Vitamin B12 Is Essencial

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, 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.

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.

Although there are many B vitamin tablets available on the market, B12 is very poorly absorbed into the body by oral means. Blood levels of B12 increase only slightly after these tablets pass through the digestive system.

B12 injections:

Doctors have relied on B12 shots for years to treat serious B12 deficiencies. Though most of the vitamin B12 from large intramuscular doses is lost in the urine, injections have still traditionally been the best method of treatment. The shots, however, can be embarrassing; difficult to provide for some patients who are elderly or living alone; and painful and expensive if provided by a health care professional.
