TriVita: B-12 Deficiency – Its undesirable results and risk factors

TriVita: B-12 Deficiency – Its undesirable results and risk factors

By Scott Conard, M.D.

 

You don’t want to be deficient in B-12 for a number of reasons.  First of all, if you are over 30, a B-12 deficiency can cause actual brain erosion.  Futhermore, a severe B-12 deficiency depletes your energy stores.  Finally, it can also lead to these undesirable conditions:

 

Irritability, personality change

Brain fog

Depression

Heart disease

Brain erosion

Psychosis

Dementia.

 

 

So how do B-12 deficiencies come about?  In life, there are quite a few risk factors that can contribute to it.  Things such as:

 

Stress

Less ability to absorb B-12 after age 40

Certain prescription drugs

Extreme fatigue or anemia

Elevated homocysteine levels

Vegetarian lifestyle

Gastric surgery or disease

Digestive or intestinal problems.

 

 

To help overcome these risk factors, I strongly suggest supplementing your diet with TriVita’s Super Sublingual B-12 each and every day.  That way, you’ll be helping to protect yourself from a B-12 deficiency and its very real dangers
