Vitamin B-12 Injections: Increases Energy, Improves Concentration and Memory

 

Vitamin B-6 Injections: Has effect of Physical and Mental Health

 

Methionine is an essential amino acid that is a major lipotropic compound in humans. The body requires more methionine when the levels of estrogen are high. Estrogens reduce bile flow through the liver and increase bile cholesterol levels while methionine helps to deactivate estrogen’s. Methionine levels also affect the amount of sulfur-containing compounds, such as glutathione, in the liver. Glutathione and other sulfur-containing peptides (small proteins) play a critical role in defending against toxic compounds. When higher levels of toxic compounds are present, more methionine is needed. Without lipotropics such as choline and inositol, fats and bile can become trapped in the liver, causing severe problems such as cirrhosis and blocking fat metabolism.

 

Choline is essential for fat metabolism. Choline functions as a methyl donor and it is required for proper liver function. Like inositol, cholin is a lipotropic.

 

Inositol exerts lipotropic effects as well. An “unofficial” member of the B vitamins, inositol has even been shown to relieve depression and panic attacks.

 

Why do we add Vitamin B?

 

Vitamin B12, also known by the scientific name cobalamin, is water-soluble. Unlike other water-soluble vitamins, B12 doesn’t exit your body quickly in urine. It is stored in your liver, kidneys and other body tissues. As a result, a deficiency may not show itself for a number of years, depending on your diet and your body’s ability to efficiently absorb B12.

 

This time lag is a serious concern, because after about seven years of B12 deficiency, irreversible brain damage can result.

 

Vitamin B12 is a powerhouse micronutrient for a whole host of reasons. Your body needs B12 for:

 

• proper digestion, food absorption, iron use, carbohydrate and fat metabolism

• healthy nervous system function

• promotion of normal nerve growth and development

• help with regulation of the formation of red blood cells

• cell formation and longevity

• proper circulation

• adrenal hormone production

• healthy immune system function

• support of female reproductive health and pregnancy

• feelings of well-being and mood regulation

• physical, emotional and mental energy

 

As you can see from this list, your B12 level impacts a number of very important systems in your body — everything from your DNA to how happy you feel. If you think you might be deficient in this vitamin, you need to take steps to get your B12 levels into the healthy range.

 

I’ll discuss the proper test to determine your B12 blood level as well as the latest information on what constitutes a healthy range a little later in this article.

 

Symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiency

 

If you don’t have adequate vitamin B12 levels in your bloodstream, you might notice some of the following warning signs:

 

• mental fogginess

• problems with your memory

• mood swings

• lack of motivation

• feelings of apathy

• fatigue and a lack energy

• muscle weakness

• tingling in your extremities

 

One of the most important functions of vitamin B12 is building the myelin which insulates and protects your nerve endings and allows them to communicate with one another.

 

If you’re B12 deficient and your myelin is depleted, you can experience health problems as widespread as depression, dementia and even symptoms which mimic multiple sclerosis
