Montreal 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 needed dietary components for healthy life. (1) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic understands vitamins’ importance to the health of our Montreal chiropractic patients and their deficiency’s contribution to our Montreal chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic offers many Montreal chiropractic care choices to diagnose as well as resolve health concerns you bring to your Montreal chiropractic appointment.

Health is often reliant upon proper vitamin levels as it is now recognized that a deficiency of them may affect not just bodily issues but also psychiatric disorders. A vitamin B deficiency may influence memory, dementia and cognitive function. Shortages of B1, B3, B6, B9 and B12 – all vital for neuronal function – are related to depression. Depression is complex, and vitamin B contributes to its complexity. (1) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic pays attention to our patients carefully for any depression symptoms.

Another subset of patient to check B levels in are Montreal 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 influence the vitamin B12 level, also. (2) Your Montreal 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 folate (B9) deficiency affects dendritic cell function which influences T helper cell differentiation. (T helper cells trigger the immune responses in the body.) (3) Metabolism of the B vitamins is important, delivering compounds for DNA synthesis and repair processes. Researchers are enthusiastic about the potential vitamins like B offer to hinder the onset of serious illnesses. (4)

Vitamin B12 itself is also quite important. Vitamin B12 is crucial to cell function. It’s a vital micronutrient as humans cannot produce it. Statistics say that those of us in Montreal who are over 65 years of age must be aware of B12 deficiency; 15% of us are lacking! 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. When vitamin B12 is eaten, it goes through a complicated absorption and assimilation process. (5) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic encourages our Montreal chiropractic patients to check their B12 levels. If they’re low, let us together, Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic and you, set a plan to raise them.

Why? A low level of B12 brings on a range 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 aided all these patients. (6) Trust Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic to lead you to the necessary care for any B12 deficiency found.
