What is essential to know about B12
Saturday, November 22, 2008
Here's a new mail sent to my friends and I agree with the blog.
Strong axiom that the good health of the devotees are pleased to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Krishna will send a series of information accumulated during my research that may well be useful.
B12 I remind you that there is no online site www.scienzavegetariana.it - run by doctors really good - where you can see and know too much more of the following in my mail. Basically, the critical points of a vegetarian diet for us Westerners, who have less ability enzymatic marked as inherited from previous generations who were mostly omnivores (metabolic capabilities of the Orientals are quite different from those of the West - such as the genetic lineages of populations that face the sea, and that they have for many generations of fish can not metabolize well, make bioavailable omega-3 present in the oil Flax) are:
polyunsaturated fatty acids of Omega-3 
Calcium 
This does not mean that we can be careless about other essential nutrients, as here, ESSENTIAL, meaning that a lack of nutrient lasted too long in time, leads to the onset of chronic disease and of these. What You Need to Know About Vitamin B12
natural state is produced by microorganisms found in the ground. is present only in organisms of the animal kingdom, and not in the plant kingdom. Biodynamic agriculture would provide vegetables such as carrots and fennel in direct contact with the earth, to be "contaminated" by the vitamin, but due to the uncertainty of the value and quality qauntitativo vitamin present in the soil and then to just touch on they are not reliable source. So for vegetarians is found only in milk and cheese.
Generally, over time, the Lacto-vegetarians are more likely to develop B12 deficiency (because - it is just one possible example - aged over fifty having mucous membranes of the stomach that produce intrinsic factor to absorb B12, no longer absorbed the already low ratio day).
But it is my experience that the Lacto-vegetarian with age tends to avoid spontaneous sources of saturated fats, because of the problems they pose in relation to the metabolism of essential fatty acids, the accumulation of cholesterol, etc. .. So can search easily develop B12 deficiency.
Here are some points that must be taken highly into consideration.
1) The cobalamin (name Scientific B12) is destroyed when taking antibiotics, or we undergo anesthesia, even partially. A large excess of vitamin C can not make that bioavailable in the body;
2) The dental amalgam fillings dark, in the mouth, ie those based on mercury, it creates a demand increased by B12. Heavy metals including mercury in vaccines also present, destroying most of the nutrients and vitamins;
3) E 'one of the most important micronutrients. is transported within the body due to an intrinsic factor produced by the stomach. All the problems of the stomach, such as ulcers, Helicobacter, celiac disease, tend to inhibit or prevent the absorption of b12. The EMvita, ie the period that a person can go without taking B12 is 1, 2 to 10 years, depending on the body's ability to cram and take the B12 in the liver (the only water-soluble vitamin that has a liver storage);
4) The children of vegetarians, vegetarians also must pay more attention to the levels of B12 in the blood, as they tend to have deposits
generally lower deficit and system recovery on the part of ' body (when b12 is not taken, it triggers an enterohepatic circuit that is able to recover some of the bile b12) attention must ask the mother who has a vegetarian pregnancy on the B12 and omega-3;
5) For those who do not take spirulina (there are forms of b12 plant called "similar inactive") is sufficient to ask your analysis of the medical and B12, for further proof of the goodness of the value in the blood, that of homocysteine);
6) At least once a year, request the analysis of B12, the values \u200b\u200bshould not drop below 400, to be sure;
7) In the market, in Italy, is only the Cyan-cobalamin, which is associated factor as a preservative to cyanide. This implies that in the long term it create thyroid problems, and that they are disabled neurological functions delegated to B12).
I think we should take, how to integrate Methilcobalamina, the bioavailable form of B12.

Classical
Deficiency Syndrome Symptoms and Latency
Anemia: The combined deficiency of vitamin B12 and folate prevents the production of sufficient DNA for the turnover of blood cells, causing a reduction in the number of red blood cells (anemia), which are of increased volume (megaloblastic). The main symptom is fatigue.
Effects on the Nervous System: more often associated with B12 deficiency than with that of folate. Symptoms include:
decreased sensitivity and tingling
weakness
Deficit Balance and Coordination of Visual Arts
Deficit
glossitis
Memory Disorders
personality disorder, including hallucinations and psychosis
In children, B12 deficiency can cause generalized weakness, anorexia, disturbance of consciousness that may progress to coma and death. The time of onset is more rapid than in adults.
All symptoms are reversible if treated early enough
but can residuare permanent damage, especially in children.
NB: The breast-fed babies may develop a severe B12 deficiency syndrome if the mother takes little B12, even if the mother is asymptomatic.
Latency of an outbreak of B12 deficiency syndrome: The liver is capable of storing about 1500 mcg of B12 if blood levels are about 300 pmol / l. 0.1% of these deposits is lost each day through the secretion in the intestine, since not all of the amount secreted is reabsorbed. When levels of B12 are removed, the quantities that are secreted in the intestines is reduced and the fraction absorbed increases, slowing the fall in blood levels of B12. The speed with which blood levels of B12 vary depends on the balance between B12 from the diet, amount of B12 excreted in the gut and absorbed amount. Genetic variability of enzymes such as MTHFR and then determine the rate at which homocysteine \u200b\u200bincreases, and when the fall in the levels of B12 triggers the damage to the nervous system.
The existence of these variables explains why B12 deficiency syndrome becomes clinically apparent within 1 year, if the initial stocks are low and the genetic structure-adverse or may not appear for entire decades. In young children, the syndrome can take place much faster. The crisis already sometimes becomes clinically apparent with blood levels below 200 pmol / l, but usually appears below levels of 70 pmol / l.
