Why Does Your Body Need B12 Vitamin
2
Introduction

• Searching the long list of vitamins and their
  role in your body can be hard if you dont know
  what you are looking for. Also, some vitamins are
  better understood than others While you may
  understand the benefits of vitamin C, D, E K,
  chances are youre a little less familiar with B
  vitamins, especially B12 and what they do.

• Vitamin B12 came into the spotlight right after
  the celebrities started posting about their B12
  shots. People are going hysterical about taking
  B12, without seeing if they even need it.
• Before settling for the hype, you need to know
  what vitamin B12 is and what its role is in our
  body. Here we discuss if you are falling off the
  optimal levels and what to do if you are.

What Is Vitamin B12?
5

• Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble micronutrient
  thats found commonly in many animal foods that
  you eat. It is one of the 8 B vitamins. All B
  vitamins help the body convert carbohydrates into
  glucose, thus adding energy to body cells. These
  B-complex vitamins also aid the body in using
  fats and proteins.
• We cant emphasize more about the importance of B
  vitamins for promoting healthy skin, hair, eyes,
  and liver.

6

• There are several forms of B12, but most of them
  contain the mineral cobalt, as per the National
  Institutes of Health (NIH). This allows
  scientists to study these nutrients as they
  pertain not only to vitamin B12 status, so we can
  learn how it affects everything from health to
  cognition, absorption, and digestion but also
  ways to inhibit chronic diseases like dementia
  and cancer through better governance of your body.

Role of Vitamin B12 In Our Body

• Apart from nourishing nerve cells, vitamin B12
  helps in the production of DNA and RNA. Working
  closely with vitamin B9, B12 helps in making red
  blood cells and regulates iron quantity
  throughout your body. Together, they produce
  S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) , a vital compound
  for immune function and mood regulation.
• Vitamins B12, B6, and B9 work closely in
  regulating amino acid homocysteine levels in the
  blood.

• If someone has heart disease, their homocysteine
  levels ought to pop up. However, its not still
  clear if homocysteine is a cause of heart disease
  or just a signal that someone might have heart
  disease.
• While the shortage of vitamin B12 is found rarely
  in young adults, its just very common for
  elderly people to get mild deficiencies.
• It could be because of their diets low in B12 or
  they might have less stomach acid, which the body
  needs to absorb B12. Weve noted down the most
  eminent ranges of symptoms in people falling
  short in vitamin B12.

Symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiency

• Fatigue
• Shortness of breath
• Diarrhea
• Nervousness
• Numbness
• Tingling sensation in the fingers and toes
• Severe deficiency of B12 causes nerve damage.

10
Who Is At Risk?

• Vegans Those munching only on a plant-based diet
  are possibly going to miss vitamin B12, as most
  of it comes through animal sources.
• People who are prone to absorbing nutrients
  because of Crohns disease, pancreatic disease,
  weight loss surgery, or medications.
• Individuals infected with Helicobacter pylori
  that cause ulcers have lower B12 levels. H.
  Pylori damages stomach cells that make intrinsic
  factors, a substance the body needs to absorb
  B12.
• Those with HIV, Diabetes.
• Aged people run low in vitamin B12.
• Too much consumption of vitamin B9.

11
Medical Uses of Vitamin B12
12

• Vitamin B12 is commonly used in treating
• Pernicious anemia- Six patients with pernicious
  anemia were given daily inhalation as smoking
  vitamins can help in a rapid rise in its level.
  The therapy worked in complete clinical and
  hematological remission of vitamin B12.
• Heart disease- B-complex vitamins, especially
  vitamin B12, help lower homocysteine levels.
  People who are concerned about heart disease
  should try to get enough B vitamins from healthy
  foods.
• Male infertility- Research shows that vitamin B12
  supplements improve sperm counts and its ability
  to swim. Scientists confirm more research in this
  aspect.

13
Pulmonary Diffusion Defects-

• Cyanocobalamin was provided to patients with
  pulmonary diffusion defects in vitamin B12
  inhalers. Each of the groups reported having a
  raise in B12 levels, therefore suggesting
  absorption had occurred by diffusion through the
  lung alveoli.

14
Breast cancer-

• As vitamin B12 works with folate in the body, it
  might help reduce breast cancer chances. A
  preliminary study suggested that post-menopause
  in women having the lowest amounts of B12 in
  their diet had an increased risk for breast
  cancer.

15
Most Efficient Form Of Taking Vitamin B12

• Though animal-based food sources form the chief
  source of vitamin B12, it isnt an effective way
  of absorption. Some people with malabsorption
  issues fail at meeting the optimum level.
• With science developing at such a mad level, we
  have vitamin vapes available for quicker
  absorption and more effective B12 induction in
  our bodies.

16
Conclusion

• One can keep vitamin B12 vape pens, for instance.
  They are easy to carry and grip around. The
  inhalation science leads back millennia and can
  be used by all age groups.
• Thanks to technological advances, for coming up
  with such a compelling alternative.
• So humanity can bloom.
