Why “B” Good to Yourself

B vitamins are nature’s “feel-good” vitamins, affecting your energy and vitality as well as your mood and memory. In fact, they are critical to your health and the functioning of your body.
B vitamins help with:

* Sustained mental energy
* Improved mood
* Mental focus and clarity
* Improved memory
* Nerve sheath repair

The nervous system is your body’s super highway, transporting energy and information between your brain and cells. B12 benefits are like the cellular repair team, filling in potholes and smoothing out the ruts so everything zips along. Not enough B12 and the potholes and problems begin to build. And the energy highway slows to a crawl.

You might experience this as brain fog: a lack of focus and memory loss that can leave you feeling sluggish, irritable, anxious or downright blue. B12 repairs this super highway.

Age, stress, digestive problems and other things can prevent B12 from being absorbed in your body. This can lead to a B12 deficiency.

The symptoms of B12 deficiency

These are just some of the characteristic signs of vitamin B12 deficiency, according to the National Institutes of Health.

* Fatigue
* Weakness
* Nausea
* Constipation
* Irritability
* Incontinence
* Dementia
* Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
* Loss of appetite
* Paleness
* Shortness of breath

Untreated, some symptoms can become permanent and lead to severe systemic disorders.

The causes of B12 deficiency

The dietary absorption of vitamin B12 is complex. It’s not just a matter of swallowing a bunch of it (dietary or supplemental) and letting the guts do the work. There is something called “intrinsic factor” which is made in certain cells in the stomach that must be present in order for B12 to be absorbed at a point in the very end of the small intestine (the ileum).

The main sources of B12 include meat, eggs and dairy products. Acids in the stomach separate the B12 from the protein source, at which point it must combine with intrinsic factor. The vitamin B12/intrinsic factor complex travels through the intestine and is absorbed in the terminal ileum by cells with specific receptors for the complex. The absorbed complex is then transported via plasma and stored in the liver. The interruption of one or any combination of these steps places a person at risk of developing deficiency.
