Minster 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 weren’t always accepted as mainstream. Vitamins are really essential dietary components for healthy life. (1) Minster Chiropractic Center understands vitamins’ importance to the health of our Minster chiropractic patients and their deficiency’s contribution to our Minster chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. At Minster Chiropractic Center, a full host of Minster chiropractic care options exist to determine the source of your current concern and return to you to your desired quality of life.

Health is often reliant upon proper vitamin levels as it is now known that a deficiency of them may be linked to 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) Minster Chiropractic Center pays attention to our patients carefully for any depression symptoms.

Diabetic patients also get some special consideration when looking at vitamin B levels. Patients with diabetes many times take metformin. This drug may lower 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 Minster chiropractor understands diabetes well.

Vitamins play a preventive role of cancer, particularly in the early stages of the cancer development. Folate (B9), vitamins B2, B6, and B12 are quite important. Specifically, a low level of folate (B9) messes with dendritic cell function which influences T helper cell differentiation. (T helper cells trigger the immune responses in the body.) (3) B vitamins’ metabolism is significant, delivering compounds for DNA synthesis and repair processes. Researchers are excited about the potential vitamins like B offer to ward off serious illnesses. (4)

Vitamin B12 itself is also quite important. It’s essential for cellular function. It’s a vital micronutrient as humans cannot produce it. 15% of us Minster folks who are older than 65 don’t have enough vitamin B12. B12 deficiency results in blood and neurological issues. We may be at risk for coronary artery disease if our B12 levels are low.|Low B12 levels may also mean we have a higher risk of coronary artery disease. Vitamin B12 has to be obtained by eating animal proteins. Eaten vitamin B12 experiences an intricate process of absorption and assimilation. (5) Minster Chiropractic Center encourages our Minster chiropractic patients to check their B12 levels. If they are low, let us together, Minster Chiropractic Center and you, make a plan to raise 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. The good news is that the researchers who found these issues were able to help the patients with vitamin B12 supplementation. (6) Trust Minster Chiropractic Center to direct you to the necessary care for any B12 deficiency uncovered.
