Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin that may provide an increase in energy, decrease seasonal allergies, migraine headaches, memory loss, and depression, help maintain a stronger immune system, more restful sleep, hormonal balance, and possibly an increase in a general feeling of wellness. Every individuals needs and requirements are different, therefore, many reported variations have been experienced with a monthly vitamin B12 supplement.
Known as cobolamin and cyanocobalamin, vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is very important to many functions of the human body. However, absorbing this vitamin for use is very difficult. In order for absorption to take place easily, the following processes must take place.
- During digestion our bodies produce hydrochloric acid.
- The hydrochloric acid releases the vitamin B12 found naturally in protein foods.
- The stomach then produces an intrinsic factor
- The intrinsic factor binds with the vitamin B12 allowing it to be easily absorbed through the intestines for use.
Many of us take medications that reduce these natural acids which may alter the absorption of the vitamin b12. Prescribed medications, disease processes or chronic illnesses, ageing, alcohol ingestion, hormonal imbalances, continuous physical stressors, and simply a low intake of proteins may directly interfere with the vitamin B12 absorption.
