vitamin b12 benefits

Vitamin B 12 helps to fight the symptoms of depression –

Studies have found that in approximately three out of ten patients hospitalized for depression, the patient was lacking sufficient vitamin B 12 levels.

Alzheimer’s – As many as 1 in 5 patients exhibiting early signs of memory loss and even Alzheimer’s were shown to be deficient in vitamin B12 levels. These patients significantly reduced the speed of memory loss, and in many cases reversed the symptoms of early Alzheimer’s with the proper doses of Vitamin B12.

Testing for Vitamin B12 deficiency should be a regular screening practice for older individuals, due to the decrease in an older body’s ability to properly absorb Vitamin B12 through known food sources rich in Vitamin B12.
