Ashburn and Herndon Chiropractic Discussion of Vitamin B for Brain

February 14, 2017

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 essential dietary components for healthy life. (1) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn understands vitamins’ importance to the health of our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients and their deficiency’s contribution to our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn offers many Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic care choices to diagnose as well as resolve health issues you bring to your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic appointment.

Health is often reliant upon proper vitamin levels as it is now recognized that a deficiency of them may be linked to not just bodily issues but also psychiatric disorders. A vitamin B deficiency may influence memory, dementia and cognitive function. Deficiencies 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) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn carefully listens to our patients for any sign of depression.

Another subset of patient to check B levels in are Ashburn and Herndon diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes are often prescribed 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, too. (2) Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor understands diabetes well.

Vitamins play a preventive role of cancer, particularly in the early stages of the cancer development. Folate (B9), vitamins B2, B6, and B12 are rather important. Specifically, a low level of folate (B9) messes with dendritic cell function which impacts 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 really important. It’s essential for cellular function. It’s a vital micronutrient as we can’t produce it. Statistics say that those of us in Ashburn and Herndon who are over 65 years of age must be aware of B12 deficiency; 15% of us are lacking! If we have low levels of B12, neurological disorders and blood disorders may arise. 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) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn encourages our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients to check their B12 levels. If they are low, let us together, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn and you, set a plan to raise them.

Why? Lack of vitamin 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. Not one of these issues is a welcome condition. Fortunately, B12 supplementation helped all these patients. (6) Trust Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn to lead you to the necessary care for any B12 deficiency revealed.
