The 5 Affects B12 Has on Your Health

1. Mood Swings
2. Digestive Problems
3. Red Cell Function
4. Immune Function
5. Memory/Concentration

You might ask, why do we lack this vitamin, information about it has been around forever? The answer is multiple, our food is less nutritious, we lack exercise, we eat and drink to much acidic stuff (coffee, sodas), smoking and fast foods. These are just to name a few of our so called "Advanced Society" deficiencies.

Malabsorbtion is to blame.

Malabsorbtion - the inability to extract nutrients from foods and supplements needed for good heath.

This affects both young and old alike. Malabsorbtion is not limited to vitamin B12, it can happen with all foods and even supplements. Fortunately B12 now comes in a spray form and the injection form is still available. The problem is who cares? How often does your doctor check for this deficiency? How many people even relate memory loss or attention disorders to this vitamin. The answer is not many.
