I have been taking the b12 complex sublingual for a while now! At first I was just taking it for a vitamin supplement because where I work at it is hard to good healthy food’s that’s ready to eat! Mostly fast foods around, and the healthy food’s are expensive.
Osmosis is now copying this video so sad to see. Hit report!!
Great way to learn I am a Nurse but am having B12 injections,yes to sore tongue horrible fatigue etc��
Bro I only came for the symptoms and I’m getting whole biochemistry lesson lol
Sir please change language this video in Hindi I don’t understand English sir
Animal products are fortified with B12. Its a microbe found in untreated water.
You mentioned SAM e…should we be taking that along with vitamin b?
Clear as mud, if only I didn’t have B12 deficiency I’d be able to understand that.
What is Erectodom Secrets? Does it work? I hear many individuals solve their erectile dysfunction problem with this popular erectile dysfunction treatment.
Dude! What about us vegetarians? And, us “old” vegetarians? We sort of have the deck stacked against us, don’t we? Thanks for the video and best of luck!
AFAIK, being celiac (issues caused by gluten/wheat), can cause issues with absorbtion, plus Proton Pump Inhibitors (used to treat excess acid).
This is just superb, been searching for “how to get more energy at work” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Qenason Energy Endorser (do a search on google )? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my colleague got amazing success with it.
What a great video from which I’ve learned a lot. But please tell me which form of B-12 intramuscular supplementation is the best: Methyl-, Hydroxior -Cyano-?
Subscribed!
Why folate should not be given in b12 defciency kindly explain
Having very dangerous form of dizziness and walking imbalance and breathlessness ��
Medicosis when is the best time to take B12 and can it be taken with B1 and B6 and Magnesium together?
The numbness in my hands is caused by the market drop, go vegan tell the Dr no meds needed; I’m putting a vegan sell order against big pharmaceutical
Great, I just found a bottle around from my dad. I swallowed some and now I’m spinning like a gravitron. Yaa, if it just was that easy…
Isnt Chromium Piccolinate more effective in transforming carbohydrites into engery than b12?
what is the normal range for b12. i am at 174 pg/ml. having lot of symptoms. am i deficient?
I got some lad work it’s showing my b12 is 377 and in the ranges says ppl with 400 less experienced symptoms. I been loosing hair my hand and feet get numb and cold, I have Poor circulation what should I do
For seven years I was experiencing off and on, hands and feet tingling, burning, pain, difficulty walking, extreme fatigue and depression. Countless visits to the ER and Dr. Office,checking for everything but B12. It then started where I had extreme difficulty getting dressed, had trouble feeding myself, could not write or hold a pen. Bending my neck sent electric shocks thru my body. Went to the hospital for MS testing. MRI, spinal tap, brain scan. After more testing, one Dr. checked my B12 level, it was 80. I spent 10 days in the hospital and 10 days in rehab. They were not sure if I would recover. Left untreated, B12 deficiency can cause permanent brain damage. I was lucky, everything reversed. Maybe if B12 METHYLCOBALAMIN were given early on, we might be able to help prevent MS and other brain and nerve related diseases.
If that one Dr. didn’t check my B12 level,I would have been misdiagnosed with MS, because the symptoms are the same.
B12 is vital for our health. It helps make DNA & RNA, your red blood cells.
Helps with Depression,Dementia,Sleep Disorders.
Helps with sleep-wake rhythm disorders (Circadian)
Protects &a rebuilds the Myelin sheath covering your nerve fibers.
Slows brain shrinkage up to 80%.
Lowers Homocysteine levels associated with heart disease.
If low levels are left unchecked, brain damage will occur and can become permanent.
Helps with age related macular degeneration.
By supplementing with sublingual Methylcobalmin B12 around 40 or 50 years of age, we could help prevent problems before they start.
Everyone should supplement and maintain blood levels of B12 in the range from 600 to 2000 pg/ml in order to avoid and, if this is the case, help recover from the wide range of problems that result from B12 deficiency or insufficiency. Health care practitioners: this is the first thing you should check for every patient that comes in, independently of their age or condition
Methylcobalamin: This is the neurologically active form of B12. It is technically a `coenzyme` of vitamin B12 and it is almost never prescribed by doctors despite being effective, readily available and inexpensive. It is also available in an injectable form. Degenerative neurological conditions are where methylcobalamin shows its greatest benefits over other cobalamin preparations. Brilliant news for MS’ers! Not only has Methylcobalamin been shown to work in neurologic diseases, it also helps with the elimination of toxic substances in the body.
I had severe anemia before I started taking Vitamin B12. Massive doses of iron weren’t fixing me and the doctors wanted to put me on medication to make my bone marrow create more red blood cells. Nope! I started on Vitamin B12 and my anemia is gone!
Why are animal sources the best? Arent the animals just supplemented?
Mostly great information but once loading injections injections stop symptoms may returns. Best to see how your doing as may need for a lifetime at regular amount depending on how severe symptoms are and how quickly they return.
Not all damage is iIrreversible and so treatment should be aggressive and long-term shots
some are lucky enough to switch to all or sublingual.
Don’t base your diagnosis purely on B12 serum look at homocystine and MMA as a certain level is not a gold standard and is set too low and range should probably be around 500-2000 for better health.
i testetd and i have b12 deficiency. if sombody has similar symptoms then let me know. i started with ibs C and i try to fic that with diet by eating fiber and less meat and mostlynplant abased. then i have insomnia once or twice in 8 months.then i had serious insomnia and sleep apnea. i went to doctor and tested i had b12 deficiency. if any bos has similar story then let me know.
Fun fact: it’s actually quite rare for a vegan to be B12 deficient these days. Plant-based milks and vegan products are now fortified with both B12 and folate
I had my vitamin B12 levels checked so I’m waiting on results. I told my doctor I sometimes feel pinches all over my body and she said it’s my nerves could be due to low B12.
I currently have B12 deficiency… my symptoms are: weakness, dizziness, numbness and tingling all over my body including the face constantly which is kind of scary thinking “wth is going on, a stroke??!! ” Fortunately, I got blood tests done and I have B12 and Folic Acid(B9) deficiency which causes Anemia with all the symptoms I described above.
The reason I am writting this is for your information:
I used to have GERD problems for a while (Gastroesophageal reflux disease), I used to take over the counter pills for the heartburn and then switched to Omeprazole which healed me, I also started a much “healthier diet” reducing meat, going more veggies and whole wheat grains, great! but………the stomach pills are the reason I have B12 deficiency because these kind of pills don’t let B12 get absorbed into your body after you eat, also I started my “healthy diet” at the worse timing, because by reducing meat, combined with the pills, I also reduced my B12 intake even more. My blood tests showed 155pg/mL of B12 which is very very low.
So watch out those who have GERD and take pills, increase your B12 intake before it’s too late it really sucks having all these numbness problems each and every day, they do take you down physically and psychologicaly
I am glad I figured all this out, and I hope I get better soon.

***This is an UPDATE after 7 months I made this comment… I was on B12 for 5 months straight daily, and now I am up to once every 1 or 2 weeks just to maintain the good B12 levels. I feel healthy and great, and even my mood went up! Thank you all for your support!
–
And I also want to say something, don’t take my comment above for granted.. always go to the doctor and get some tests done. I am not a doctor. I only trying to share my experience with you, maybe it will help some of you. Always get a doctor’s opinion about B12 and GERD and ask questions. B12 deficiency is very serious it wasn’t easy for me.. but fortunately I feel great now. Thank you all!
B12 is from a bacteria that forms on plants but due to chemicals we can’t get it from plants, we get it from animal products from the food they eat but in the modern day even what they eat is chemical filled and kills the bacteria that has b12
I really like your content and way of teaching! Whenever I have difficulty in learning I watch ur videos and it makes it so easy..
I have some questions To which protein is cobalamin bound in the liver? Is it still transcobalamin? Is it correct that amylase cleaves cobalamin and „animal protein“ as it actually serves as an enyzme for carbonhydrate metabolism? Thanks a lot!
Hi Osmosis, explain this one (if you can)…. Microcytic Megaloblastic Anemia……. Deficient in B12, B6, Folate and Iron…. (yes l said Microcytic MCV 75 with Megaloblastic Cells, MCV has been as low as 60 in the past)
Glucose doesn’t get used for energy with b12. It’s getting absorbed into your muscles so you reduce muscle cramps.
Hi, would you help me clarify if this anemia is or not hyperchromatic? In italian wikipedia page it says: “it used to be called hyperchromatic anemia” and one of my professors wants to hear “hyperchromatic” during the exam but i’m not sure:/
liver stores b12 for years. you are a shill
b12 is a bacteria poop.
Not true. Humans store B12. Another meat eater with fake news
Thank you so much for this sir. You have no idea how helpful this is to me right now.
Bullshit, The body stores B12 in the liver and it lasts for years. So, when you have B12 deficit you notice it a long time after your body has stopped absorbing it well. What a bullshit video. If you take too much you get a lot of undesirable side effects.
Thanks a lot!! Found a lot of other videos and books but none explained the topic in such a straightforward and concise manner.
I found out my levels are at 60 today and I’m 32 weeks pregnant. I’m getting shot tomorrow. Is it very dangerous
I’M A VEGAN CAUSE ANIMAL PROTIEN WAS MAKIN’ ME SICK. SO THEREFORE ANIMAL PROTIEN IS VERY BAD FOR U! PLANT PROTIEN IS BETTER FOR U!��������
Vitamin B12 is conspiracy by the meat industry.
I don’t believe in this vitamin B12 at all.
Why this vitamin B12 available only in animal products?
Total lie
energy booster? only if you have B12 deficiency and anemia.
I took a zipfizz when I started playing beach volleyball and finally after 3 months on keto I notice my energy come back. I was getting run down every time I played. So what was different??? I looked at the nutrition label I saw that it had a huge amount of vitamin B12. So now that I saw this video I will try B12 to see if my energy for my workouts come back. If u could make a video for high intensity training on keto (beach volleyball, basketball, triathlon training) that would be great. Love your channel.
I’ve been a vegan from 16 to 18 (2,5yrs) i allways took b12 supplements. But even now, more than a year later i star again to eat animal products i feel brainfog. May I have permanent brain damage?
Thank you Jesus and thank you Thomas
This helpful ��
God bless you
How does the microwave kill vitamin B12? Is it not overcooking or heating food that results in less nutritional food?
What if someone has a MTHFR mutation and can’t utilize the standard form of B12? Is it true that only methyl b12 is effective?
