digestive system usually takes hours to enter your system. However, as mentioned previously, that's not the case with the sublingual delivery system. Furthermore, as we age, our digestive systems have a harder time absorbing vitamin b12, which can lead to a b12 deficiency.

Why is vitamin b12 so important, and a deficiency so detrimental to our health?

Vitamin B-12 is an essential nutrient because we cannot thrive without it. We need Vitamin B-12 to make healthy blood, healthy nerves and a healthy brain. Vitamin B-12 insufficiency is implicated in a number of common conditions: from allergies and ADHD to bipolar disorder and Alzheimer's disease. Along with iron and Vitamin C, Vitamin B-12 is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies among seniors. You may actually be protected from a shrinking brain with healthy levels of Vitamin B-12.

Even with all the positive benefits listed above, I have not mentioned one of its main benefits, that it provides increased energy levels. Many individuals will tell you that they feel more energized shortly after taking a sublingual supplement.

Vitamin b12 is very important, and a deficiency can be detrimental to your health. So, if you're suffering from vitamin b12 deficiency, or you think you are, make an appointment to visit your doctor. If he concurs that you are b12 deficient, ask him if sublingual b12 supplementation is a viable option. If so, go to TriVita's Product page, and check out Sublingual B12.
