B-12 Deficiency – Its Undesirable Results and Risk Factors

by Scott Conard, MD

You don’t want to be deficient in B-12 for a number of reasons. First of all, if you are over 30, a B-12 deficiency can cause actual brain erosion. Furthermore, a severe B-12 deficiency depletes your energy stores. Finally, it can lead to these undesirable conditions:

• Irritability, personality change
• Brain fog
• Brain erosion
• Depression
• Psychosis
• Heart disease
• Dementia

So how do B-12 deficiencies come about? In life, there are quite a few risk factors that can contribute to it. Things such as:

• Stress
• Less ability to absorb B-12 after age 40
• Certain prescription drugs
• Extreme fatigue or anemia
• Elevated homocysteine levels
• Vegetarian lifestyle
• Gastric surgery or disease
• Digestive or intestinal problems.

To help overcome these risk factors, I strongly suggest supplementing your diet with TriVita’s Super Sublingual B-12 each and every day.That way, you’ll be helping to protect yourself from a B-12 deficiency and its very real dangers.

SUCCESS STORIES“… my thinking was clearer and my energy level had increased tremendously.”

“I had an opportunity to attend the Galaxy of Stars this year. My team leader noticed my face was tense when I got there, so he gave me TriVita’s Super Sublingual B-12 to try. I took a tablet and I immediately began to feel a slight change in my mood. When I came back for the Galaxy of Stars the following day, my friend marveled at how relaxed my facial expression was. Throughout the day, she would tell me how much more relaxed I looked. She also noticed that my mood had changed, my thinking was clearer and my energy level had increased tremendously. When my team leader saw me again, he noticed the difference, too. Thank you. TriVita!
