Vitamin B12?!


Question: Vitamin B12!?
So here's the question:

I'm told that B-12 is only effective when intoduced by syringe intramuscular!. Such as if you have Pernicious Anemia!. I'm also told that taking B-12 orally in pill/capsule form is no good because (like insulin) should you ingest it the acid in the stomach destroys the components and it becomes useless!. may as well swallow a pebble!.

So!.!.!.!.why is B-12 sold in the stores in the vitaman section if swallowing it serves no purpose!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Vitamin B12
as CYANOCOBALAMIN is not absorb able from stomach!.
but Vitamin B12 as methylcobalmin it is fully absorb able from stomach!.

so take tablets of methylcobalmin 500 microgram OR 1500 microgram daily for 20 days

you will get benefit equal to the injectionWww@Answer-Health@Com

That is not true!. While IM administration is more effective, oral B12 is not useless!. If that were true, how would you absorb B12 from food!?

Oral B12 is normally combined with intrinsic factor which your stomach produces, and then is absorbed by the small intestine!. If you have pernicious anemia, you lack the intrinsic factor and therefore can't absorb the B12!. However, for a normal person without pernicious anemia, B12 suppliments DO have an effect!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Absorption of B12 requires the secretion from the cells lining the stomach of a glycoprotein, known as intrinsic factor!. The B12-intrinsic factor complex is then absorbed in the ileum (part of the small intestine) in the presence of calcium!.

Vitamin B12 can be stored in small amounts by the body!. Total body store is 2-5mg in adults!. Around 80% of this is stored in the liver!.

Vitamin B12 is excreted in the bile and is effectively reabsorbed!. This is known as enterohepatic circulation!. The amount of B12 excreted in the bile can vary from 1 to 10ug (micrograms) a day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its all about making money!. if companies can get people to believe it works then they will but it!. sorta like teeth whiteners!. most of them dont even work!. this includes crest whitestrips!. they work a little bit but not much!. so why even sell it!?!.!.!. its all about moneyWww@Answer-Health@Com

Wow - I did not know this!

BUT - I do take B12 daily and if I miss a day, I feel run down!.

So - does this mean that it was all in my head!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
