Vitamin B-12 is an important member of the B complex of vitamins. These water-soluble vitamins often work together and as a group provide many benefits related to good health. By itself, though, Vitamin B-12 can have a significant impact on health. Vitamin B-12 is essential for the body to properly use iron. It is also important for good nervous system function where it helps create and maintain the myelin sheath that lines nerve cells.
Vitamin B-12 is probably best known for its ability to boost energy. B-12 is an essential element for regulating sleep, appetite, and energy. In clinical studies, Vitamin B-12 injections significantly improved sleep and energy in people with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Vitamin B-12 also plays a role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease by assisting the body in eliminating homocysteine. Homocysteine contributes to the development of plaque and atherosclerosis. Vitamin B-12, along with Folic Acid and Vitamin B-6 render homocysteine harmless.
Research also indicates that Vitamin B-12 may be related to depression. Individuals with depression had a high likelihood of B-12 deficiency. Vitamin B-12 is necessary for the body to produce SAM-e (s-Adenosylmethionine) which has been used in clinical studies to help alleviate symptoms of depression.
Despite its many benefits many people fail to take advantage of this important vitamin. As we age our bodies are less efficient at absorbing B-12 in the intestines. This means we not only get less B-12 from our food but oral supplements are less effective. As many as 10-15% of individuals over 60 years of age are deficient in Vitamin B-12. Injections can help remedy this but they are costly and painful.
Sublingual B-12 lozenges offer a convenient and inexpensive method of enjoying the benefits of this nutrient. Placing the tablet under the tongue or between the cheek and gum allows for quick absorption into the blood stream. Research shows that Vitamin B-12 delivered sublingually enters the blood stream in as little as 15 minutes.
Vitabase Vitamin B-12 Lozenges provide not only B-12 but also Folic Acid and Biotin. Folic Acid and B-12 work together synergistically to accomplish several important functions. Biotin works with the B complex to break down fats.
