Do you need to have a b12 deficiency to take vitamin b12?

Q. Does anyone take vitamin b12 without a deficiency? how will the effect compare to that of someone who does have a deficiency?

A. B12 deficiency, is a serious condition, however it takes YEARS to develope one...because we do have stored reserves in the body, such as bone marrow, liver cells atc...
However, serious deficiencies with polineuritis, anesthesia of vibration, and anemia (macrocytic or big erythrocytes anemia), are the main indication for treatment with INJECTED not oral B12, because sometimes, we lack a protein formed in the fundus of the stomach called "intrinsic factor" that links itself tp the B12, making it absorbable....
By injecting the B12, you bypass this possibility (pernicious anemia) and the B12 reaches directly the bone marrow and the storage sites....
However, if you are NOT deficient of B12 and still take it, there will be no harm, because the B12 has no intrinsic toxicity, and as other answerers above told to you, it is as expensive "placebo"......nothing else.....


How does vitamin B12 help lower my heart rate?
Q. Does it lower homocysteine levels in my blood? I used to have tachycardia. Now since the doctor tested my blood, it was determined that i was low in vitamin b12. So ive been taking vitamin b12 for sometime now, and I don't experience increased heart rate anymore. I feel better.

A. Folic acid (folate) and B12 vitamin help break down homocysteine, an amino acid in your blood.

V B 12 deficiency lead to anemia and anemia lead to tachycardia(increase of heart rate).

So, with usage of V B12 and treatment anemia, heart rate come down, under these circumstance vitamin B12 can decreases a fast heart rate.


Can a Vitamin B12 deficiency bring around an OCD?
Q. I 'm trying to help a friend deal with a particularly bad Mental OCD; and I read somewhere that certain vitamins can influence OCD's and stuff... what kind of vitamins should she take that could help her mentally?

A. Yes, in fact a year after vitamin B12 treatment (was very B12 deficient), my OCD symptoms were gone. I found the most effective at boosting B12 levels was oral B12 under the tongue spray. This is pain free and 900% more effective than tablets.

Vitamin B12 is essential in the serotonin pathway. Vitamin B12 deficiency affects mental health and symptoms include depression (including post-partum depression), irritability, apathy, anxiety, mania, OCD, paranoia, psychosis, personality changes, hallucinations, violent behavior, bipolar, schizophrenia....in children - autistic behavior, developmental delay.

i've had symptoms of vitamin b12 deficiency for two years,does it mean that now i have permanent nerve damage?
Q. because some people told me that if a vitamin b12 deficiency is left untreated for more then 6 months,it will cause some permanent nerve damage, and i have had the symptoms for 2 years now including (chronic insomnia, chronic fatigue,numbness in my fingers and toes,some muscle cramps,and i can feel my heartbeat and also hear it in my ears,and a very itchy scrotum), do you think that now i have some permanent nerve damage?

A. No! Vitamin B12 deficiency or hypocobalaminemia is a low blood level of vitamin
B12, it can cause permanent
damage to nervous tissue
as a long term effect. Vitamin B 12 was discovered from its relationship to the
disease pernicious anemia , which is an autoimmune disease that destroys parietal cells in the stomach that secrete intrinsic factor . Pernicious anemia,
untreated, is usually fatal
within three years. Once
identified, however, it can
be treated successfully and
with relative ease (although it cannot be
cured and continued
treatment is required).
Intrinsic factor is crucial for
the normal absorption of
B12 in amounts that occur in foods, and thus a lack of
intrinsic factor, as seen in
pernicious anemia, causes a
vitamin B 12 deficiency.
