Auburn Chiropractic Discussion of Vitamin B for Brain
Vitamin B supports 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 needed dietary components for healthy life. (1) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. understands vitamins’ importance to the health of our Auburn chiropractic patients and their deficiency’s contribution to our Auburn chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. offers many Auburn chiropractic care choices to diagnose as well as resolve health concerns you bring to your Auburn chiropractic appointment.
Health is often reliant upon proper vitamin levels as it’s now recognized 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) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. carefully listens to our patients for any sign of depression.
Another subset of patient to check B levels in are Auburn diabetic patients. 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 play a role in the vitamin B12 level, also. (2) Your Auburn chiropractor understands diabetes well.
Vitamins play a preventive role of cancer, particularly in the initial stages of the cancer development. Folate (B9), vitamins B2, B6, and B12 are quite important. Specifically, a low level of folate (B9) affects 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 present to ward off serious illnesses. (4)
Vitamin B12 itself is also quite important. It’s essential for cellular function. It’s an essential micronutrient as humans don’t make it. 15% of us Auburn 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 put us at risk for coronary artery disease. Vitamin B12 has to be obtained by eating animal proteins. When vitamin B12 is eaten, it goes through a complicated absorption and assimilation process. (5) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. encourages our Auburn chiropractic patients to check their B12 levels. If they are low, let us together, Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. and you, make a plan to improve them.
Why? A low level of 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.
