Toronto Chiropractic Discussion of Vitamin B for Brain

February 14, 2017

Vitamin B is good for 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 needed dietary components for healthy life. (1) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre gets the importance of vitamins to the health of our Toronto chiropractic patients and their influence on our Toronto chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. At Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, a full host of Toronto chiropractic care options are available to determine the source of your current concern and help resolve it.

Vitamins are important for health 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 impact memory, dementia and cognitive function. Deficiencies of B1, B3, B6, B9 and B12 – all vital for neuronal function – are associated with depression. The multifaceted nature of depression is interconnected with vitamin B. (1) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre carefully listens to our patients for any sign of depression.

Another subset of patient to check B levels in are Toronto 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, also. (2) Your Toronto chiropractor understands diabetes well.

Vitamins play a preventive role of cancer, particularly in the initial stages of the cancer development. Folate (B9), vitamins B2, B6, and B12 are rather important. Specifically, a folate (B9) deficiency messes with dendritic cell function which impacts T helper cell differentiation. (T helper cells activate the immune responses in the body.) (3) Metabolism of the B vitamins is important, delivering compounds for DNA synthesis and repair processes. Researchers are excited about the potential vitamins like B present for the prevention of serious illnesses. (4)

Vitamin B12 itself is also quite important. Vitamin B12 is crucial to cell function. It’s a vital micronutrient as we can’t produce it. 15% of us Toronto folks who are older than 65 don’t have enough vitamin B12. B12 deficiency results in blood and neurological issues. We may have a higher risk of 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. Eaten vitamin B12 experiences an intricate process of absorption and assimilation. (5) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre encourages our Toronto chiropractic patients to check their B12 levels. If they’re low, let’s together, Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre and you, set a plan to improve them.

Why? A vitamin B12 deficiency causes a variety of neurological issues. These issues may be acute, subacute or chronic. Such neurological complications due to 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. The good news is that the researchers who found these issues were able to help the patients with vitamin B12 supplementation. (6) Trust Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre to direct you to the necessary care for any B12 deficiency uncovered.
