Manahawkin Chiropractic Discussion of Vitamin B for Brain

February 14, 2017

Vitamin B supports blood, brain and body, the big 3 B’s for all of us [[targeltocation]] humans!

Not so long ago, vitamins sometimes were derided as to their importance. Vitamins are really essential dietary components for healthy life. (1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center understands vitamins’ importance to the health of our Manahawkin chiropractic patients and their deficiency’s contribution to our Manahawkin chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. At Manahawkin Chiropractic Center, a full host of Manahawkin chiropractic care options exist to determine the source of your current concern and return to you to your desired quality of life.

Vitamins are important for health as it is now known that a deficiency of them may affect not just bodily issues but also psychiatric disorders. A vitamin B deficiency may influence memory, dementia and cognitive function. Deficiencies of B1, B3, B6, B9 and B12 – all vital for neuronal function – are associated with depression. Depression is complex, and vitamin B contributes to its complexity. (1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center carefully listens to our patients for any sign of depression.

Another subset of patient to check B levels in are Manahawkin diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes are often prescribed metformin. This drug may reduce serum cyanocobalamin (B12) levels. Patient age, dosage, years of taking it, and time of the diabetes diagnosis likely influence the vitamin B12 level, too. (2) Your Manahawkin chiropractor understands diabetes well.

Vitamins promote cancer prevention, particularly in the initial stages of the cancer development. Folate (B9), vitamins B2, B6, and B12 are quite important. Specifically, a folate (B9) deficiency affects dendritic cell function which influences T helper cell differentiation. (T helper cells trigger the immune responses in the body.) (3) Metabolism of the B vitamins is important, delivering compounds for DNA synthesis and repair processes. Researchers are excited about the potential vitamins like B offer for the prevention of serious illnesses. (4)

Vitamin B12 itself is also quite important. It’s essential for cellular function. It’s a necessary micronutrient as humans don’t make it. Statistics say that those of us in Manahawkin who are over 65 years of age must be aware of B12 deficiency; 15% of us are lacking! If we have low levels of B12, neurological disorders and blood disorders may arise. We may have a higher risk of coronary artery disease if our B12 levels are low.|Low B12 levels may also put us at risk for coronary artery disease. Vitamin B12 has to be obtained by eating animal proteins. When vitamin B12 is eaten, it goes through a complicated absorption and assimilation process. (5) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center encourages our Manahawkin chiropractic patients to test their B12 levels. If they are low, let us together, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center and you, set a plan to improve them.

Why? Lack of vitamin B12 causes a variety of neurological issues. These issues may be acute, subacute or chronic. Such neurological complications stemming from a vitamin B12 deficiency are subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord, a useless hand syndrome (related to the cervical spinal cord), and acute posterolateral cord syndrome which results in gait ataxia. None of these issues is appealing. Fortunately, B12 supplementation helped all these patients. (6) Trust Manahawkin Chiropractic Center to lead you to the required care for any B12 deficiency found.
