Benefits of Vitamin B 12
An excellent supplement that I’ve been taking recently and noticed a big difference is Vitamin B 12.
I am normally tormented by PMS symptoms on a monthly basis, but this time around it’s been less so. A combination of more exercise and adding Vitamin B 12 has really helped.
B 12 can be found naturally in calf liver, clams, mussels, sardines, and salmon. It’s not likely that I eat these type of food daily, so the next best thing is supplements.
Signs of vitamin B 12 deficiency include fatigue and depression. Vitamin B 12 is essential to our health as it involves the development of red blood cells. Long term deficiency can lead to anemia and cause damage to the central nervous system.
The best one to take is Methylcobalamin (Methyl B-12) because it is better absorbed and retained than other forms of B12.
- Methyl B-12 protects nerve tissue and brain cells
- promotes better sleep and reduces toxic homocysteine to the essential amino acid methionine
- Aids digestion by allowing food to absorb properly
- Improves energy levels
Give vitamin B 12 a try and see if it makes a difference. Vitamin B12 can be found at many health food store or online shops.
Other popular ways of getting vitamin B 12 supplements is with B 12 shots. But that requires a doctor’s prescription and usually not covered by insurance. And there’s also the *ouch* factor from needles.
