Carrolltown Chiropractic Discussion of Vitamin B for Brain

February 14, 2017

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

Not so long ago, vitamins were not always considered that important. Vitamins are really necessary dietary components for healthy life. (1) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation gets the importance of vitamins to the health of our Carrolltown chiropractic patients and their influence on our Carrolltown chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. At Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation, a full host of Carrolltown 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 lack of them may affect not just bodily issues but also psychiatric disorders. A vitamin B deficiency may influence memory, dementia and cognitive function. Shortages of B1, B3, B6, B9 and B12 – all vital for neuronal function – are related to depression. The multifaceted nature of depression is interconnected with vitamin B. (1) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation 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 reduce serum cyanocobalamin (B12) levels. Patient age, dosage, years of taking it, and time of the diabetes diagnosis likely influence the vitamin B12 level, as well. (2) Your Carrolltown 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 very important. Specifically, a low level of folate (B9) affects dendritic cell function which impacts T helper cell differentiation. (T helper cells activate 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 present for the prevention of serious illnesses. (4)

Vitamin B12 itself is also really important. It’s essential for cellular function. It’s an essential micronutrient as we do not produce it. Statistics say that those of us in Carrolltown who are over 65 years of age must be aware of B12 deficiency; 15% of us are lacking! 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 undergoes an intricate process of absorption and assimilation. (5) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation encourages our Carrolltown chiropractic patients to test their B12 levels. If they are low, let’s together, Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation and you, set a plan to improve them.

Why? A vitamin B12 deficiency brings on a range 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 Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation to guide you to the necessary care for any B12 deficiency found.
