Le 13 juillet 1988, dans le village de Huos en Occitanie, trois membres d'une même famille sont tués à coups de sabre, de hache et de fusil. L'enquête aboutit à l'arrestation de Henri-Jean Jacomet, mari et beau-frère des victimes, coupable idéal. Il faudra treize ans, plusieurs séjours en prison, des grèves de la faim et un procès pour qu'il prouve son innocence.À 5h du matin, ce jour de juillet 1988, Henri-Jean Jacomet reprend la route d'Huos, après avoir fait les trois huit à la Cellulose d'Aquitaine, une usine de pâte à papier à Saint-Gaudens. Chez lui, un bout de papier posé sur un meuble : « Je suis chez moi. On t'attend. Bisous ». Le mot a été rédigé la veille par son épouse, Fabienne, 21 ans. En fin d'après-midi, pendant que lui faisait la sieste avant d'entamer son service, elle rejoignait sa soeur pour prendre le café chez leurs parents, absents, partis en vacances au bord de la mer.

Parmigiano Reggiano is a cheese made in Parma, Italy. It's a grass-fed cheese made with high standards not seen in American Parmesan cheese-making. Grass-fed cheese is loaded with microbes that come from the soil. Cows need the help of microbes to digest the fiber in the grass they consume. These microbes produce byproducts from the grass that help nourish the cow. The process of Parmesan cheese-making also involves microbes!Parmigiano Reggiano is made from 3 ingredients: high-quality cow's milk, salt, and an enzyme that turns the milk into cheese. The powdered Parmesan cheese at the grocery store contains cellulose, which is essentially wood pulp. Cellulose is a filler and can legally make up 8% of a product! U.S. Parmesan cheese also contains potassium sorbate. Parmigiano Reggiano is a raw product without fillers or preservatives that's aged at least 12 months. There are no aging requirements for Parmesan cheese. Some Parmigiano Reggiano is aged for 14 to 24 months, or longer. Microbes consume lactose during the aging process, so the finished product is often lactose-free. Parmigiano Reggiano has the following health benefits:•High in glutamate •Contains bioavailable calcium and phosphorus•Helps build glutathione, a potent antioxidant that supports liver health•Reduces blood pressure•Contains butyric acid, which supports brain healthParmigiano Reggiano has the highest amount of vitamin K2 compared to all other cheeses. Vitamin K2 redirects calcium in the arteries and joints to the teeth and bones. Parmigiano Reggiano contains MK-7, the most bioavailable form of vitamin K2.

Episode: 2361 Making ethanol from cellulose.  Today, we make moonshine.

This is music, that I suppose mycelium would love. Based on cellulose IE sounds from branches, leaves, fruits, seeds, etc., that are the things mycelium feed on. When doing my outdoor mycelium concerts, this is the basic soundscape I'll 'feed' to the environment, thus creating a fertile ground (literally) for the mycelium to engage in a fair trade - cellulose (sound) for bioelectricity (used in my eurorack modular setup via Scion Instruo, to give the mycelium a voice)

However, not all homes worldwide have access to such cooling systems. So, what can be done when the heat becomes unbearable? A promising solution may lie in a new type of cellulose material. Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed an innovative thin film that actually becomes cooler when exposed to direct sunlight. This cellulose-based material shows great potential as an electricity-free alternative to traditional air conditioning systems. 隨著氣候變遷的不斷加劇，夏季變得越來越炎熱，許多台灣家庭廣泛使用冷氣。然而，世界各地並非所有家庭都有冷氣系統。那麼，當天氣變得無法忍受時該怎麼辦？一種具有潛力的解決方案可能就在一種新型的纖維素材料中。劍橋大學的研究人員開發出一種創新的薄膜，當暴露在陽光下時實際上會變得更冷。這種基於纖維素的材料有望成為一種無需電力的傳統冷氣系統的替代品。 The film operates through passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC), effectively dissipating heat without raising the temperature of the surrounding air. Cellulose is one of the few plant-based compounds capable of achieving PDRC. By extracting "cellulose nanocrystals" (CNC) from sources like wood and other plants, the researchers created a suspension by dispersing CNC in water. Through the process of evaporation, a flexible arrangement of crystals is formed, which can then be coated onto white ethyl cellulose sheets, resulting in a captivating double-layered, rainbow-colored thin film. 該薄膜通過被動日間輻射冷卻（PDRC）運作，有效地散熱而不使周圍空氣的溫度升高。纖維素是少數能夠實現PDRC的植物基化合物之一。研究人員從木材和其他植物來源中提取出"纖維素奈米結晶"（CNC），並將CNC分散在水中，形成一種懸浮液。通過蒸發過程，形成了一種靈活的晶體排列，可以塗在白色乙基纖維素片上，形成一種迷人的雙層彩虹色薄膜。 In 2023, the University of Cambridge researchers showcased this experimental film at the American Chemical Society conference. When subjected to direct sunlight, the film displayed a temperature reduction of approximately 7 ℉ compared to the surrounding air. A square meter of this thin film generates cooling power exceeding 120 watts, which is comparable to the cooling effect provided by an air conditioner in a home without access to external power sources. The widespread application of this material on buildings and vehicles could significantly reduce the reliance on traditional air conditioning units. 2023年，劍橋大學的研究人員在美國化學學會會議上展示了這種實驗性薄膜。在直射陽光下，與周圍空氣相比，薄膜的溫度降低了約7華氏度。每平方米的薄膜產生的冷卻功率超過120瓦，這相當於家中沒有外部電源的冷氣的冷卻效果。如果將這種材料廣泛應用於建築物和車輛上，可以顯著減少對傳統冷氣的依賴。 An interesting characteristic of the cellulose film is its ability to reflect visible light, creating a colorful appearance similar to that of soap bubbles. Unlike other materials, the cellulose film achieves this without the need for additional pigments, as they would hinder the film's PDRC capabilities. This unique feature makes it highly suitable for applications that prioritize aesthetics, such as residential and automotive designs. Furthermore, there is potential for the film to mimic the appearance of wood finishes, expanding its range of applications. This avenue of research represents the team's next focus. 纖維素薄膜的一個有趣特點是它能夠反射可見光，創造出類似於肥皂泡沫的多彩外觀。與其他材料不同，這種纖維素薄膜無需添加額外的顏料即可實現這一效果，因為顏料會影響薄膜的PDRC能力。這種獨特的性質非常適合用在住宅和汽車設計等注重審美的地方。此外，該薄膜還具有模仿木質飾面的潛力，擴大了應用範圍。這是團隊下一個研究方向的重點。 Reference article: https://ccc.technews.tw/2023/06/09/cellulose-electricity-free-air-conditioning/

Welcome to Episode 54! https://sustainable-ecom.com/ep54 This week is our third episode in our mini-series on waste, this week we look at absolutely emerging technology in relation to chemical recycling of textiles. Chemical recycling per se isn't new.  There are a few amazing companies overseas like Renewcel that can take cellulosic textiles and recycle those into new yarn. But until now, there has never been a solution to blends. Enter my guest this week. Adrian Jones is the co-founder of Queensland-based chemical recycling company BlockTexx. Despite being what I think you would still call a start-up, they've already proved they can handle 85% of the typical textile fibre types, and are handling about 4000 tonnes of textiles this year. They have developed an incredibly exciting technology that I think we'll see becoming more and more important part of the textile recycling supply chain in the years to come.

Alex Blum was in a very successful career in technology sales when he realized he needed more purpose. The money was great, and his lifestyle was extravagant, but he felt he needed to produce more value for the world. This led him to look into humanitarian work, and he found himself in Bangladesh in the midst of the Rohingya Genocide, trying to help the refugees who were displaced.His story takes him from filming a documentary to increase visibility on the issue to meeting someone who would change his life forever. This person introduced Alex to the concept of bioplastics - using organic materials to make plastic products.Today, Alex Blum is the Founder and CEO of Applied Bioplastics. The company produces material for transitional housing for natural disaster response and uses the plant compound Cellulose to manufacture plastic products. Cellulose is combined with virgin resin to reduce CO2 levels in manufacturing and create a more renewable, sustainable product.

Kanazawa University NanoLSI Podcast: Chemists uncover cracks in the amour of cellulose nanocrystalsTranscript of this podcastHello and welcome to the NanoLSI podcast. Thank you for joining us today. In this episode we feature the latest research by Takeshi Fukuma and colleagues at the Kanazawa University NanoLSI. The research described in this podcast was published in the journal Science Advances in October 2022Kanazawa University NanoLSI website https://nanolsi.kanazawa-u.ac.jp/en/Chemists uncover cracks in the amour of cellulose nanocrystalsChemists in Japan, Canada and Europe have uncovered flaws in the surface structure of cellulose nanocrystals—an important step toward deconstructing cellulose to produce renewable nano-materials relevant to biochemical products, energy solutions, and biofuels.The findings—published in Science Advances—are the most detailed look yet at the surface chemistry and structure of individual cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) particles.The team, led by researchers at Kanazawa University, applied three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (3D-AFM) and molecular dynamics simulations to individual CNC fibres in water. The high-resolution scanning revealed new details of the cellulose chain arrangements on the CNCs surfaces.“This is an essential step towards understanding the mechanisms of CNC degradation, which is crucial for biomass conversion, with relevance to renewable nanomaterials and chemical production,” said Professor Takeshi Fukuma, Director of the Nano Life Science Institute at Kanazawa University.For the most part, the structure of a single CNC fibre showed honeycomb or zigzag chain arrangements on crystalline portions, interspersed with disordered, non-crystalline regions at irregular intervals. The researchers uncovered structural defects associated with the non-crystalline regions of the surface.“This is a great example of an international collaboration developed at the Nano Life Science Institute at Kanazawa University,” said University of British Columbia Professor Mark MacLachlan, Canada Research Chair in Supramolecular Materials and co-author on the paper. “It is important to visualize the surface and defects in these natural structures in order to advance their applications.”Chemists with Professor MacLachlan's lab at UBC helped devise the experiment, and synthesized and purified the cellulose nanocrystals for the project. Computational studies and modeling were undertaken by a team from Finland, led by Professor Adam Foster.The study also modelled the three-dimensional arrangement of water molecules near the CNC surface—which might offer material scientists additional clues to how the CNC surface might respond to molecular adsorption, diffusion and chemical reactions.ReferenceAyhan Yurtsever*, Pei-Xi Wang, Fabio Priante, Ygor Morais Jaques, Keisuke Miyazawa, Mark J.

My AP Biology Thoughts  Episode #41Welcome to My AP Biology Thoughts podcast, my name is Arthur and I am your host for episode 41 called Unit 1: Monomers and Polymers of the Macromolecules. Today we will be discussing dehydration and hydrolysis reactions in regards to macromolecules. Segment 1: Introduction to Monomers and Polymers of the MacromoleculesThe formation and breaking of macromolecules are essential for complex life to function. We will be discussing the chemical mechanisms by which macromolecules both form and break down.   Monomers: The unit components of the larger macromolecules. Polymers: What is formed when the monomers bond together, which are known as macromolecules. Dehydration synthesis: A water molecule being ejected in order to allow for a monomer to covalently bond to another monomer or polymer. Hydrolysis: A polymer splitting apart after reacting with a water molecule.   Activation energy: An energy threshold, which must be met in order for a reaction to proceed.   Segment 2: Example of Monomers and Polymers of the MacromoleculesMonosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates. In the presence of the necessary enzyme, a hydroxyl group is ripped off one of the monosaccharides and a hydrogen off the hydroxyl group of the other. This results in the two monosaccharides bonding together via an ether (glycosidic) bond as well as the formation of a water molecule. Conversely, this reaction can happen in reverse via hydrolysis.   The formation of triglycerides involves dehydration synthesis. An ester linkage is created between a fatty acid and a glycerol and a water molecule is released. A hydrogen is ripped of the carboxylic acid from the fatty acid and the hydroxyl is ripped off the glycerol. Polypeptide chains form via dehydration synthesis between two amino acids. An OH is ripped off the carboxylic acid and a hydrogen is ripped off the amine group, allowing the amino acids to covalently bond as well as allowing the formation of a water molecule. This occurs many times allowing for long polypeptide chains to form, which eventually leads to proteins.   Segment 3: Digging Deeper Monomers and Polymers of the MacromoleculesThe creation of macromolecules from monomers gives complex life its structure (ex. Cellulose). Additionally, the breaking down of macromolecules is essential for metabolism and the operations of cells (ex. Breaking down polysaccharides down to glucose for cellular respiration).   Thank you for listening to this episode of My AP Biology Thoughts. For more student-ran podcasts and digital content, make sure that you visit http://www.hvspn.com/ (www.hvspn.com). See you next time!

Vitamin B-12 - A truly essential vitamin. Webinar presented by: Celebrity Fitness Trainer Vinnie Tortorich & Andy Schreiber, CEO of Pure Vitamin Club What is Vitamin B-12? Also called "cobalamin," Vitamin B-12 is one of the 8 members of the B vitamin family, and is considered one of the "essential vitamins." The reason they're called "essential" is that they are literally required for the human body to work properly. There are 13 essential vitamins: Vitamin A Vitamin C Vitamin D (D2 and D3) Vitamin E Vitamin K (K1 & K 2) Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) Vitamin B3 (Niacin) Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) Vitamin B6 Vitamin B7 (Biotin) Vitamin B9 (Folate, or Folic Acid) Vitamin B12 The B Vitamins Water soluble (the body does not store them) Help the body convert food into fuel, which is used to produce energy Needed for healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver Help the nervous system function properly What Does Vitamin B-12 Do? Vitamin B12 helps keep the body's nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Vitamin B12 also helps prevent a type of anemia called megaloblastic anemia that makes people tired and weak. How Is Vitamin B-12 Absorbed? Two steps are required for the body to absorb vitamin B-12 from food. First, hydrochloric acid in the stomach separates vitamin B-12 from the protein to which vitamin B-12 is attached in food. After this, vitamin B-12 combines with a protein made by the stomach called intrinsic factor and is absorbed by the body. Some people have pernicious anemia, a condition where they cannot make intrinsic factor. As a result, they have trouble absorbing vitamin B-12 from all foods and dietary supplements. How B-12 Works With Other B Vitamins Vitamin B-12 works closely with Vitamin B-9 (Folate, or Folic Acid) to do the following: Make red blood cells and help iron work better in the body. Produce S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), a compound involved in immune function and mood Vitamin B-12 works closely with Vitamin B-9 and Vitamin B-6 to do the following: Control blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine. High levels of homocysteine are associated with heart disease. What Foods Contain Vitamin B-12? Vitamin B-12 does not occur in any plant-based foods. The best dietary sources are: Meat Fish & Seafood Poultry Dairy Products Eggs Some packaged foods, such as breakfast cereals, are "fortified" with Vitamin B-12, as well as with other vitamins, but these are by definition "processed" foods, and may not be the best choices for people trying to maintain a healthy diet. Will Vitamin B-12 Give Me Energy? It's a common myth that taking a Vitamin B-12 supplement will automatically give you a boost of energy. Unless you have a deficiency, or are in the "low normal" range of Vitamin B-12, there is no evidence that taking a B-12 supplement will increase your energy at all. What Is A Vitamin B-12 Deficiency? First it's important to understand what constitutes a deficiency for Vitamin B-12. There is some question about where the actual clinical cutoff is. Plasma Vitamin B-12 levels are measured in pmol/L – picomoles per liter. Some important numbers to know: The currently accepted cutoff for clinical "deficiency" is 148 pmol/L. The "low normal" range is between 149 and 257 pmol/L A major study from the 1970's, the Framingham Offspring Study, revealed some very surprising data about Vitamin B-12 levels in the population studied: Around 9% of the population fell below the clinical deficiency level (148 pmol/L) More than 16% of the population fell below 185 pmol/L, a seriously low level A full 39% of the population fell into the "low normal" range – below 258 pmol/L According to a nutritional epidemiologist at Tufts University in Boston, many people who fall into the under 185 level are actually fully deficient, in terms of the health effects, and a significant percentage of people in the under 258, or "low normal" range, can exhibit some of the neurological symptoms of clinical deficiency. What Are The Symptoms Of Vitamin B-12 Deficiency? • Chronic Fatigue • Mood Changes, Increased Depression or • Muscle Aches and Weakness Anxiety • Joint Pain • Abnormal Heart Problems / Palpitations • Difficulty Breathing/Shortness of Breath • Poor Dental Health, Including Bleeding Gums • Feeling Dizzy and Mouth Sores • Poor Memory • Digestive Problems like Nausea, Diarrhea, or • Inability to Concentrate Well Cramping • A Poor Appetite (A more serious deficiency can also cause pernicious anemia, which can cause memory loss, confusion, and even long-term dementia.) Who Is Most At Risk For Vitamin B-12 Deficiency? People over 50 People who take, or have taken for extended periods, antacids or proton inhibitors, such as Prilosec, Zantac, Prevacid, etc. People with digestive disorders, such as Crohn's disease, IBS, celiac disease, etc. People who take the diabetes drug Metformin Vegans and vegetarians Women who take birth control pills Women with a history of infertility or miscarriage What Do I Do If I Have A Vitamin B-12 Deficiency? Research shows that for people who have a Vitamin B-12 deficiency, increasing dietary intake of meat, fish, dairy, etc., may not be enough, and supplementation may be necessary. For most people with moderate deficiency, or who are in the "low normal" levels, oral supplementation is highly effective. For people with more serious deficiencies, it may be necessary to supplement with regular injections. What Is The Best Form Of Vitamin B-12? The two most common forms of Vitamin B-12 are methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin. Methylcobalamin is the form of B-12 that occurs in nature, and is by far the more preferred form for supplementation. Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of B-12 that binds the actual B-12 to a cyanide molecule. It is used in many commercially available Vitamin B-12 supplements, and can even be found in many brands of injectable B -12 prescribed by physicians. In order to utilize Cyanocobalamin, the liver must actually dispose of the cyanide molecule, and convert the cobalamin back to the methyl form. This greatly diminishes the effectiveness, and taxes the liver. So why do so many supplements, and even injections, use this form? It's CHEAPER! A LOT CHEAPER! Capsules, Liquid, or Tablet? What delivery method for B-12 is the best? Because B-12 absorption is so easily affected by levels of stomach acid, any pills that are swallowed are not the best option. You will sometimes see "Soft Chews," or other forms of candy used to deliver B-12, but these require sugar, or artificial sweeteners. Liquid supplements are effective, but difficult to transport and to dose accurately. Sub -lingual tablets dissolve under the tongue, delivering the B-12 directly to the blood stream, and are the most effective delivery method. How Are Sub-Lingual Tablets Made? Vitamin B-12, as taken in supplements, is measured in "micrograms," so the physical amount even in a high-dose supplement is very small. To visualize this – a typical multivitamin capsule contains about 850 mg of raw material. A high dosage of Vitamin B-12 is between 1,000 and 5,000 mcg, or between 1 and 5 mg. On the left, you can see that even the highest dose of B-12, 5,000 mcg, barely even shows up against the amount in a typical capsule. This means that a filler of some sort must be used to create a tablet large enough to even register or be able to handle. So What Do Most Tablets Use As A Base? Because the amount of cobalamin in a Vitamin B-12 supplement is so small, by definition it requires that the cobalamin be attached to some sort of base material. Virtually all products available use one of two such materials. Either: Lactose – a disaccharide sugar composed of galactose and glucose that is found in milk. Lactose makes up around 2 – 8% of milk. Lactose is a poor choice for a lot of people, as many people are lactose intolerant. Additionally, vegans, who need to rely on supplementation to meet their B-12 needs, cannot take lactose, as it is an animal product. Sawdust The other, and even more commonly used base material, or "bulking agent," is Microcrystalline Cellulose – a refined wood pulp used as a texturizer and anti-caking agent, and a bulking agent in food production. Cellulose is the substance that makes up most of a plant's cell walls, and is the most abundant organic compound on earth. Broccoli is essentially cellulose, as are strawberries, tomatoes, as well as wood. NOT ALL CELLULOSE IS CREATED EQUAL Microcrystalline Cellulose in particular is what is known as a "micro-nano particle," meaning it is incredibly small. According to George Burdock, PhD, and Sabine Teske, PhD,: "Our cells cannot stop the micro-nano particles from entering them, and once there they are not able to be useful, but float in and out of the cell membranes, and basically clog up tiny places in our bodies, bioaccumulating as we take more, and causing background inflammation to rise." Great For The Floor Of A Honky-Tonk. Lousy For Your Body. Microcrystalline Cellulose is one of the worst ingredients you can put in your body. Burdock and Teske state further: "Once in the body, some particles have changed the shape or conformation of proteins, creating a protein similar to that produced in Alzheimer's disease. Changing protein conformation can potentially create new allergenic proteins in organs to which the body could mount an immune response." Binders and Flow Agents Both Lactose and Microcrystalline Cellulose need a binding agent in order to hold together as a tablet. Some of these ingredients, like "acacia gum," or "guar gum," are fairly benign. Others, such as certain sugars and synthetic polymers, are to be completely avoided. While capsules can be made (thought most aren't) without any form of lubricant, tablets are another matter. Without some sort of lubricant, the raw materials accumulate on the pins that punch out the tablets, making production impossible. The lubricant, or "flow agent," used by the vast majority of tablets is Magnesium Stearate, or Stearic Acid. Magnesium Stearate is not a source of magnesium and has no health benefits. It may, in fact, have a detrimental effect on your immune function, as stearic acid has been linked to suppression of T Cells, the main line of defense in your immune system. It also stimulates your gut to form a biofilm, which can prevent proper absorption of nutrients in your digestive tract. Sweeteners, Artificial Flavors, and Artificial Colors Because they're meant to dissolve under the tongue, most sub-lingual tablets contain artificial sweeteners, such as sorbitol or mannitol, as well as artificial flavors and artificial colors. For people who are taking vitamins in order to maintain their health, the use of these ingredients is highly counter-productive. As we say at Pure Vitamin Club – these are vitamins, not candy. Pure Vitamin Club's Sub-Lingual Vitamin B-12 Tabs Pure Vitamin Club was founded in 2014, with a mission to provide the purest, highest quality nutritional supplements available, using the highest quality ingredients, in carefully balanced formulas, and absolutely no junk ingredients. We started with just one product – our Daily Multicap, an all-purpose multivitamin/multimineral formula. In January 2016, we introduced our Broad Spectrum Magnesium Caps, a unique formulation of four different types of magnesium, specifically designed to provide the maximum benefit from each, while minimizing any unwanted side effects. A Revolutionary Approach PVC's first two products were both capsules. While most manufacturers told us creating a capsule without fillers, flow agents, or other junk ingredients was impossible, we persisted, and by so doing, launched a revolution in nutritional supplementation. Creating a tablet, however, was a much more difficult proposition. As laid out previously, we faced these challenges: Finding a base ingredient that was natural, non-toxic, could be tolerated well by everybody, and which would actually add nutritional benefit to the formula. Finding a way to hold the tablet together in the absence of any artificial binding agent. Finding a way to keep the integrity of the tablets while not impeding the production process. Creating a tablet that dissolved easily under the tongue, was an effective delivery system of the B-12, and was palatable. If At First You Don't Succeed… After much research, a whole lot of trial and error, some more research, and a lot of dedication, we finally arrived at a formulation that delivered everything we wanted – the cleanest, most natural, and best sub-lingual Vitamin B-12 supplement ever created. First Of Its Kind Methylcobalamin, the preferred form of B-12, in a dose of 2,000 mcg Calcium Citrate – a base ingredient that is also a nutrient. Calcium Laurate – a natural lubricant that does not inhibit absorption or hamper immune function. Made of calcium and lauric acid, a medium-chain triglyceride commonly found in coconut oil. No Magnesium Stearate!! No binders! The calcium citrate is compressible, so with just the right amount of pressure, the tablet holds together all on its own, yet still dissolves easily under the tongue. No artificial sweeteners. Remember, these are vitamins, not candy. No artificial flavors. Again – not candy. No artificial colors. We don't care what color our vitamins are, as long as they're pure and they work – and neither should you. So these are exactly the color the ingredients are. How Do I Get It?

Your Questions Brent asks: "How much Vitamin B-12 is too much? What about the other Vit-B's?" Intake recommendations for vitamin B12 and other nutrients are provided in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) developed by the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) at the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies. The "UL" is the "Tolerable Upper Limit" of any given nutrient. There is no UL for Vitamin B-12. It is a water-soluble vitamin, and virtually impossible to overdose on. Any excess that the body cannot use will simply be excreted in the urine. As for the other B Vitamins, most also have no recommended UL. The biggest exception is Vitamin B3, known as Niacin. Niacin is a vasodilator, and as such, in higher doses it can cause a reaction known as a "niacin flush" – a flushing of the skin, accompanied by a burning and itching sensation. While not dangerous, it can be very uncomfortable. Lori asks: "Will increasing intake of Vitamin B-12 help lower cortisol levels?" This is actually a sort of complicated answer. When cortisol is released in response to stress, inflammation occurs. High cortisol levels are associated with high homocysteine levels, a marker of inflammation. Vitamin B-12 helps control inflammation by converting homocysteine to methionine, an amino acid. The effects of high cortisol on inflammation can be buffered by vitamin B-12. Paradoxically, B-12 can actually help for people whose cortisol levels are too low as well. Bottom line is, B-12 helps to regulate levels of hormones, including cortisol, and helps to mitigate the inflammatory effects of elevated cortisol. Manny asks: "Can B12 help older people with the elasticity of their skin?" A number of vitamins contribute to maintaining healthy skin elasticity. These include Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Vitamin E. The B Vitamins, in particular B-12, folate, and B-6, help lower blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine. Elevated homocysteine can block enzymes that are essential for the normal meshing of collagen and elastin. Other B vitamins, including biotin and niacin, also contribute to healthy skin. James asks: "Could you comment on the NIH fact sheet on B12? Is not folic acid needed in conjunction with B12?" All of the B vitamins work well together on a number of fronts. However, overly high levels of folic acid, or folate, can mask the symptoms of B-12 deficiency by correcting the megaloblastic anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency without correcting the neurological damage that also occurs. That's why we recommend a higher dose of B-12, but not the higher dose of Folate. Adelina asks: "I don't get enough sleep, and as much as I try to prioritize it I just don't have time to go to bed earlier, or get up later. I'm pretty tired all the time. Would taking B-12 help me? We got a number of variations of this question, including from Christine and others. The answer is that B-12 will help only if the reason you're tired is that you are either deficient in B -12, or in the "low normal" range. This can be determined by a simple blood test, but you can also try B-12 and see if it helps. A dose of at least 1,000 mcg or more would be necessary to correct the kind of deficiency or low level enough for you to really feel the difference. Brett asks: "What time of day is it optimal to take B-12?" Simple answer – it's probably best to take B-12 in the morning, but there are no hard and fast rules. Herbert asks: "Elite ultra runners that are VEGAN living/training/racing at altitude: how many strikes against them if not taking B-12 sublingual?" Simple answer – three strikes! Vegans NEED B-12 supplementation, and ultra athletes will also benefit greatly from increased supplementation. Debra asks: "Vinnie, I have chosen to take a sublingual B12 and read that methylcobalamin is what you want...not cyanocobalamin. So I switched. I take 5000 per day once in the a.m. How's that? Also I'm old. 62. But still kinda cute." It's great that you're taking methylcobalamin, instead of cyanocobalamin, and also great that you're taking a sublingual. 5,000 mcg in the morning is a great dose, though you may be just fine on a lower dose, like our 2,000 mcg formula. The biggest issue is what those sub-lingual tablets are made of, and what additional crap ingredients they contain. Whatever you're taking – read the label! If you see Magnesium Stearate, Stearic Acid, Mannitol, Sorbitol, etc. – throw them out.
