B12 Vitamins
We all have felt a little tired, got a little moody, or forget where we put things from time to time. No big deal right, it doesnt happen everyday or does it? The truth is many people have one or more of these symptoms on a daily basis. Sometimes it is due to medical reasons, often it is the lack or deficiency of B vitamins, specifically Trivita B-12 vitamins.
What is it?
B12 and folate are B complex vitamins that are necessary for normal red blood cell formation, tissue and cellular repair, and DNA synthesis. A B12 and/or folate deficiency reflects a chronic shortage of one or both of these vitamins. Since the body stores 3 to 5 years worth of B12 and several months supply of folate in the liver, deficiencies and their associated symptoms can take months to years to manifest in adults. Infants and children will show signs of deficiency more rapidly, however, as they have not yet established extensive reserves.
B12 is properly maintaining your nervous system and helping to keep nerve cells healthy. This in turn keeps your brain functioning the way it should. B vitamins also assists in the production and regulation of DNA, which is present in every cell in your body. And since this nutrient is also a very strong antioxidant, it helps fight off free radicals which can lead to cancer. It is important that your body gets some vitamin B12 every day. It helps metabolize the food you eat so you can utilize it for energy. It does this by helping turn the carbohydrates in your food to glucose. When the glucose is released into your system, it gives you energy. Many people who struggle with fatigue and low energy often have a vitamin B12 deficiency.
A simple fact still remains, your body requires Trivita B-12 vitamins to function properly, along with many other nutrients. As we grow older our bodies are less able to pull Trivita B-12, a precious resource from some of the foods most rich in it. This becomes a real problem for many people, even those that do in fact eat a well balanced diet, including foods rich in Trivita B-12. Therefore, it has long been stated that in order to reach your daily requirement of Trivita B-12 it should be taken in a quality supplement.
Over time, a deficiency in either B12 or folate can lead to macrocytic anemia, a condition characterized by the production of fewer, but larger red blood cells and a decreased ability to carry oxygen. Due to the anemia, patients may be weak, light-headed, and short of breath. A deficiency in B12 can also result in varying degrees of neuropathy, nerve damage that can cause tingling and numbness in the patients hands and feet and mental changes that range from confusion and irritability to severe dementia.
Our bodies along with our cells eventually die, thus when a cell dies, the stem cells made in your bone marrow and other parts of our bodies are released back through a chemical trail to the dead cell, basically transforming to the type of cell it is to replace. For me it explains a lot about the aging process because it is defined as cell death and cell replacement. Further demonstrating why some people age prematurely, because stem cells cannot keep up daily with the demand of dead cells. Too many dead cells, not enough stem cells to keep up. On the flip side, if stem cells are not under such extreme demands on a daily basis, and an adequate amount can be produced daily you age slower. A healthy human being is less likely to experience chronic diseases associated with premature aging. Obviously, having a whole lot of stem cells is a very good thing indeed!
Pregnant women need increased amounts of folate for proper fetal development. If a woman has a folate deficiency prior to pregnancy, it will be intensified during gestation and may lead to premature birth and neural tube birth defects, such as spina bifida, in the child.

We all have felt a little tired, got a little moody, or forget where we put things from time to time. No big deal right, it doesn't happen everyday or does it? The truth is many people have one or more of these symptoms on a daily basis. Sometimes it is due to medical reasons, often it is the lack or deficiency of B vitamins, specifically B-12 vitamins.
Although there are studies circulating that suggest B-12 vitamins do not help with fatigue, due to inconclusive evidence. Some important facts still remain, B-12 vitamins has a long history and a solid reputation as an energy booster, along with being the most important of the eight complex B vitamins.
A simple fact still remains, your body requires B-12 vitamins to function properly, along with many other nutrients. As we grow older our bodies are less able to pull B-12, a precious resource from some of the foods most rich in it. This becomes a real problem for many people, even those that do in fact eat a well balanced diet, including foods rich in B-12. Therefore, it has long been stated that in order to reach your daily requirement of B-12 it should be taken in a quality supplement.
B12 benefits your body in many ways. One of its key functions is to help your body in the creation of red blood cells. These cells help carry oxygen to your vital organs, including your heart and brain. This oxygen is crucial in providing you the necessary energy to get through each day. B12 also helps with white cell production, which is important to keeping your immune system strong, which in turn keeps you healthy.
B12 is properly maintaining your nervous system and helping to keep nerve cells healthy. This in turn keeps your brain functioning the way it should. B vitamins also assists in the production and regulation of DNA, which is present in every cell in your body. And since this nutrient is also a very strong antioxidant, it helps fight off free radicals which can lead to cancer. It is important that your body gets some vitamin B12 every day. It helps metabolize the food you eat so you can utilize it for energy. It does this by helping turn the carbohydrates in your food to glucose. When the glucose is released into your system, it gives you energy. Many people who struggle with fatigue and low energy often have a vitamin B12 deficiency.
So there you go, just some of the many great reasons to take in B-12 daily. Some foods rich in B-12 are: liver, sardines, eggs, some breakfast cereals if it is fortified with B-12. Remember that eating these foods rich in B-12 doesn't always mean you are getting the recommended daily dose, so taking a good quality B-12 supplement can't hurt. B-12 is a water soluble vitamin and has no real side effects if you take too much.
Bring a bounce back to your step, a smile on your face, and know you are doing something wonderful for your bod! Bring back the zest for life and living with a high quality sublingual B-12 vitamin...You will be so glad you did!

Patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome share many similarities in symptoms associated with both these very painful disorders. Along with sharing many of the same symptoms, both have no known cause, nor is there a cure for either one.
It can be very hard to distinguish one from the other, because it is estimated that up to seventy percent of those diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome can also fall under the guidelines of fibromyalgia and vice versa. Even doctors can become confused, because people with chronic fatigue syndrome have pain associated, which is one of the main symptoms of fibromyalgia. On the reverse those with fibromyalgia have symptoms of fatigue which is a big factor for those afflicted with chronic fatigue syndrome. You can easily see why it might leave some wondering, which is which?
So what are some of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia? This disorder can affect anyone, but most commonly found in middle aged folks, and those with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases can be especially at risk. Fibromyalgia makes you feel tired, we all can feel tired at some time or another, the difference comes in the fact, that even though rested, someone with fibromyalgia still feels tired, causing muscle pain and tenderness to the touch for some places such as the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms and legs. These life changing symptoms can bring on trouble sleeping, morning stiffness, headaches, along with problems thinking and memory.
Those diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome have had a minimum of six months of fatigue, other symptoms include muscle pain, memory problems, headaches, pain in multiple joints, sleep issues, sore throat and tender lymph nodes. This disorder commonly affects women in their 40's and 50's, but again anyone can get it and can last for years.
There is one thing that both doctors and their patients affected by either one of these disorders agree, and that is that B-12 vitamins and folic acid can help them manage some of their symptoms. Since both disorders can affect mental function, memory and thinking problems in particular. B vitamins and brain function are strong and well documented. It is no wonder many healthcare professionals, both traditional and alternative medicine, along with experts in both fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome support the use of B vitamins and folic acid to help in managing their patients symptoms.
If you think you or a loved one has any or all of these symptoms, please see your health care provider to know for sure. If you have been diagnosed with either one of these disorders. Take plenty of high quality B vitamins to help with some of the symptoms.

I recently read an interesting article by Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer for TriVita. In this informative report, Minshew had just returned from an anti-aging conference that focused on natural and pharmaceutical ways to slow the aging process and extend the vitality/longevity of humans. There were 20 speakers from around the world. All 20 of these physicians and professors eventually discussed stem cells as a way to slow aging and speed healing.
Now I don't know about you, but when I think of "stem cells" I immediately think of stem cell research and the highly controversial experimentation being conducted on these tissues. Of course not knowing or understanding the full definition of stem cells, that yes there are "embryonic" stem cells which are cells that differentiate becoming different tissue that become the heart, brain and other organs in a forming human. But did you know that once a human is formed, that the body continues to make stem cells? It's true! In fact, we make stem cells everyday as part of our healing process. The difference between these stem cells and "embryonic stem cells" is stem cells the body makes afterwards replace other cells.
Our bodies along with our cells eventually die, thus when a cell dies, the stem cells made in your bone marrow and other parts of our bodies are released back through a chemical trail to the dead cell, basically transforming to the type of cell it is to replace. For me it explains a lot about the aging process because it is defined as cell death and cell replacement. Further demonstrating why some people age prematurely, because stem cells cannot keep up daily with the demand of dead cells. Too many dead cells, not enough stem cells to keep up. On the flip side, if stem cells are not under such extreme demands on a daily basis, and an adequate amount can be produced daily you age slower. A healthy human being is less likely to experience chronic diseases associated with premature aging. Obviously, having a whole lot of stem cells is a very good thing indeed!
Stem cells as part of the body also requires proper nutrition to function adequately on a daily basis. If the body does not receive the required nutrients for making cells and those stem cells you can become deficient. So when the call comes for cell replacement from dying cells your bone marrow will not fill the order to meet the demand, and we all know what happens then...premature aging. Or cells will be made, but lack the critical nutrients that make it a healthy cell, leaving it wide open for inflammation and disease.
To keep our body making all those much needed stem cells, first and foremost you need a good foundation of proper nutrition, but you can take it one step further with specific nutrients that really stimulate the production line of stem cells. But what kind of special nutrients? Well, back to the article, and the anti-aging conference Brazos Menshew spoke of where six stem cells powerhouse nutrients were mentioned. Of the those duly noted, two stood out, one of which has an unusually large amount of the much needed stem cell nutrient, and believe it or not, it's found in the prickly pear cactus! It's Betalains! Betalins taken with B-12 vitamins may help the production.
So keep the hands of time at a slower speed, help your body burn the midnight oil on the stem cell production line by feeding it just what it needs, Betalins and B-12 vitamins. The best way to get these two super nutrients is by taking superior products! So grab a bottle of Sonoran Bloom Nopalea and drink in a wealth of Betalins, then place sublingual B-12's tasty pink pill under your tongue! Now your cooking!

As a society we are very much dependant on our outward appearance. Why we spend billions, maybe even trillions on everything from the clothes we wear, to way we smell, and everything in between. But let me ask you a question, have you REALLY looked at the skin you're in? It may in fact be telling you something.
Every morning we wake up and look in the mirror, often because we see ourselves 24/7, we may not really be paying close enough attention to the details. It's these details that can shed light to possible health issues lurking inside. For example:
Let's start with dry skin, perhaps it's the obvious, and you just need more fluids, especially water. In the winter months especially, when so many of us are indoors for the majority of the time, often our skin is dry and irritated. Perhpas it may be that you need more essential fatty acids in order to relieve your dry skin.
How about liver spots. It isn't unusual to see older folks with brown spots on their hands. Typically these spots are a direct result of sun damage, but sometimes it could be far worse. Liver spots are from a chemical pigment called lipofuscin. When this pigment builds up in your muscles, nerves, skin and brain, it isn't good. In some cases causing loss of fine motor skills in the hands and body. Extreme overload of lipofuscin in the brain could result in nervous system oxidation and possibly Parkinson Disease. If you have liver spots, keep a watchful eye on them, reporting any major changes to your doctor. and again you may find some relief by taking essential fatty acids, along with antioxidants, together nourishing and protecting your precious brain tissues.
Vitiligo is a skin disorder that causes a loss of pigment in areas of the skin. The pigment loss may result in white blotches on the hands and face. Sometimes vitiligo can be a side effect of too much antibiotic use, chemotherapy or steroids. Sadly, it can just happen with no reason at all. One way you can fight back against vitiligo is with UV light therapy. B-12 vitamins are also quite helpful if you take it correctly for maximum benefits such as sublingually, under the tongue. B-12 vitamins can actually help starve the fungus that may trigger vitiligo. You can also implement the amino acid L-Phenylalanine as it holds much promise in the fight.
So take heed to your body, watch for the signs that your skin maybe telling you! Nourish your skin in a bath of essential fatty acids, and reduce inflammation, by taking TriVita's OmegaPrime.

Got B's?
Got B's what are you talking about? Well, I am referring to a prestigious group of hard working nutrients that are essential to your bod, the "B" vitamin family and their star B-12. Which by the way is responsible for increased, sustainable energy, a fantastic disease fighter and so much more, all by itself!
B vitamins as I mentioned above are a powerful alliance when enough of these little guys are absorbed into our body. Unfortunately, we don't always get the recommended amounts according to the Food and Drug Administration in our daily diet. There are many factors that contribute to a lack of these key nutrients. It isn't always due to a bad diet, even if we do eat right, such things as toxins in our soil, toxins in our air, are solid road blocks in delivering just what we need.
So who are these B's anyway? * Vitamin B1 (thiamine) These water soluble vitamins are essential to cell metabolism. When you get the whole gang together you have a B Complex ready to rival the likes of irregular heartbeat, heart failure, memory loss and other cognitive deficits to name a few.
So, just how can you be sure you are getting the recommended dosage in order to keep the B's buzzing for optimal health? Since we already know that many of the healthy foods we eat, some containing a rich source of a specific B vitamin doesn't always deliver, taking supplements can help assure you are doing all you can. However, there is one particular vitamin I mentioned earlier, the star of show, remember, B-12 vitamins? Well B-12 even if conditions are right and you received a proper dose of it either through foods or supplements, doesn't always get absorbed. You see the older we get, the less B-12 vitamins is absorbed into our bodies. This star B-12 for maximum delivery, maximum results, must be taken sublingually or better known as under the tongue. Taking it like many other supplements by swallowing B-12 vitamins isn't the way this super "B" works!
Since Mother Nature can't always provide us with the most nutritious foods these days, sometimes we need a extra helping hand to reach our goals of optimal health. So remember to get your daily "B's" and don't forget good old B-12 vitamins taken sublingually! Your body will thank you!
How about a FREE sublingual B-12 Gift of Health, kind of like a FREE test drive to this amazing supplement, sublingual B-12. Simply go to the TriVita Products site and fill out the form for Your Free B-12 Gift of Health!

Brain Erosion Doesn't Just Affect Older Folks
Ever grabbed your coat, jumped in the car and totally forgot where you were going? Or how about laughing and joking around with your very best friend in all the world, when suddenly you can't think of their name. You sluff it off, telling yourself, it's just a little brain slip, no big deal, I am young! Only old people are forgetful.
For the most part that is true. If you are over 40 years of age and you experience memory slippage, lack of coordination or balance, your attention span is shorter, can't concentrate for long periods of time, or your concentration is scattered you have something to be worried about. As we grow older these things can and do happen to many of us.
The astonishing truth is that if one or more of these things is happening to you, it could be the result of brain erosion. Brain erosion simply put means the brain actually erodes or shrinks. It is a scary fact YOUR brain can really shrink! In fact your brain can shrink 10 to 25 percent of total total volume due to the effects of stress alone.
Now the shocking part is this is happening to people as young as thirty years of age. According to 1970's, 1980's statistics brain erosion was only found in people over the age of 50. However, a major study conducted by Washington University (St. Louis, Missouri) detected brain volume loss as early as age 30. Researchers also discovered that this brain volume loss often leads to dementia.
In addition people under 30 years of age may also lose cognitive function as a result of asthma, ADHD, allergies, digestive issues or diabetes. These medical issues result in a much lower B vitamins absorption rate, this literally is starving the brain for the right kind of nutrition, B vitamins. specifically B-12, vital to the absorption of so many other key nutrients.
Which begs the question, what is different now, what is causing brain erosion in much younger people than ever before? Stress, and it's damaging effects on our bodies is the biggest reason. Pollutants, lack of nutrition in our food, the relentless expectations we have for ourselves, mixed with other people's expectations of us all add up to stress personified! This nasty cocktail often times overload our bodies with ill effects such as brain erosion.
Young or old; if you feel you have experienced any of the above symptoms brain erosion might be taking place. Don't stress there is a solution to decreasing and even repairing the damage.
Your brain may be lacking essential building blocks such as B-12 and Omega 3 fatty acids, without them your brain may be shrinking. This was confirmed by a study conducted at the University of Illinois. The study showed those with adequate amounts of B-12 had less brain volume loss, along with the ability to keep it, than those with inadequate amounts of B-12.
So there you go, youth doesn't always keep mental clarity on your side! No matter how old you are fight back! Take your B-12 vitamins - the best source come from TriVita's sublingual B-12 vitamins.

The Inside Scoop on B-12 Vitamins
What the heck are B-12 vitamins anyway? Well, let's start with the basics, vitamin B-12 is a water-soluble B vitamin that helps transform fats and proteins from foods into energy and works with folic acid to produce normal red blood cells. An adequate supply of vitamin B-12 vitamins is also necessary for normal neurological function.
Vitamin B-12 cannot be produced inside your body; it must come from your diet. Once you eat foods containing B-12, it is not easily absorbed and broken down for use within your body. This is because B-12 is very large and complex. Only about 1% of the B-12 in the food you eat is absorbed.
Certain bacteria and sea microbes are able to dissolve and digest the metal cobalt and convert it to Vitamin B-12. We cannot digest metal. When we are young, bacteria in our intestines "ferment" the B-12 from our diet. Fermentation is a long process that may take as long as three weeks to get the meager 1% of the vitamin into our system.
Do I need to take B-12 in my diet?
B12 vitamins are needed for normal nerve cell activity, DNA replication, and production of the mood-affecting substance SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine). Vitamin B12 acts with folic acid and vitamin B6 to control homocysteine levels.
Different types of B-12 B-12 is stored in various organs and tissues. Some go to your liver, kidneys and muscles, while other B-12's circulate in your body fluids, primarily your blood and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). This is where the story of Vitamin B-12 gets interesting because each type of B-12 has a different function.
Methylcobalamin is a co-enzyme form of Vitamin B-12 that resides in your liver and kidneys. Methylcobalamin is not a complete form of B-12. Rather, it is a B-12 "co-enzyme" that is activated for specific uses. It is primarily for detoxification. For instance, methylcobalamin participates in getting rid of toxic metals, such as lead and mercury. Methylcobalamin is very effective at removing dangerous levels of homocysteine. That's why we formulated HCY Guard with methylcobalamin.
Adenosylcobalamin is another form of B-12 co-enzyme; it lives in your muscles. It allows your muscles to stretch without tearing. Cyanocobalamin is the main form of Vitamin B-12 and it's the type we use in our Sublingual B-12. It is a "whole" B-12, just like hydroxycobalamin. The other B-12s are made from these two sources. Cyanocobalamin resides in your nerves where it heals the scars created by stress, trauma, vitamin deficiency, toxins and just plain time. This has the effect of making you feel lighter. It gives you energy and stamina. Cyanocobalamin also creates a mild euphoria that many people say "just makes me feel better."
Hydroxycobalamin is a whole form of B-12 often administered to children. It also lives in the nervous system and blood. It is found in cerebral spinal fluid. It metabolizes very slowly, so most people don't report much of an energy boost with hydroxycobalamin.
No matter how old or young you are, we all could use more energy, vitality, and above all else...Good health! Get some B-12 today!

The dietary absorption of vitamin B-12 is complex. It's not just a matter of swallowing a bunch of it (dietary or supplemental) and letting the guts do the work. There is something called "intrinsic factor" which is made in certain cells in the stomach that must be present in order for B-12 vitamins to be absorbed at a point in the very end of the small intestine (the ileum).
The main sources of B-12 include meat, eggs, and dairy products. Food-bound vitamin B12 malabsorption is defined as an impaired ability to absorb food or protein-bound B-12 vitamins, although the free form is fully absorbable. In the elderly, food-bound vitamin B12 malabsorption is thought to result mainly from atrophic gastritis, a chronic inflammation of the lining of the stomach that ultimately results in the loss of glands in the stomach (atrophy) and decreased stomach acid production. Because stomach acid is required for the release of vitamin B12 vitamins from the proteins in food, vitamin B12 absorption is diminished. Decreased stomach acid production also provides an environment conducive to the overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria in the stomach, which further interferes with vitamin B12 absorption. Because vitamin B12 in supplements is not bound to protein, and because intrinsic factor (IF) is still available, the absorption of supplemental vitamin B12 is not reduced as it is in pernicious anemia.
So how can you know you received enough B-12 vitamins?
Take the guesswork out of B-12 vitamins absorption with Super Sublingual B-12 formulated for maximum absorption with its original, patented sublingual delivery system. Plus, its the first and only B-12 vitamins product to combine both major forms of B-12 with B-6, folic acid and ginseng.
Now, you dont have to worry about the pain and expense of B-12 injections. You simply put a great-tasting, quick-dissolving tablet under your tongue; the B-12 is detectable in the bloodstream in as little as 30 minutes!

B12 Vitamins - 123
An Important Link Between Brain Health and B-12 Vitamins
I recently read an article in TriVita's Vita Journal titled" Can a Supplement ease Alzheimer's?" written by Dr. Scott Conrad Founder of Tiena Health. This article was of great importance to me as my mother was recently afflicted with this horrible disease as a result of a stroke. In Dr. Conrad's article he wrote about the millions that have been affected in some way shape or form by this disease called Alzheimer. Caregivers, friends and family know how atrocious it is to watch someone with Alzheimer slowly lose their memory, increased confusion, along with the wearing down of the mind and body. It is the most heartbreaking pill in life to swallow. To be honest, I do not know if I will ever learn to accept what has happened to my mother.
Yet, in all this sadness, there is a twinkling of light at the end of the tunnel. Brain health and B-12 vitamins according to a recent 2008 study from the University of Oxford, England suggests a possible link between low levels of B-12 and the higher probability of increased brain volume or better known as "brain erosion". The same study also suggested that those with a higher level of B-12 had a decreased probability in brain erosion. Since one of the results of Alzheimer is brain erosion this study has promising importance.
It is these very findings that spurred further research into the great benefits of B-12 vitamins, that in fact B-12 may protect against the devastating disease Alzheimer. Researchers found that the erosion is linked directly to reduced mental function, which is obvious in Alzheimer patients.
This particular study in England took place over five years with 107 adults ages 61 to 87. The question posed "What is the link between vitamin B-12 and brain erosion?"
In order to answer this question, the researchers had the participants in the study following guidelines according to results published by the medical journal Neurology. The participants underwent annual blood tests, MRI's, physical exams and memory tests. None of the subjects had any mental impairments when they began the study.
When the study ended all of the participants had B-12 levels in the normal range, on the other hand, the differences in brain volume between the normal low range and normal high range were quite noteworthy. Therefore the conclusion "People with lower levels of B-12 were six times more likely to have brain volume loss "brain erosion" than those with higher levels of B-12."
This article also pointed out the continual important as a society to take enough vitamin B-12 daily as deficiencies result in such symptoms as decreased mental and nerve functions and of course many more, too many to list. But I believe you get the jest.
Many health conscious people are already aware of the importance of certain key vitamins, yet for me personally, after reading this article what I found most beneficial was the new research brought forth that brain erosion can also be a direct result of lack of B-12. So take your B-12! I know I will...but be sure you get the right kind of B-12 vitamin, and that is taken sublingual under the tongue for maximum benefits. Learn more by visiting B12 Vitamins

Vitamin B-12 - 122
"Dr. Alfred Libby was a medical doctor and substance abuse therapy specialist who worked primarily with heroin addicts searching for new therapies to improve the detoxification process. He was aware that most addicts were not getting the B-12 they needed through food, but he was extremely reluctant to give them any kind of injection. In the late 1970s, Dr. Libby began to explore an alternative delivery system for vitamin B-12. The goal was to bypass the stomach where this essential nutrient is not easily absorbed." "In early spring of 1980, Dr. Libby approached his colleagues with his theory that B-12 could be delivered to the bloodstream sublingually (under the tongue). Biochemists and his medical colleagues were quick to dismiss the idea. However, he was persistent and they eventually decided to give his theory a try, although they were convinced it would fail." "Six weeks later the first study was underway. Shortly after, Dr. Libby's sublingual delivery method was deemed a complete success blood levels of B-12 increased dramatically. Dr. Libby significantly improved his formula with the addition of B-6 & Folic Acid and was issued a patent in 1984 for his sublingual process." "And now, from the experts that brought you the original Sublingual B-12 comes TriVita Super Sublingual B-12. With the original, patented delivery system, TriVita Super B provides more B-12 than the average B-12 shot. Studies show that these important nutrients can be measured in the bloodstream in as little as 30 minutes! Plus, it's the first and only B-12 product to combine both major forms of B-12 with B-6, folic acid and ginseng." "Thanks to Dr. Libby's original, patented delivery system, thousands of people have experienced increased stamina, mental clarity, improved memory and much more"! The information listed above is from the TriVita web site (www.trivita.com/superb/getsuperb.com/dr_libby.aspx), and the reason I bring this up is because of my wife's son, who has been told that he may have to continue receiving Vitamin B-12 shots the rest of his life. He's only 25! YIKES! Here's his short story. Eighteen months ago he was in the hospital with what was diagnosed as a bleeding ulcer. The doctors found and repaired the problem, no worries. Fast forward to the present (one month ago) - seventeen months later - his condition returned. This time it was much worse, as he was hospitalized for five days, and was given six units of blood. As the doctors continued to monitor his one month progress, they find out that his blood levels are too low (whatever that means). That leads us to where I started his story. The doctors feel that he "may need vitamin b12 shot the rest of his life." So with that said, I suggested TriVita's patented Sublingual B12. Is it recommended by the doctors? Will it be as effective as a true vitamin b12 shot? I guess only time will tell. If "TriVita Super B provides more B-12 than the average B-12 shot" he should be fine, and should be getting enough b12 into his system to discontinue the painful shots.

Vitamin B-12 is an important vitamin that you usually get from your food. It is mainly found in meat and dairy products. Vitamin B-12 helps make red blood cells and keeps your nervous system working properly. It's been noted by many health professionals that stress can interfere with B12 absorption by upsetting the balance of acids in your stomach. It's the acids in your stomach that helps to separate B12 from your food so it can be absorbed by your body. Studies have revealed that when your body is under any form of stress, it goes into "fight or flight" mode. That's where your body gathers all available resources - nutrients - to "fight" the stressor. It's possible for your body to deplete all these nutrients to "fight" that unwanted stress. It's unfortunate but the B vitamins are some of the first nutrients to be depleted by stress. Since stress can deplete your body of the necessary b-12 vitamin, it's important to make sure your getting your fill of b-12. So, how can we make sure we're getting of daily requirement of vitamin b-12? By eating foods that are rich in b12. The best sources of vitamin B12 are animal products such as meat, milk, egg, and cheese. What about vegetarians? Vegetarians can wind up becoming vitamin B-12 deficient if they don't check their nutrition level regularly. That's why vegans usually take nutritional supplements to correct the nutritional gap that they are losing when they do not eat meat. Since the recommended daily intake for vitamin B12 is 2.0 micrograms, supplements are the best source of b-12 for vegans. And supplements are the second way a person can get their recommended daily requirement of b-12. Vitamin B12 deficiency can become a major problem, not just for vegans, for many individuals. And it usually results from inadequate absorption of the nutrients in the digestive system. Stress does interfere with B12 absorption> However, "impaired absorption is typically rooted to the inability of the body to absorb vitamin B12 due to recurring or external factors such as aging, complication, diseases, and other infections." [1] Out of all the external factors that lead to impaired absorption, I believe age is actually what leads to our largest vitamin b-12 deficiency problem. This also leads to a major healthcare system problem. Why? As the largest portion of our population (the baby-boomers) continues to age the number of vitamin b-12 deficiency is bound to increase, because the older you get the harder it is for the body to absorb this nutrient. If the baby-boomers don't do something, like supplementing their diet with b-12 vitamins, they will bet taxing our already struggling healthcare system. The best supplement I've found on the market is TriVita's Sublingual B-12. The reason I've found this one to be the best is because of it's patented delivery system. Since we've already discovered that absorption is the major problem, getting b-12 into the body is key, and that's exactly what happens with Sublingual B-12. With TriVita's Sublingual B12, you can be assured that your body is getting the B vitamins it needs. The original, patented formula bypasses the digestive system, speeding the nutrients directly to your bloodstream, where they can go to work right away. Without being able to absorb b-12 from the food you eat, and without taking a daily b-12 supplement, your third option would be to get b-12 injections (shots). Most injections require a doctor's office visit. However, there are places where you can buy vitamin b-12 and administer the shot at home. Before using that type of medicine, make sure you get a health care professional to provide detailed instructions and the appropriate use of this medicine. As with any supplement, always contact a healthcare professional, or your doctor. Don't fall into the vitamin b-12 deficiency trap. If you're aging, and who isn't, ask your doctor or healthcare professional if taking a b-12 supplement is right for you. If they say yes, try TriVita's patented Sublingual B-12.

Vitamin b-12 and folate are two of the main ingredients in TriVita's Sublingual B-12. The others are Vitamin B-6 and biotin. Since b-12 and folate are considered very important to the human body, I thought I'd use this article to concentrate on those two ingredients.
What is B-12 and Folate?
According to the Labs Tests Online website, a public resource on clinical lab testing from the laboratory professionals who do the testing, "B12 and folate are B complex vitamins that are necessary for normal red blood cell formation, tissue and cellular repair, and DNA synthesis." [1]
Vitamin B-12 and Folate Deficiency
It's more of a deficiency of b-12 and folate that causes problems rather than an over abundance of these vitamins. As a matter of fact, a lot of research and studies have been conducted on these complex vitamins. The main findings have been that a deficiency of b-12 and/or folate "can lead to macrocytic anemia, a condition characterized by the production of fewer, but larger red blood cells and a decreased ability to carry oxygen." [1]
Information from Lab Tests Online also states that "a deficiency in B12 can also result in varying degrees of neuropathy, nerve damage that can cause tingling and numbness in the patients hands and feet and mental changes that range from confusion and irritability to severe dementia." [1]
There are many symptoms that occur which leads doctors to a vitamin b-12 deficiency. However, ":the symptoms associated with B12 and folate deficiency are frequently subtle and nonspecific. They are related to the resulting macrocytic anemia, nerve involvement, and gastrointestinal changes. Patients with an early deficiency may be diagnosed before they experience any overt symptoms." [1]
Other symptoms may include, "confusion, paranoia, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue/weakness, loss of appetite, malabsorption, paleness, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, sore tongue and mouth, tingling, numbness, and/or burning in the feet, hands, arms, and legs (with B12)." [1]
Causes of Vitamin B-12 Deficiency
One of the main causes that I've heard about, especially when it comes to the elderly, is inadequate absorption. Most of the elderly population is unable to absorb vitamin b-12 from the food they eat. And once again, according to the Labs Tests Online website, they confirm what I've come to learn over the past year. "B12 and folate deficiency may be due to insufficient intake, inadequate absorption, increased loss, or to increased need." [1] Lab Tests Online continues with, "B12 deficiency can be caused by insufficient stomach acid - necessary to separate B12 from ingested protein. This is the most common cause of B12 deficiency in the elderly and individuals on drugs that suppress gastric acid production. Deficiency may also be due to a lack of intrinsic factor, a substance produced by parietal cells in the stomach that binds with B12 before absorption by the intestines. An autoimmune condition called pernicious anemia involves damage to the parietal cells, resulting in decreased production of intrinsic factor." [1]
TriVita's Sublingual B-12
I believe it's the deficiency and malabsorption factors that led Dr. Libby, inventor of TriVita's patented Sublingual B-12 formula, on a trek to develop an easy to use B-12 and folate concentrated supplement. Before Dr. Libby's formula came to the market, the most popular way to get the proper dose of the b-12 vitamin was through a shot, which had to be administered by a doctor, and was guaranteed to be absorbed into the body. Many people have found success with Dr. Libby's patented sublingual vitamin b12. It is the number one selling product which is sold and distributed by TriVita. As mentioned before, the b12 vitamin is very important, and should be taken on a daily basis. It's almost impossible to get enough of b-12 and folate through a proper diet, especially if you're starting to get up there in age. Before taking any dietary supplement, you should talk to a health care professional or doctor. The information in this article is just to inform people of the health risks related to vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies. Although my information comes from reliable sources, it's up to you to verify this information, just ask your doctor. I believe that taking a b12 supplement on a daily basis is a must. To learn more about the sublingual vitamin b12, its patented delivery system, Dr. Libby, and/or TriVita, visit the vitamin b12 web site. Jeffrey Sloe Sources:
B-12 gives your body the vitamin B-12 nutrients it needs to naturally give you: Doctors know the health benefits of the "B" vitamin family and have administered b12 shots to patients for years–patients who were feeling sluggish, tired, down, or forgetful–and they've seen remarkable results. Unfortunately, getting the B-12 vitamin your body needs is not easy. The shots can be painful and expensive. Additionally, your ability to absorb the B vitamins from food and oral pills decreases as you age. The experts agree that as you get older, your ability to absorb B-12 through digestion continually decreases. In fact, many adults are unable to absorb it into their body at all! Even more, a depletion of B12 can be detrimental to your health. Why? Because it plays a key role in the production of chemicals that help regulate sleep, mood, appetite, and ENERGY! A new means of delivering this important vitamin into your body was needed, and that's the result. The key to fighting "B" twelve deficiency is a sublingual delivery method. What that simply means is you put a great tasting, quickly dissolving tablet under your tongue where it can speed the vitamins directly into your bloodstream, instead of getting lost in your digestive system. The results of vitamin B-12 deficiency can be both devastating and deadly, and that's why sublingual delivery method was created. This revolutionary, patented, Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid product has helped millions of people over the years. It's not sold in stores, and is only available from by clicking on this link Vitamin B-12. Now you can join the millions of others who have experienced the miracle of this original, patented Sublingual B-12, B-6, & Folic Acid product! Jeffrey Sloe
According to the medterm.com web site, "vitamin B12 is a vitamin important for the normal formation of red blood cells and the health of the nerve tissues. Undetected and untreated vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia and permanent nerve and brain damage." [1] Vitamin B12 is naturally found in foods that come from animals, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products. Fortified breakfast cereals are a particularly valuable source of vitamin B12 for vegetarians. "Pernicious anemia is a blood disorder caused by inadequate vitamin B12 in the blood. Patients who have this disorder do not produce the protein substance in the stomach that allows the body to absorb vitamin B12. This substance is called intrinsic factor (IF)." [1] "Pernicious anemia is simply treated with injections of vitamin B12. The vitamin B12 has to be administered by injection because people with PA do not have IF (or an effective form of IF) and so cannot absorb vitamin B12 taken by mouth." [1] "Pernicious anemia has also been called Addison's anemia, addisonian anemia, Biermer's anemia." [1] Vitamin B12 helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells. It is also needed to help make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Vitamin B12 is also called cobalamin because it contains the metal cobalt. Vitamin B12 is bound to the protein in food. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach releases vitamin B12 from proteins in foods during digestion. Once released, vitamin B12 combines with a substance called intrinsic factor (IF). This complex can then be absorbed by the intestinal tract. However, patients with Crohn's disease involving the small intestine (Crohn's ileitis) or who have undergone small intestine resection may not be able to absorb vitamin B12. Strict vegetarians who consume no animal products can develop B12 deficiency since there is a lack of B12 in vegetables. Recommendations for vitamin B12 are provided in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) developed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. Dietary Reference Intakes is the general term for a set of reference values used for planning and assessing nutrient intake for healthy people. "The recommended daily allowances of vitamin B12 in the United States are 2mcg for infants, 3 mcg for children under 4 years old, 6mcg for children over 4 years old and adults, and 8 mcg for pregnant women." [1] We need Vitamin B-12 in a form that is readily usable by the body. Vitamin B-12 deficiency is the most common vitamin deficiency in people over 50. Vitamin B-12 deficiency may cause everything from fatigue and grumpiness, to mental confusion and mental exhaustion. Anemia and dementia may follow later. With that said, it's recommended adults take "one multivitamin daily. One multivitamin a day is safe and inexpensive. The multivitamin should contain 400 micrograms of folic acid, approximately 2-3 mg of vitamin B6, 6-9 micrograms of vitamin of B12, and 400 IU of vitamin D. The folic acid and the other B vitamins can help lower homocysteine. The vitamin D is one of the important factors in preventing osteoporosis." [1] I know many healthcare professionals recommend daily multivitamins. However, many multivitamins lack the proper dosage of b-12, and most do not meet the recommended daily allowances. That's why I recommend TriVita's Sublingual B12. With TriVita's Sublingual B12, you can be assured that your body is getting the B vitamins it needs. The original, patented formula bypasses the digestive system, speeding the nutrients directly to your bloodstream, where they can go to work right away. Don't fall into the vitamin b-12 deficiency trap. If you're aging, and not sure you're getting the daily requirement of this all important vitamin, ask your doctor or healthcare professional if taking a b-12 supplement is right for you. If they say yes, try TriVita's patented Sublingual B-12. To learn more about TriVita's Sublingual Vitamin B-12, click on the previous link. Jeffrey Sloe Sources:
