🔵 Vitamin B12 is one of the most important Vitamins for the body.
🔵 B12 deficiency is because of 2 reasons:
1. You are not consuming enough B12 rich food
2. Your body is not able to absorb it well
🔵 For Indians, it is the combination of both.
🔵 Vitamin B12 is only present in Animal based food 🥩 🍗 🐟 🥚🧀
🔵 Even among that, Eggs & Dairy are inferior sources with low Bioavailability.
🔵 They are not sufficient to deal with a Deficiency!
🔵 Fortified food is also source of B12, but they come with other problems.
🔵 So make sure you are consuming B12 rich food on a regular basis.
🔵 If not possible, then supplement 💊 💉 is the option.
🔵 Second issue with respect to Vitamin B12 is your gut not absorbing it.
🔵 Vitamin B12 is a very large molecule compared to other vitamins and requires an enzyme called intrinsic factor to metabolize effectively.
🔵 Without adequate intrinsic factor the body cannot effectively metabolize b12.
🔵 The most common gut issue that effects B12 levels is that of low stomach acid.
🔵 Abuse of Antacids, PPIs & other meds majorly effects your Gut & thereby B12 levels.
🔵 Get your Vitamin B12 levels tested & work out ways to improve it, be it through food or supplementation.
🔵 Long term B12 deficiency has Serious & often irreversible consequences!!
