Fixing a Functional B12 Deficiency
B12 deficiency is more than just a number on a lab report; it can impact your energy levels, neurological function, and overall well-being. When it comes to correcting this deficiency, addressing the situation both quickly and completely are essential for recovery. The fastest and most effective way to get your B12 levels back on track may not be as simple as taking a high-dose B12 pill or having your doctor give you a one-time B12 injection. Thankfully, the optimal solution isn’t much more complicated than that, but it does require some nuance.
To follow the most convincing argument for dismissal of a high-dose vitamin B12 pill, it's crucial to understand that oral B12 absorption is often limited by intrinsic factor saturation, which is about 5-10 micrograms per meal. The remainder of absorption relies on passive diffusion, which may be less than 1% effective. The oral absorption limit is especially true for individuals with digestive issues or those who may have genetic variations affecting B12 absorption.
So, if oral supplements aren't the answer, what is?
The key lies in bypassing the digestive system altogether. Injectable B12 has long been a gold standard, delivering the vitamin directly into the bloodstream. But there's another option gaining traction: transdermal B12. By applying B12 directly to the skin, when incorporated into an effective microemulsion delivery system, you can bypass the digestive system and ensure optimal absorption. Spectrum Sciences has developed Activated B12 Oil for this purpose, making it your ticket to quickly addressing a B12 deficiency.
My B12 appears high on labs but I still display symptoms of B12 deficiency. What's the deal with that?
Some studies suggest that many individuals, including those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, may have difficulties processing B12 in the cell. Supplying enough B12 is only part of the problem – improving intracellular processing is equally important. This is why following the B12 Protocol, which is designed to not only supply adequate B12 in the most useable forms, but to also improve intracellular processing of B12 so it gets put to use, is the ticket to completely addressing the functional deficiency.
B12 that cannot be processed intracellularly is like having a checking account at the bank without the ability to withdraw funds. The balance may appear healthy on paper, but the person's finances would be in disarray without ability to use that money! So it is with our cellular health if we have ample supply of B12 with limited ability to utilize it within the cell.
The B12 Protocol, emphasizes the importance of consistent and sufficient B12 intake, along with other nutrient cofactors to improve intracellular processing, through methods that bypass typical absorption barriers. Activated B12 Oil is a transdermal B12 product that offers a convenient and effective way to achieve this, as part of the complete protocol.
This approach may be necessary to reverse a functional B12 deficiency, where the body struggles to utilize B12 effectively, even when blood levels appear normal.
