Vitamin B-12

Vitamin B-12 is an important vitamin that you usually get from your food. It is mainly found in meat and dairy products. Vitamin B-12 helps make red blood cells and keeps your nervous system working properly.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can become a major problem, not just for vegans, for many individuals. And it usually results from inadequate absorption of the nutrients in the digestive system. Stress does interfere with B12 absorption> However, "impaired absorption is typically rooted to the inability of the body to absorb vitamin B12 due to recurring or external factors such as aging, complication, diseases, and other infections.

Out of all the external factors that lead to impaired absorption, I believe age is actually what leads to our largest vitamin b-12 deficiency problem. This also leads to a major healthcare system problem. Why? As the largest portion of our population (the baby-boomers) continues to age the number of vitamin b-12 deficiency is bound to increase, because the older you get the harder it is for the body to absorb this nutrient.

A lot of doctors recommend vitamin b12 shots over other oral tablets. However, TriVita's patented Sublingual Vitamin B12 may provide the proper supply of this all important vitamin.

Vitamin B-12

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 B-12 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.

Vitamin B-12 Deficiency Symptoms

Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms, like those of many other treatable health conditions, can be virtually identical to age dementia symptoms, senile dementia symptoms and Alzheimers symptoms. As many as 20% of people over age 65 have low Vitamin B12 levels. Correcting the deficiency can help older people resume a full and normal lives.

Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms include:

Loss of appetite

Diarrhea

Numbness and tingling of hands and feet

Paleness

Shortness of breath

Fatigue

Weakness

Sore mouth and tongue

Confusion or change in mental status in severe or advanced cases. This is sometimes confused with dementia. More importantly, even a moderate deficiency of this important vitamin and its counterpart, folic acid, may ultimate contribute to the onset of Alzheimers disease or other related dementias

What Triggers Inflammation?

First off, we have to understand inflammation. So, we have to answer the question, what is inflammation? "Inflammation is a process by which the body's white blood cells and chemicals protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses." So you may be wondering, what triggers inflammation? There are four basic triggers; trauma, deficiency, stress, and toxins. As we move along, we will take a look at each of the four basic triggers, and then look at how we can deal with inflammation.

When we mention the word "trauma", the first thing that probably comes to mind is an accident which causes some sort of serious or critical bodily injury. Trauma is typically associated with pain and suffering as a direct result of that injury. Even though most inflammation causes pain and/or suffering, inflammation can be a good thing, because inflammation is a natural part of the healing process. As a matter of fact, "without inflammation, wounds and infections would never heal."

Our bodily cells are alive. By many scientists, they are called the "building block of life" Cells are constantly changing, and they are directly affected by everything we do. They grow or change according to the foods we eat. Starving (deficiency) our cells of the proper vitamins, minerals, and nutrients causes our cells to become inefficient, even to the point where they break down. Thus deficiencies can and do happen, weakening the cells causing a chain reaction within our body, ultimately triggering inflammation.

Emotional stress can also cause inflammation. It's been noted that in stressful situations our brain releases chemicals, stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol), that trigger the release of many inflammatory processes. Because of the widespread damage stress can cause, like inflammation, it's important to know your own limit. However, how much stress is "too much" differs from person to person. many individuals can roll with the punches, while others fall apart at the slightest sign of frustration.

Research points to the fact that we live in a toxic world, and that our bodies are swimming in toxins. Toxins are every where you turn. They are in every breath we take and the food that we eat. Some foods are contaminated with heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, or other chemicals.

I've even read that foods that carry toxic compounds "can cause the body to hold on to extra pounds by starting an immune reaction that causes inflammation," Toxins created inside and outside our bodies is seemingly unescapable, which leads us to believe that there is no escape from inflammation producing poison.

Our bodies are truly amazing as it can respond to trauma, deficiency, stress and toxins with inflammation. As mentioned inflammation is the bodies natural healing process, but where it all goes wrong is with runaway (chronic) inflammation wherein the body can't shut it down causing auto immune, and many other, diseases.

So how do we keep inflammation in check? According to TriVita's Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew, we should learn to become a partner with our bodies. We need to watch for the signs that can trigger inflammation. we should also reduce basic nutrient deficiencies by eating healthy foods and taking quality supplements. One aggressive inflammation fighter is found in the nutrient called Betalains, the main nutrient found in TriVita's Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.

We need to walk, run, stretch, and become more active. Activity and/or exercise in any form keeps your mind alert, blood flowing, and muscles moving. We also need to ease our emotional stress and learn how to relax. Anything we can do to help fight off the triggers that cause inflammation will help us live longer and healthier lives.

Sonoran Bloom is destined to become one of the top selling products for TriVita. To learn more about TriVita and/or Sonoran Bloom, click on this Sonoran Bloom link.

B12 Vitamins

We all have felt a little tired, got a little moody, or forget where we put things from time to time. No big deal right, it doesn't happen everyday or does it? The truth is many people have one or more of these symptoms on a daily basis. Sometimes it is due to medical reasons, often it is the lack or deficiency of B vitamins, specifically 13478787 .

What is it?

B12 and folate are B complex vitamins that are necessary for normal red blood cell formation, tissue and cellular repair, and DNA synthesis. A and/or folate deficiency reflects a chronic shortage of one or both of these vitamins. Since the body stores 3 to 5 years worth of B12 B12 and several months’ supply of folate in the liver, deficiencies and their associated symptoms can take months to years to manifest in adults. Infants and children will show signs of deficiency more rapidly, however, as they have not yet established extensive reserves.

B12 is properly maintaining your nervous system and helping to keep nerve cells healthy. This in turn keeps your brain functioning the way it should. B vitamins also assists in the production and regulation of DNA, which is present in every cell in your body. And since this nutrient is also a very strong antioxidant, it helps fight off free radicals which can lead to cancer. It is important that your body gets some vitamin B12 every day. It helps metabolize the food you eat so you can utilize it for energy. It does this by helping turn the carbohydrates in your food to glucose. When the glucose is released into your system, it gives you energy. Many people who struggle with fatigue and low energy often have a vitamin B12 deficiency.

A simple fact still remains, your body requires B-12 vitamins to function properly, along with many other nutrients. As we grow older our bodies are less able to pull B-12, a precious resource from some of the foods most rich in it. This becomes a real problem for many people, even those that do in fact eat a well balanced diet, including foods rich in B-12. Therefore, it has long been stated that in order to reach your daily requirement of B-12 it should be taken in a quality supplement.

Over time, a deficiency in either B12 or folate can lead to macrocytic anemia, a condition characterized by the production of fewer, but larger red blood cells and a decreased ability to carry oxygen. Due to the anemia, patients may be weak, light-headed, and short of breath. A deficiency in B12 can also result in varying degrees of neuropathy, nerve damage that can cause tingling and numbness in the patient’s hands and feet and mental changes that range from confusion and irritability to severe dementia.

Our bodies along with our cells eventually die, thus when a cell dies, the stem cells made in your bone marrow and other parts of our bodies are released back through a chemical trail to the dead cell, basically transforming to the type of cell it is to replace. For me it explains a lot about the aging process because it is defined as cell death and cell replacement. Further demonstrating why some people age prematurely, because stem cells cannot keep up daily with the demand of dead cells. Too many dead cells, not enough stem cells to keep up. On the flip side, if stem cells are not under such extreme demands on a daily basis, and an adequate amount can be produced daily you age slower. A healthy human being is less likely to experience chronic diseases associated with premature aging. Obviously, having a whole lot of stem cells is a very good thing indeed!

Pregnant women need increased amounts of folate for proper fetal development. If a woman has a folate deficiency prior to pregnancy, it will be intensified during gestation and may lead to premature birth and neural tube birth defects, such as spina bifida, in the child.
