B12

[Guest guest]

Thanks for

the replies… I’m still a little ‘confused’ about the

B12 situation… I’ve read the links and articles…

So, say

for example that I was having both B12 active and B12 analogues, would the analogues

create a problem for me?

In other

words, should we cut B12 analogues out of our diet completely, or are they

harmless?

If you

have both in your body, with the active B12 win out against the analogue when

fitting into any receptors?

One article

talked of brewers yeast being good, would that include ‘Vegemite’?

or do I have to buy another brand or type of brewers yeast?

I eat

some eggs, but they are cooked, either scrambled or in pancakes, is this going

to be enough B12 for my diet?

This thing

is, I was getting quite tired, and then I started taking Floradix Iron Supplement

with B12. I don’t know if it’s an analogue or active form of B12.

I’m also vegetarian, so I want to know what will be best to do from now

on, given my situation.

just curious Alice...... my reading of labels has always taught me that the percentage = highest -v- lowest is shown by the place it takes in the list.... so after cheching up on the supplement you have been taking containing added B12....... the B12 is almost the last ingredient in the mixture....... not a great deal of B12 being consumed with this product me thinks.

 

 

Ingredients:Aqueous extract (54%) from:Carrots, Nettles, Spinach, Quitch Roots, Angelica Roots, Fennel, Ocean Kelp, African Mallow Blossom, Orange Peel. Mixture of fruit juice concentrates (29.4%)Pear, grape juice concentrate, blackcurrant juice, water, blackberry, cherry, orange, red beet, lemon juice concentrate, carob extract, apple juice concentrate. Honey, Aqueous rosehip soft extract containing 4% vitamin C, Iron (as ferrous gluconate), Wheat Germ Extract, Yeast Extract, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Natural flavours, Thiamin (as Thiamine HCI), Riboflavin (as Riboflavin Sodium Phosphate), Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine HCI), Vitamin B12, Maltodextrin

also it should be possible to ask the manufacturer which type of b12 is in their product.

 

 

Good Luck.....

'import' my B12 from LEF... it is the sublingual 'methyl' type

But if you take the spirulina or chlorella every day, that would block

the receptor sites all the time, not just once in a while, so " true "

B12 would never be able to get through.

For me personally, I wouldn't take any isolated substance like

Cyanocobalamine, or any other fake vitamin/mineral for that matter. I

think it throws you body out of balance to not have all the

vitamins/minerals every single day. There's an " interdependency

factor " with nutrients - in order for your body to use vitamins,

minerals and enzymes (micro-nutrients) it needs the macro-nutrients

(fatty acids, protein, carbohydrates) attached to them so that the

body can make use of the vitamins.

 

Food is still the #1 option for getting the nutrients you need for

healthy living. Individual nutrient supplements should be chosen only

in special cases. And if you are a vegetarian, you can get your B12

from food - I am a vegetarian and have been getting my B12 from an

organic wild blue green algae for about 12 years now - it's the most

nutrient-dense food on the planet - it has every mineral, vitamin,

amino acids, essential fatty acids, protein, enzymes...everything. It

provides the raw materials your body needs on a daily basis to create

and maintain balance. It is considered a " bio-modulator " , which means

that it nourishes every cell, every system, and every organ in the body.

 

It has been proven that your body needs a little of every nutrient

working synergistically together, not mega-doses of a certain vitamin

or mineral which would then put your body out of balance for the other

nutrients.

 

Just look at all the nutrients " naturally occurring " in this form of

bga - http://tinyurl.com/g1iz . Do not fall into the dangerous trap

of thinking that if a little is good, more is better.
