Vitamin B12 deficiency can affect various aspects of your life, from your energy levels to your mental health. Unexplained fatigue, memory loss, and cognitive decline might be signs that your body needs more Vitamin B12. Nerve damage, numbness, and tingling in the hands and feet can also be linked to a lack of this essential nutrient. As we age, maintaining a healthy balance of vitamins and nutrients becomes even more crucial for our well-being.
A deficiency in Vitamin B12 can lead to anemia, which can cause pale or jaundiced skin. Additionally, it can result in mood swings, depression, and emotional well-being challenges due to imbalances in brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. Don't ignore the importance of dietary changes, supplementation, or B12 injections for addressing these issues, especially if you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet.
Problems with balance, coordination, and even the appearance of your tongue can be signs of a Vitamin B12 deficiency. Glossitis, a condition characterized by a swollen, inflamed, or unusually smooth tongue, can be linked to a lack of this vital nutrient. Ensuring proper Vitamin B12 intake can help maintain your overall oral health and avoid discomfort as you age.
Stay vigilant about your health and recognize the importance of Vitamin B12 in supporting your immune system and maintaining healthy red blood cells. In this video, we'll share valuable health tips and self-care strategies to help you maintain a balanced and nutritious lifestyle. Join us as we explore the essential role of Vitamin B12 in senior health and promote healthy aging for a happier, more energetic life.

Very helpful.
I am 68, and I was so exausted all the time, I reduced my hours and thought I would have to quit my job in a nursing home kitchen altogether. I started taking a B Complex and I feel FABULOUS!!!! I work more hours and rarely get tired now!!
It's nonsense to say the word after 50
I am 70 but stronger than 25 years old man.
My vitamin B12 level 800, recently I checked . The maximum is 900
Can u buy them in shops natures way there sk good for you
It's magic 💥 Did you get your level/value checked?
@@guya5352 Check your cholesterol, my level is 396 I'm 57
Which brand helped ?
B12 deficiency js pernicious aniemia , you can have normal levels of b12 , but your body can not absorb . One test needed is Intrinsic factor "IF " for short . I have pernious anemia doctors are ignorant on how to treat .
I am 74. My left hand grip feel stiff. I thought it was due to griping of the barbell during exercising.
Weeks later feel extremely tired.
Liken to being drugged although I do have enough sleeps.
Blood test shows my B12 was low.
Prescription of B12 and taking beef, cockerels and eggs (food with B12) helps me a lot.
I am back to my normal self. 👍
Cockerels ? As in male chickens ?
When I had my blood tested my b-12 was below 100. My Doctor told me that I could die. I had to give myself a b-12 shot weekly for years, now it's once a month. I never thought I could give myself a shot, but a shot or die was the two choices. Last time my B12 was over 2000. Thank God it can never be too high. Take this seriously.
I'm 65,. Now if I can just get a doctor to take me seriously. I'm 99% sure that I"m B12 deficient, and think I"ve had it for may years.
Me too ,they think it's a trend. That's what one told me. When I also have Hashimoto ,and it can help. Just refuse to give me the injection 💉. I used to take the chews. I was so energetic. I have to start taking them agian. I have no energy 😪
I'm getting the extra strength gummies B12 better than pills Google says
I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency many years ago, and was told that due to intrinsic factor I could not absorb meds orally, so had 3 monthly injections for many years and 3 years ago, no problem all normal.
I have a lot of the symptoms but docs don’t seem to care too much when you are elderly with other health problems
Can't make money off you when your taking care of yourself and not turning to them for their healthy help. I fired both my doctors at age 45 and got a ND doc. Much better health now I'm 60. 😎👍💪
Doctors don't care about anything except passing you on to the next doctor,so they can all get a pice of the money pie
Dear; @bluebell207. Who are these doctors that are ignoring and neglecting you. What are these bastards names! Where do they live!!! THATS IT, IVE HAD IT,IM MARCHING RIGHT OVER THERE !! WHY I AUGHTTA!!!!🤬👊💥LISTEN HERE, YER GONNA RESPECT PROPER!!🤜💥🙊🤛💥👊💥💥💪🙈🦵💥💨💭💥💫💫THATS RIGHT!😠 I'll show them jerkees BUT GOOD!!
You let me know if they give you any more sh#t. Maybe they'll appreciate the line of work they're lucky enough to be in if they've gotta do their work with TWO BROKEN LEGS!!!!🫡
@bluebell207. I had a GREAT Dr that let me give myself B12 shots. I felt great. She stinkin retired n no other Dr would prescribe. So for 5 years I've just wanted to lay down n die. Depression, NO energy, memory suxs, etc.
I went to dollar general (vitamins are cheaper) and bought b12 sublingual. Taste good. I doubled up on it EVERY SINGLE DAY! Not suppose to but crap I'm 66, what'd I got to lose. I feel SO MUCH BETTER!!!! I started taking vitamin D, E, & C chewable. But do your B12 n wait 2 hours before you take the rest. DO IT.....RIGHT NOW!😊 I'm gonna sell my house, get an RV n see the USA. SICK OF DEPRESSION. Sending you love from Hot TEXAS! ❤❤
I am not yet 50 but I experience all these symptoms 😳
Depression and low energy is very connected to lack of B complex in refined foods on supermarkets
Deficiency is often due to non-absorption so often requires injections.
Very true 👍
@@sarahstrong7174
Methylcobalamin form of b12 as drops under the tongue or as a lozenge is excellent for getting immediately absorbed into the blood stream for people who don't absorb it through the gut well... Immediate results!
Vit B12 methylcobalamin under the tongue kind/shot and folate may help. 5000mcg of biotin may help and coenyzmated B vitamins. The B vitamins may help the heart run smoothly.
Very informative! Thankyou so much.....
Wow. Thank you for sharing. Been wondering why I am feeling so tired since I turned 50. And not to forget my weakness and lack of concentration. 🤦♀️
Thank you for the superb information .
Good morning sir
That's true.. good info thanks
Thank you for the info.
How accurate is the B12 tests? What if it shows your high but are really low because your body absorbs it differently.
Yes sometimes tests come back slightly low or even quite high but this is just what's in the blood, u can still be severely deficient on a cellular level... The liver releases b12 into the blood when it's really low to allow the body to function on a low level... There is a more detailed test for cellular level b12, I think it's called IF test (intrinsic factor)
Thank you for the video
Thankyou for sharing.
I'm in my 40s and could not keep awake I was sleeping twice in the day and I could barely walk I have B12 injections now for the rest of my life,I can walk better now and I no longer fall asleep in the day
Very true, l had some of the symptoms and l started feeling better from the very first tablet l took.
may I know what tablet have you taken?
I had the very same results from B1 reliving neuropathy and numb toes for over 20 years
Thanks for the video ❤❤
Thank you.
❤❤❤
Thanks for this information. Very helpful
This may be the very best video of vitamin B 12 & it's difficiency out there on CZcams !! Very thorough & packed w lots of very important/ practical info !! Especially how nerve systems & muscles need B12 !! 👍👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✨️💞
Glad you enjoyed it!
Low B 12 can be caused by tapeworm infestation. Do a parasite cleanse especially after holidays on other countries.
And eating sushi
Don't eat sushi
Thank you so much!
Thanks doctor for those informations
Thanks 👍
Yes. It is true. Thank you.
Do elderly only have to take B12 only if deficient or should B12 be combined with Vit B complex ?
I would take both... The b12 in a b complex tablet won't be enough if you are deficient... Maybe alternate one day b12 then one day b complex...
The best b12 supplement I found was methylcobalamin 5000mg in drops under the tongue which you keep there for 2 mins before swallowing... You can also get it in lozenge form...
It's absorbed better into the blood this way without having to go through your digestive system..
Methylcobalamin form of b12 is more superior and much better absorbed than the most common cobalamin form of b12 .
Why only B-12 is needed because: 1) human body does not produce it, 2) aging hampers its absorption thru the gut. Hence, oral supplements and B-12 rich foods will not be useful.
This is not so with B-complex and other Vitamins. We can get them through food or if needed, can take oral supplements.
Having the lower part of your small intestine removed bcos of illness, cancer etc can stop you from absorbing b12 as the ileum is where b12 is produced and absorbed.. Mine became so chronic after 8 years I was nearly disabled with the exhaustion I thought I had Ms... Had every single symptom going... Started b12 sublingual drops under the tongue and it turned my life around.. I took methylcobalamin @ 5000 mcg
Metformin also blocks b12
Thank you for posting this.
I refuse to start metformin. I'm pre-diabetic. I'm using diet to heal it. Memory is dealing at 59. Thought it was from getting off Paxil or early dementia. I used to take all vitamins ,minerals and several herbs. 30 years ago. 3 fists full 3 times a day. Time to go back to it. Balance is off when I never had trouble standing stock still on one foot. Been having trouble walking straight too. Muscles atrophied from nerve pain in back ,knee, hips . Im very pale. Have nafld but no jaundice
P.S. magnesium glysinate lysinate cured my foot pain. 200 mg a day.
@@RepentfollowJesus Before I knew about metformin blocking b12 my MD prescribed it for pre-diabetes (5.7% A1C). It triggered gastritis that lasted for 3 weeks after stopping metformin and also oscillopia, balance issues, extreme fatigue, etc. Came to learn I was was severely deficient in b12 and prone to this - maternal grandmother had bi-weekly b12 injections, possible pernicious anemia, northern European. Another clue I've since found out re: b12 is I have poliosis or a streak of grey hair in one area. I'm 53 and barely grey otherwise. 2 years ago diagnosed with enlarged liver, possibly NAFLD, and as it turns out b12 anemia can cause an enlarged liver. Anemia can also cause high glucose. MD's are unfortunately clueless about b12. Believe undiagnosed b12 deficiency caused my Mom's stroke and many falls. She never went to a doctor and thought her Mom only got b12 shots for energy not as a necessity.
Thanks 4 ur info about deficency vitamin B12
All this information really help me to understand what is going on with my body all these symptoms that people testimony about how there body feel after a certain age I am experiencing these same feelings so i have started to take vitamin B12 and yes I have started to feel more energy and not weak and less less anymore I am 67years
So glad you're feeling better!
Thank U for advice very much appreciated ❤
You are so welcome
Thank you for this video. It is relieving
Glad to hear that
Does a cbc test give accurate info? Does it indicate bioavailabilty?
Thank you
65 and just diagnosed with pernicious anemia. I have other rare autoimmune diseases so it should have been suspected but was overlooked until I started with a new functional medicine dr. Twice weekly injections of b12. Btw. Blood levels are high as not absorbing. Had symptoms and tested positive for antibodies. Plus high Mcv/mch.
Sooo great a video. Even foriegners like us can understand swiftly. The accent is superb. Some foreign accents are not understood at all. This video is EXCELLENT !!!
I have all these symptoms… I have panic attacks while driving and almost fainted.. now I have to jab up on a monthly basis…
Thanks so much for sharing this video. Very helpful 👏🙏🏾
Glad it was helpful!
I have not sleep good for at least 10 years.If I get 4 hours a night I'm good.But I very tired all the time and I have all the symptoms of Vitamin B 12 deficiency, but my doctor checked it and it's not that.🤷♀️
Anemia (iron or b12) can cause insomnia. Got to a hematologist for more specialized testing.
Thanks for sharing very good information, about vitamins B12👍
My pleasure🙌
Why don't they still do the blood study protocol for b-12 . I had a "blood study when I was 48. I have to have injections every ten days because I don't absorb b-12 from food. I had a doctor once test me for a deficiency after being on shots for years. He told me I did't need the shots. I thought he was crazy since I took shots and thought that is why my levels were good..go figure.
Some doctors will lie to you and keep you sick for money 💰 Keep doing your research and heal your body, mind, and soul. 💯 ✨️
Any Specific Recommendations of a B- Complex to Buy?
Whats the best brand of vitamin B12 to buy over the counter ??
As much as all this is helpful when are we going to address the issues behind why people become deficient in the 1st place? Of course it can be diet related however many times it's an absorption issue. Resolving the absorption issues and most with a good diet would not have this problem. Dr. Berg discusses the reasons behind absorption problems and how simple solutions as opposed to medical intervention can be very successful in resolving this issue. Highly recommend his videos.
Wonderful advice and wise, I totally agree and always try to find the possible.causes. Dr Berg is always my go-to life saver, he is generously and unselfishlysharing a world of wise, experienced info on many health issues and symptoms and cures.
Thank you🎉
Fatigue, balance issues, walking ist harder, short-term forgetting things. I don't really know if it's due to B12. I am 60. 😮😮
Great information.
Glad it was helpful! 🙂
Im 71 female but i did my B12 down it was too high was1400 so i see THE VIDEOS i drink many water and eat only veg now it is good thanks for your videos ALWAYS i take my HIMALAYA /MENTAT LIV 52 /BRAMHI SO GOD BLESS I DINK GET ANY DEFICIANCY.
I feel that the Medical profession has less interest in peoples health since Covid.
Will tell my doctor to do blood test this week 😮
Be aware that sometimes your blood test result could actually come back as near normal or even above normal and u could still be deficient... Its to do with your liver stores of b12 compensating your blood levels in times of deficiency... The cell level of b12 needs to be tested to be absolutely accurate.
I claim victory in my life against any generational curse and evil powers in Jesus name. Amen
Amen
👍👌 very good
Thanks a lot
Not just over 50.... also take a look at Dr Bergs vit 12 videos
Ok
Добрый день. Огромное спасибо за полезную информацию. После Ковида жгло ступни. Пила витамины группы В. Стало лучше, но потом снова начало жечь. Сдала анализ на В 12. Он сейчас сильно завышен.
Coenzymated B vitamins and methylcobalamin shot/under the tongue kind may help. No gluten may help the gut lining heal and absorb more B vitamins. Orthobiotic probiotic before a meal may help multiply B vitamins/make neurotransmitters/detox and more. HCl and enzymes after a meal may help. Gluten/dairy/soy/sugar/GMO may hurt. Low sunlight may trigger gluten issues. Vit D3 5000IU/sunlight may help.
Gluten does not damage gut lining unless you have celiac disease. Avoiding gluten will not heal a gut that doesn’t need healing in the first place. Gluten sensitivity does not harm the gut.
@@cathykrueger4899 Gluten is America's number one reason for health issues. Gluten hurts the gut lining even if you think it is not doing that. A hair test shows good minerals/heavy metals levels. A person maybe at 2% for absorbing nutrients without realizing it. Blood tests for gluten issues may not work. Gluten sensitive to me is the same as other gluten issues which hurt the gut lining. Doctors may not be trained in gluten issues.
I have Fibromyalgia and Psoriatic arthritis. I keep getting Chest Infections. I feel so weak. No Energy. Feel Miserable Constantly. I ve spoke to the doctor about it. So l ve to go n get Bloods Done. N Hopefully I can get the B 12 Injection or Tablets. Constantly in my bed no well. Am 53 years old. 😢😢😂😂❤❤
I AM USING DAILY B. COMPLEX SINCE I DON,T REMEMBER . I GOT GOOD MEMORY AND GOOD EYE SIGHT. I FEEL PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT . I DON,T HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECT
it gives me some energy but a short period of time. a good vitamin of course but im fatigued alot
You might need a good b complex supplement. I take one by Nature Made. It's a super B complex vitamin it gives me great energy and even helps with low mood ( depression). It really does help a Lot.
@@carries.9919 true i think i do need b complex. im gonna remember to pick those up and see how those do for me. my thyroid is down by one point and i use synthroid 50 mcg i know that can cause alot of issues also. thank you very much i really appreciate comment.👍
Check your weight.
I don't see anyone telling their B12 levels here, mine is 396 I'm 57 is that too low
Started B12 for about 2 my nths now but the tingling and numbness eases a nit but start again
Mine took 9 months to go away It was on and off for awhile Dr said it could take up to a year Nerves don’t heal real quick
@@cherylkarl3816 I'm encouraged by your comment
Thanks very much
You are welcome 🙌
I’m not in my 50s yet but I do have b12 deficiency fun fun I get a shot once a month
Not only over 50
I’m confuse my doctor told me my b12 was to high
Had 5 symptoms. Have degenerate arthritis. Nurse practitioner had B12 test done. Oops. Had a score of 702. 2 points above normal range. Vit D is normal, calcium is normal, magnesium is normal. I drink 3 cans of NOS a day & take some nutritional yeast supplements. I'm burning through the B12 alarming rate. Each can is 200% of the recommended daily allowance. Is my body actually not absorbing into the needed areas?
That’s possible
Yes it's very possible and 200mg is not enough to treat a deficiency...
Try methylcobalamin 5000mg form of b12 drops under the tongue, hold for 2 mins before swallowing..this gets into ur bloodstream immediately without having to go thru your whole digestive system which may not be absorbing it properly.
You could add some folate and a b complex with minerals too.
@@bxxmb80 I've only found 5000mcg (500mg) drops and from what I've read you need 1000mg-2000mg per day if you aren't absorbing. Is this correct based on what you know?
@@elizabethsmit9268
I had a severe deficiency and also anaemia even though my b12 blood results were showing as not too severely low... But that can happen bcos we can be deficient on a cellular level.. Not only what's in the blood at that time... Which is why many people suffer debilitating conditions that Dr's can't pinpoint.
I treated mine with a dropper 1/2ml under the tongue every day for a month or so.. To bring levels up and now take it every couple days.. I also take a liposomal vit b complex daily, magnesium and an iron tablet.
@@elizabethsmit9268
I would think that 5000mcg is quite a high dose already which is 500mg... 2000mg daily would be too high in my estimation but I will research it. 😊
Fortified foods use synthetic B12
Better…Levels of deficiency had been shown in description
Nous n'avons rien compris !!! nous parlons français il faut traduire svp !!!
I hate to say this but Dr5 really dont doctor anymore
Be sure to take the Vitamin B12 that us from natural souces not the synthetic one. Big difference. I would tell you the two name's but can not spell or pronounce them. Just goggle the two different types and there will be very good articles easy to understand
Just avoid the cyanide b12 supplement. The other 2 are ok apparently. (Dr. Sam Bailey).
Methyl cobalamin is the natural B12 while Cyanocobalamin is the synthetic B12.
You put great effort into the video yet you can't like or reply to comments what a disappointment
plz vitamin a ke deficiency de
B12 is essential for the health of the nervous system. In Ayurveda, a healthy nervous system is vital for the proper functioning of the mind-body connection. I use Planet Ayurveda Vitamin capsules. Nice formulation.
You have to understand no every immune system and each person works The same.
I have a lot of the symptoms m all my doctors tell me all my bloods are normal, what ever normal range covers, so I’ve been told I have anxiety and fibromyalgia, so they say I don’t need a B12 test, so I feel as always I get fobbed off ,
I've been diagnosed with fibro too, they said my bloods were normal but when I phoned to find out my b12 levels they said they hadn't been done since 2017 and I was low then, I've had to push for a b12 blood test. There's a brilliant website call b12 deficiency info which has lots of resourses and advice, fibro can mimick b12 deficiency. I hope you get sorted
@@zephyr2010ac hi thank you for that, I will check it out, sorry to hear about the fybro diagnosis, take care of yourself,stay safe 💕🙏
Omg this was me
If you have cold hands and feet it's a b12 and b1 deficiency .
My mom is a vegan, I am concerned for her.
CLAMS ARE THE RICHEST SOURSE KNOWN OF B12 , really over the top
Why do you keep calling doctors 'health care providers'? Totally unnecessary.
👍💖💖👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Eat meat!
Tinnitus is another symptom. Be well.❤ 2000mcg. daily.
Good.video.but.before.rushing.to.the.pharmacy.check.the.difference.between.the.cheapest.syntethic.B12.CYANOCOBALAMIN.

Methylcobalamin. Natural b12 drops
When I had my blood tested my b-12 was below 100. My Doctor told me that I could die. I had to give myself a b-12 shot weekly for years, now it's once a month. I never thought I could give myself a shot, but a shot or die was the two choices. Last time my B12 was over 2000. Thank God it can never be too high. Take this seriously.
I know exactly how u feel. I too had to learn how to take a B-12 shot twice a month. My B-12 was so low I ended up with crippled up painful tightening hand and couldn't lift my legs to walk. The emergency room told me I should of been in a coma my b-12 was so low, like 7, they never seen someone still up right and talking. I have Crohns disease and surgery has taken most of my intestines so I can't absorb vitamins very well and I suffer horribly and now that I'm 51 it's harder than ever to maintain all my vitamins so I feel for u when u say take the shot or die. God Bless U and take care, good luck my friend.😊
very lucky mine was vitamin D they made it go to hypercalcemia, and kidney failure each one is vital to our health and well being vitamins are when you can not get them or given too much of them. found out im low called hypoparathyroidism very rare condition. that had pain and tingling in my face thought it was RA.
I suffered with dark depression for years, way dark, and had been on several antidepressants and could barely even get to the grocery store bc of fatigue, tummy aches, tachycardia, falling a lot and kept getting worse. My husband took me to a new primary care doc and she did bloodwork and I had severe B12 & iron def anemia.
She put me on B12 shots & iron tablets🤢 & after a couple of months~it was like one day the dark crippling depression clouds parted like a magic trick; I was astonished that all I needed I could have long ago could have started on a road to recovery! Sadly the peripheral neuropathy was irreversible but I don’t mind, the depression was gone & that was the worst!
I feel so blessed it turned out to be such an easy fix! It’s disturbing how many debilitating symptoms can come fm a vitamin and mineral deficiency. My brain and limbs thank me for getting adequate oxygen back to them!🤪 Who’d have thunk it!??
Can I take b12 even though I don't have not symptoms
@@CarmenGarcia-bu3so whatever your body doesn’t absorb you will tinkle out. If I were you, I’d take it. It’s better to have and not need than need and not have. Call it insurance for your nervous system!✌🏼
