 Major Roles of Vitamin B12
B12 is needed to help:
• Increase mental clarity and memory
• Fight depression
• Strengthen nerve integrity
• Maintain fertility
• Enhance strength
• Encourage strong digestion
• Promote normal growth and development
Dibencozide is the only fully reacted co-enzyme of vitamin B12. This
co-enzyme dramatically helps in the assimilation of B12 orally. Body
builders have used dibencozide for years as an effective and even safer
form of vitamin B12 than the injectable versions. For increased mental
clarity, to fight depression, to enhance strength, and to restore and
maintain great health, dibencozide has a proven track record in close
to 80% of our cases.
Vitamin B12 plays an important role in cell formation and cellular
longevity. It is essential for normal formation of red blood cells.
Vitamin B12 is required for release of energy, maintenance of epithelial
cells (cells which form the skin’s outer layer and the surface layer of
mucus membranes), proper digestion, absorption of foods, protein
synthesis, metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, and maintenance of
the nervous system.
Widespread B12 Deficiency
Deficiency of vitamin B12 is common. It can be caused by malabsorption, often seen in those with digestive disorders as well
as the elderly. Many who have poor food quality or food choices may also experience B12 deficiency. Deficiency of vitamin
B12 is associated with elevated homocysteine levels (reflective of poor health). When B12 is supplemented, homocysteine
levels decrease.
Sources Of Vitamin B12
For most people, it is very difficult to get enough B12 from their diet because the sources of B12 are mostly high calorie foods
which can lead to overweight (such as cheese, milk, nuts and seeds). A lesser known natural source high in B12 is sprouts,
but more difficult to obtain or eat in large amounts.
Symptoms of B12 Deficiency
Deficiency symptoms of vitamin B12 include nerve problems (such as nerve damage, difficulty walking, abnormal or altered
skin sensations), mental problems (such as depression, foggy thinking, memory loss, hallucinations), blood problems (such
as anemia), poor growth and development, eye disorders, infertility and digestive disorders.
Warning: Certain medications, such as anti-gout drugs and anti-coagulants, can block absorption of B12 in the digestive
tract.
Recommended Use
Typically, adults take one capsule daily with food (one capsule = 5 mg). |
