There are eight B-vitamins that benefits overall health, including keeping your nerves healthy. But three of these vitamins – Thiamine (B1), Pyridoxine (B6), and Cobalamin (B12) are mainly known to support nervous system function. Continue reading to find out how these three B-complex vitamins help support your nervous system and keep it in tip-top shape. Thiamine (B1) Vitamin B1 has a huge benefit to your central nervous system (CNS). This vitamin aids the synthesis of acetylcholine, which is one of the most abundant neurotransmitters in your CNS. This chemical helps to relay messages from your brain to your body muscles, thereby influencing movement and behavior. Acetylcholine also helps memory and cognitive function. More so, it plays a role in regulation of hormones, learning, sleep cycles, and pain sensation. Now, imagine if your body is not producing enough of acetylcholine because you're having vitamin B1 deficiency. You'll not only experience fatigue, but you'll suffer poor short-term memory and confusion. Your feet and hands may become numb and your movement hampered. So ensure you're getting enough of vitamin B1 in your diet. Some thiamine-rich foods you can include in your diet include beans, nuts and seeds, beef, yeast, liver, oranges, eggs, pork, peas, legumes, and oranges. Pyridoxine (B6) While thiamine is essential for the synthesis of acetylcholine, pyridoxine is needed in the synthesis of other neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and serotonin. Norepinephrine is the stress hormone helpful in triggering a fight-or-flight response. This neurotransmitter helps increase the amount of oxygen in your brain, helping you to think and make decisions faster. Serotonin is an import neurotransmitter responsible for regulating your appetite, mood, and sexual desire. It also helps to enhance your memory and maintain your sleep cycle. Vitamin B6 also plays an important role in myelin formation – the insulating sheath around your nerves. This helps in quick and efficient transmission of electrical impulses along your nerves. When you're deficient in vitamin B6, you tend to feel more tired, irritable, nervous, and depression. This vitamin deficiency is also linked with conditions such as neuritis, neuralgia, and carpal tunnel syndrome. So it is important to add pyridoxine-rich foods to your diet. Some good options including meat, legumes, bananas, avocados, fish, tofu, soybean, and potatoes. Cobalamin (B12) Both vitamin B6 and B12 are needed for maintaining your myelin. Cobalamin helps in the synthesis of myelin that protects the nerves. If myelin becomes damaged, it can lead to dysfunctional nerves, which leads to problems such as peripheral neuropathy. Pregnant women who do not eat foods rich in cobalamin puts their babies at risk of nervous system disorders like seizures, brain atrophy, microencephaly, and even blindness. Some good food options that are rich in vitamin B12 include read meat, fish, poultry, eggs, lamb, liver, fortified yeast products, and milk. Looking at these benefits of the B-complex vitamins for your nervous health, it is important that you get enough of these vitamins from your diet or take supplements (as approved by your doctor). If you're going to load up on B vitamin supplements, ensure you choose options with optimum combination of the B vitamins to prevent running into deficiency in any form. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC, to learn more about how vitamins support your nervous system and other bodily functions.

In the previous article, we've described what B vitamins are, the eight types, their functions and food sources. In this article, let's proceed to talk about the common symptoms associated with a deficiency in each of the eight B-group vitamins. B vitamins are essential for maintaining cell health and keeping you energized, and you must keep taking them in adequate amount since they are water-soluble and are not stored in the body. This means excess amount is given out through urine, and you have to load up on these vitamins daily to stay healthy. Some foods are high in several B vitamins, while certain foods are particularly high in a specific B vitamin. However, eating a balanced diet is key to getting all these vitamins, at least in amounts that your body needs. How much of B vitamins should you be taking? The recommended daily intakes are: Vitamin B1: 1-1 – 1.2 mg Vitamin B2: 1.1 -1.3 mg Vitamin B3: 14 -16 mg Vitamin B5: 5 mg Vitamin B6: 1.3 mg Vitamin B7: 30 mcg Vitamin B9: 400 mcg Vitamin B12: 2.4 mcg A normal healthy and balanced diet should supply you with all these vitamins in adequate amounts, but some common symptoms are associated with a deficiency in any of these vitamins. However, if you have a deficiency, it is something that must be determined by your doctor. But unfortunately, some of us suffer vitamin B deficiencies. The high-risk group includes pregnant women, people with certain conditions such as Celiac disease, Crohn's disease, and HIV. What are the symptoms of Vitamin B deficiency? Symptoms of vitamin B deficiency vary based on the particular B vitamin you're deficient in. Here's a quick rundown of the symptoms of deficiency of each B vitamin Vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 deficiency is very rare because many foods including whole-grain cereals and milk are fortified with these vitamins. Vitamin B3 deficiency is also very rare but severe deficiency of this vitamin can result in a condition known as “pellagra,” which is characterized by symptoms such as: a bright red tongue a rough skin that turns red or brown in the sun constipation and diarrhea vomiting aggressive, paranoid, or suicidal behavior fatigue hallucinations Vitamin B5 deficiency is extremely rare because it is found in such a variety of foods, including kidneys, milk, egg, meats, legumes, and many more. Vitamin B6 deficiency is also rare, but people women on contraceptive pills, people who drink excessive amounts of alcohol, people with thyroid disease and the elderly are more at risk. Vitamin B7 is required in very small amounts and it is widely distributed in foods, so its deficiency is very rare. However, over-consumption of raw egg whites for several months can induce deficiency. This is because a protein in egg white inhibits the absorption of biotin. Bodybuilders should keep this in mind. Vitamin B9 deficiency is also very rare, but low levels of this vitamin can result in the following: trouble concentrating fatigue megaloblastic anemia, which cause weakness heart palpitations shortness of breath headache irritability change in hair, skin, or fingernail color open sores in the mouth Pregnant women who are deficient in vitamin B9 or folate could end up having babies born with neural tube defects. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to disruption in the circulatory and nervous system. Also, a deficiency in this vitamin can lead to megaloblastic anemia, a condition characterized by the production of large abnormally shaped red blood cells by the bone marrow. The red blood cells do not function properly. Some common symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency includes: weakness tiredness or fatigue confusion weight loss constipation poor memory soreness of the mouth balance problems loss of appetite If you suspect you might be deficient in a B vitamin, you can contact your doctor for physical examination and blood testing. To prevent a deficiency in the B vitamins, however, you should always eat a varied diet of vegetables, fruits, lean meats, and grains. This way, you'll be getting all the nutrients you need. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our chiropractic office in Elizabeth City NC, to learn more about symptoms of deficiency to watch out for and good food options to include in your diet to get adequate amount of B vitamins.  

What are the common B vitamins? - Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Vitamins are found naturally in food and needed in small amounts by the body for various functions, including the making of red blood cells, supporting the immune system and boosting energy production. There are 13 essential vitamins that our body needs, and the B-group vitamins make up eight of them. Here at our Chiropractic office, we're concerned about what you take in your foods to maintain optimal health. We'll show you all you need to know about the B-vitamins, so you're sure of what you're consuming, especially in form of supplements.   What are B- vitamins? B-vitamins are water-soluble vitamins essentials that support several metabolic processes in the body. However, most B vitamins cannot be synthesized or stored by the body. This means you must consume them in your diet.    Types of B vitamins The eight types of B vitamins include: Thiamine (B1) Thiamine, also called vitamin B1, has a strong role in nervous function and helps covert glucose into energy. Some good food sources of thiamine include legumes, whole meal cereal grains, seeds, yeast, pork, nuts, and wheat germ. Riboflavin (B2) Riboflavin supports vision and skin health, but it is primarily involved in energy production Some good food sources of vitamin B2 include yogurt, milk, cottage cheese, egg white, leafy green vegetables, kidney, yeast, liver, meat, and wholegrain breads and cereals. Niacin (B3) Niacin or vitamin B3 is needed for the body to convert fat, carbohydrates, and alcohol into energy. It also supports the digestive and nervous system, and maintains skin health. Niacin is heat stable, only a little is lost in cooking. Some good food sources of Niacin include poultry, meats, fish, eggs, wholegrain breads and cereals, milk, mushrooms, nuts, and all-protein-containing foods. Pantothenic acid (B5) Pantothenic acid is essential for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates metabolism. It is also needed to produce steroid hormones and red blood cells Some good food sources of pantothenic acid include meats, liver, milk, eggs, kidneys, legumes, peanuts, and yeast. Pyridoxine (B6) Pyridoxine is also needed to metabolize carbohydrates and protein, and it is essential in the formation of red blood cells and certain brain chemicals. This vitamin influences immune function, brain processes and development, and steroid hormone activity. Some good food sources of vitamin B6 include legumes, cereal grains, fish and shellfish, fruits, liver, meat and poultry, green and leafy vegetables, and nuts. Biotin (B7) Biotin is essential for fat synthesis, energy metabolism, glycogen synthesis, and amino acid metabolism. However, taking too much biotin can contribute to raise blood cholesterol levels. Some good food sources of biotin include egg yolks, liver, chicken, mushrooms, cauliflower, peanuts, and yeast. Folic acid or Folate (B9) Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, and it is needed for red blood cells formation. It is also helps in the development of the fetal nervous system, DNA synthesis and cell growth. Every woman within childbearing age needs to take diets rich in Folate. Some good food sources of this vitamin include legumes, green leafy vegetables, poultry, cereals, eggs, liver, and citrus fruits. Cobalamin (B12) Cobalamin helps in red blood cell formation, the production and maintenance of the myelin surrounding nerve cells, and breaking down of some amino acids and fatty acids to produce energy. Some good food sources of this vitamin include meat, liver, cheese, eggs, cheese, milk, and almost anything of animal origin. It is important to always eat a balanced diet containing an adequate amounts of these vitamins. All the B vitamins are water soluble, but not stored in the body. So any excess amount is excreted in the urine. This means you need to constantly replenish your body with this vitamin from your diet. You may also get vitamin B in supplemental form to ensure you're getting the amount your body needs on a daily basis, but it is advisable to always get approval from your doctor or dietician before starting. We shall discuss the symptoms of B vitamin deficiency in our next article. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our chiropractic office at Elizabeth City to learn more about the benefits of adding the B-group vitamins to your diet.

Vitamin B 12 spielt in Kombination mit Vitamin B9(Folsäure) im Prozess der Energieherstellung eine wichtige Rolle. In der Episode erfährst Du, wie es zu einem Mangel an Vitamin B12 kommt, welche Symptome dabei auftreten und wie das mit dem Energiestoffwechsel zusammenhängt. Du bekommst weiterhin Hinweise zur Substitution von Vitamin B12 bei Mangelzuständen.

If you’re trying out a vegan diet, you’re likely to be told to make sure you get enough vitamin B12. Ben Valsler asks what B12 does, where we get it from, and how can we be sure we’re getting enough?

Lt. Dr. Brian Clement kommt ein Vitamin B12 Mangel bei Fleischessern und Vegetarien noch häufiger vor als bei Veganern oder Rohköstlern. Der Grund liegt darin, dass Vitamin B 12 eine Bakterienart aus dem Boden ist. Durch das Sammeln von Wildkräutern nehmen insbesondere Rohköstler diese gesunde Form der Bodenbakterien über die Wildpflanzen auf. Da die meisten Menschen in der zivilisierten Welt jedoch nicht mehr so naturnah leben, empfiehlt das Hippocrates Health Insititut generell für alle Ernährungsrichtungen die tägliche Supplementierung von Vitamin B12, wobei Dr. Clement NICHT Methylcobalamin empfiehlt, sondern Vitamin B12 aus dem speziellen Hefeextrakt „Saccharomyces Cerevisiae“. Methyl-, Cyano- oder jede andere Form von künstlichem Cobalamin wird von Dr. Brian Clement nicht empfohlen, da es sich dabei lt. Clement nicht um ein lebendiges Vitamin B12 handelt. Ausführliche Infos zu Vitamin B12 und Methylcobalamin sind zu finden unter: https://hippocratesinst.de/rohkost-produkte/vitamin-b12-rohkost/ inkl. Produktempfehlungen für natürliches Vitamin B 12 und natürliche Bezugsquellen für gutes Vitamin B 12 / *empfohlen von Dr. Brian Clement. Auch der Rohkostarzt Dr. Bauer (Klinik St. Moritz) konnte jahrzehntelang an seinen Patienten durch die Verabreichung eines bestimmten Hefepräparates beobachten, dass Hefeextrakt aus "Saccharomyces Cerevisiae" eine gute Quelle für Vitamin B12 ist.

Eggs, Eggs, Eggs. Although eggs are exceptional for your health they are one of those foods that are, "Hot then you're cold You're yes then you're no..." (Katie Perry 2008). Doctors have warned people against eating eggs and then they tell them their great. So which is it? Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods out there. They're low in the calories and high in the protein. They also contain vitamins and trace minerals. People into bodybuilding and elderly people should have at least one egg per day. In fact, we all should. With 6 g of protein per egg and 77 calories, they are a powerhouse when it comes to food. Nutrients In Eggs While the egg whites (albumin) contain a small portion of the nutrients, the majority comes from the yolk. With vitamins and minerals such as A, D, B6, B12, Selenium, and only 5 g. of fat, it doesn't take a genius to see eggs are a must in your daily diet. On average one large egg contains: Vitamin B12 (cobalamin): .4 micrograms or 9% of the RDA "Vitamin B-12 affects every cell in your body because of its role in your circulatory system. Cobalamin helps you to make heme, the component of your red blood cells that allows them to supply every tissue in your body with oxygen. A lack of vitamin B-12 causes anemia, a condition that develops when your blood can no longer properly oxygenate your body. Cobalamin also supports cardiovascular health by controlling the levels of homocysteine -- an amino acid -- in your bloodstream. By helping your body metabolize homocysteine into less harmful compounds, vitamin B-12 prevents the high homocysteine levels that can contribute to heart disease. Getting enough vitamin B-12 also protects you from nerve damage by maintaining your myelin sheath, a fatty coating that surrounds your nerve cells and facilitates nerve function" (Written by Sylvie Tremblay, MSc 2018). Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): 15% of the RDA "Vitamin B2 is a water-soluble vitamin, so it dissolves in water. All vitamins are either water soluble or fat soluble. Water-soluble vitamins are carried through the bloodstream, and whatever is not needed passes out of the body in urine. People need to consume vitamin B2 every day because the body can only store small amounts, and supplies go down rapidly. Riboflavin occurs naturally in some foods, added to others, and it can be taken as supplements. Most of it is absorbed in the small intestine" (By Christian Nordqvist 2017). Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA "Vitamin A is found in different forms. Preformed vitamin A occurs in meat, fish, and dairy produce. Provitamin A is stored in fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based products. Retinol is the predominant, active form of vitamin A found in the blood. Retinyl palmitate is the storage form of the vitamin. Beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A and is found in plants ... meat, eggs, and milk" (Medical News Today). Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): 7% of the RDA "Vitamin B5, also called pantothenic acid and pantothenate, is vital to living a healthy life. Like all B complex vitamins, B5 helps the body convert food into energy. B5 is naturally found in many food sources. "Pantothenic," in fact, means "from everywhere," because the vitamin is available in so many food sources" ( Alina Bradford, Live Science Contributor 2018). Selenium: 22% of the RDA Selenium is an essential trace mineral that is important for many bodily processes, including cognitive function, a healthy immune system, and fertility in both men and women.It contributes to thyroid hormone metabolism and DNA synthesis, and it helps protect against oxidative damage and infection, according to the United States Office of Dietary Supplements. It is present in human tissue, mostly in skeletal muscle. Dietary sources are varied. They include Brazil nuts, seafood, eggs, and meats. The amount of selenium in food often depends on the selenium concentration of the soil and water where farmers grew or raised the food" (Meg...

Notyer og links på SIVP.dk/77 Dr. Susan Little er kattespecialist og har arbejdet med katte i over 20 år. Hun leder 2 klinikker kun for katte og holder et have af forelæsninger over hele verden. Kun 4 symptomer Susan siger (mest for sjov) at katte kun har 4 symptomer: Anorexi, nedstemthed, opkast og diarre. Derfor kan de være svære at undersøge og lave diagnostik på. Susan fortæller, at vi skal være særligt opmærksom på deltajer i anamnesen, som ejeren ikke selv tænker over. Især kan den sociale balance mellem katte i et hjem betyde meget for heldbredet. Uopdaget diarre giver også en del sygdomme, som kan være svære at spore sig ind på. Paraklinisk undersøgelse For Susan er både blodprøve og urinundersøgelse relevant, men vi skal være omhyggelig med at forklare ejeren at i muligvis ikke finder svaret. Vi kan muligvis finde spore, men ejeren skal på forhånd have realistiske forventninger. Af særlige værdier kan Feline PL (FPL), TLI og Cobalamin være relevant. Det kan være med til at rule in/rule out gastroentestinale lidelser. T4 og blodtryksmåling er også relevant for katte der over 5 år. FIV/FeLV test er også vigtigt, men kan være falsk negativ ved bestemte forhold.
