Vitamin B-12

Are you suffering from vitamin B12 deficiency? If so, you should start taking some sort of supplement to get your b12 levels back to a healthy and normal level. Many individuals, at the request of their doctors, turn to vitamin b12 shots. However, an alternative supplement can come in the form of sublingual vitamin B12. Many patients recommend this type of supplement because the effects are very noticeable and the benefits are quick.

In the late 1970s, Dr. Alfred Libby, renowned authority on therapeutic nutrition and longtime associate of Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling, began to explore an alternative delivery system for Vitamin B-12. The goal was to bypass the stomach where this essential nutrient is delivered into the bloodstream, but not easily absorbed.

In early spring of 1980, Dr. Libby approached his colleagues with his new theory that B-12 could be delivered to the bloodstream sublingually (under the tongue). Biochemists and his medical colleagues were quick to dismiss the idea. However, he was persistent and they eventually decided to give his theory a try, although they were convinced it would fail.

Six weeks later the first study was underway. Shortly after, Dr. Libby's Sublingual B-12 invention was deemed a complete success-blood levels of B-12 increased dramatically.

Many people have found success with Dr. Libby's patented sublingual vitamin b12. It is the number one selling product which is sold and distributed by TriVita.

With Dr. Libby's sublingual b12, all you have to do is place the pill underneath the tongue and leave it there until it's completely dissolved. Sublingual delivery causes the vitamin B12 to be quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. The results appear quicker than the conventional way, swallowing a pill and letting it go through your digestive system.

B12 supplements taken orally and absorbed through the digestive system usually takes hours to enter your system. However, as mentioned previously, that's not the case with the sublingual delivery system. Furthermore, as we age, our digestive systems have a harder time absorbing vitamin b12, which can lead to a b12 deficiency.

Why is vitamin b12 so important, and a deficiency so detrimental to our health?

Vitamin B-12 is an essential nutrient because we cannot thrive without it. We need Vitamin B-12 to make healthy blood, healthy nerves and a healthy brain. Vitamin B-12 insufficiency is implicated in a number of common conditions: from allergies and ADHD to bipolar disorder and Alzheimer's disease. Along with iron and Vitamin C, Vitamin B-12 is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies among seniors. You may actually be protected from a shrinking brain with healthy levels of Vitamin B-12.

Even with all the positive benefits listed above, I have not mentioned one of its main benefits, that it provides increased energy levels. Many individuals will tell you that they feel more energized shortly after taking a sublingual supplement.

Vitamin b12 is very important, and a deficiency can be detrimental to your health. So, if you're suffering from vitamin b12 deficiency, or you think you are, make an appointment to visit your doctor. If he concurs that you are b12 deficient, ask him if sublingual b12 supplementation is a viable option. If so, go to TriVita's Product page, and check out Sublingual B12.
