Don’t write those off to just “getting older”; it could be something simple and curable, such as being deficient in Vitamin B12.
Vitamin B12 was once thought as only a challenge for the elderly or vegetarians; but a recent study shows that almost 40% of Americans (of all ages, whether vegetarians or not) have vitamin B12 deficiencies…which means almost everyone is at risk.
Why do we need it? Vitamin B12 is usually known as the “energy vitamin”, and is essential of course, for energy production. However, it is also necessary for DNA synthesis and blood formation, and is needed to form myelin, the protective insulation which surrounds nerve endings and helps nerves “talk” to each other. Without vitamin B12, myelin can break down and cause symptoms which mimic multiple sclerosis, depression or dementia.
Other Common Symptoms of Deficiency:
* poor memory and mental fogginess
* loss of motivation and apathy
* mood swings
* low energy
* fatigue
* Muscle weakness
* soreness or redness of the tongue
* lack of coordination
* hair loss
* tingling, numbness or crawling sensations in the arms, legs or feet
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, contact your healthcare provider for a B12 blood check.
Vitamin B12 is essential to life and good health, and must be consumed in our foods, but nutritional supplements like B12-2000 Lozenges or B12- Folate Plus can help.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is preventable and treatable. Correcting a deficiency may be just what you need to perk up your memory, mood and overall well-being.
