The Basics On Vitamin B12
- In simple terms, Vitamin B12 is commonly known as cobalamin, a water-soluble vitamin involved in our metabolism. It is one of eight essential B vitamins (which we’ll explore in future blog posts).
Why We Need Vitamin B12
- Vitamin B12 is not a naturally occurring nutrient in plant-based foods. Hence vegans and vegetarians are at an increased risk of developing deficiency disorders if they don’t complimentNot all skin is created equal. The skin around the eyes is thin, making it particularly vulnerable to the effects of aging and sun damage. The skin on the neck is much more sensitive than the skin on the face with lower oil production and high sensitivity to textural changes and loss of elasticity. By contrast, the skin on the hands is regularly exposed to harsh elements and frequent sun exposure leading to increased UV damage and sun-spots.
- Methylation is a very important mechanism for ensuring a functional system. Our body is a very complicated machine, which requires a wide array of switches and gears to function properly in order to perform optimally.
- B vitamins play a pivotal role in maintaining a healthy and functioning human body. Imbalances in their normal levels can lead to severe health disorders with numerous associated complications. It is essential to beware of practices that can lead to the deficiency of essential nutrients -this can be through certain dietary habits or drug-induced.
Our Body Needs Cobalamin (Mineral Cobalt) For:
- DNA synthesis
- Creating new red blood cells
- Protein and fat metabolism
- Neurological/brain functions
- Cobalamin is naturally found in foods like fish, dairy products, meat, and especially beef liver. This vitamin is extremely important for synthesizing blood cells and ensuring optimal health of nerve cells. The most common B12 deficiency disorder is anemia [1]. Other characteristic symptoms of cobalamin deficiency include fatigue, weakness, weight loss, constipation, and loss of appetite. Inadequate levels of vitamin B12 can also cause major damage to the nervous system – leading to confusion, depression, and dementia in the long run.
- Methylation is a biochemical process that transfers a chemical unit called methyl (CH3) from one substance to another.
- When this process occurs, that particular area of DNA is said to be methylated. The methylation process has a significant impact on numerous biochemical & metabolic reactions that play a crucial role in regulating the activity of the neurological, cardiovascular, detoxification, reproductive systems, including those relating to:
- Histamine metabolism
- DNA production
- Neurotransmitter synthesis
- Estrogen metabolism
- Liver health
- Fat metabolism
- Methylcobalamin is a very critical form of activated vitamin B. It is used to treat vitamin B12 deficiency [3].
- Cobalamin is an integral component for ensuring a healthy brain, nervous system, and proper production of red blood cells.
