Aging Affects Delivery of Vitamni B-12

According to LabTestOnline.com, a web site that has been designed to help you, as a patient or family caregiver, to better understand the many clinical lab tests that are part of routine care as well as diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of conditions and diseases, vitamin B-12 is a very important vitamin (read the article below).

"B12 and folate are B complex vitamins that are necessary for normal red blood cell formation, tissue and cellular repair, and DNA synthesis. A B12 and/or folate deficiency reflects a chronic shortage of one or both of these vitamins. Since the body stores 3 to 5 years worth of B12 and several months' supply of folate in the liver, deficiencies and their associated symptoms can take months to years to manifest in adults. Infants and children will show signs of deficiency more rapidly, however, as they have not yet established extensive reserves."

"Over time, a deficiency in either B12 or folate can lead to macrocytic anemia, a condition characterized by the production of fewer, but larger red blood cells and a decreased ability to carry oxygen. Due to the anemia, patients may be weak, light-headed, and short of breath. A deficiency in B12 can also result in varying degrees of neuropathy, nerve damage that can cause tingling and numbness in the patient's hands and feet and mental changes that range from confusion and irritability to severe dementia."

"Pregnant women need increased amounts of folate for proper fetal development. If a woman has a folate deficiency prior to pregnancy, it will be intensified during gestation and may lead to premature birth and neural tube birth defects, such as spina bifida, in the child."

The aging process slows down the delivery of vitamin b12 to the blood stream. Because of the slow delivery process, and the importance of the b12 vitamin, Dr. Libby came up with a patented sublingual delivery method that can deliver almost all of the vitamin's power directly into the bloodstream.

In the late 1970s, Dr. Alfred Libby, renowned authority on therapeutic nutrition and longtime associate of Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling, began to explore an alternative delivery system for Vitamin B-12. The goal was to bypass the stomach where this essential nutrient is delivered into the bloodstream, but not easily absorbed.

In early spring of 1980, Dr. Libby approached his colleagues with his new theory that B-12 could be delivered to the bloodstream sublingually (under the tongue). Biochemists and his medical colleagues were quick to dismiss the idea. However, he was persistent and they eventually decided to give his theory a try, although they were convinced it would fail.

Six weeks later the first study was underway. Shortly after, Dr. Libby's Sublingual B-12 invention was deemed a complete success-blood levels of B-12 increased dramatically.

Many people have found success with Dr. Libby's patented sublingual vitamin b12. It is the number one selling product which is sold and distributed by TriVita. As mentioned before, the b12 vitamin is very important, and needs to be taken on a daily basis. We cannot get enough of the vitamin through a proper diet, especially if your are starting to get up there in age.

Taking a b12 supplement on a daily basis is a must. To learn more about the sublingual vitamin b12, its patented delivery system, Dr. Libby, and/or TriVita, visit the vitamin b12 web site.

Vitamin C - How Important is It?

Vitamin C - How Important is It?

According to many web sites and what I've learned through the years, Vitamin C should be an important part of our daily diet. If not taken naturally, through fruits and vegetables, a supplement should be taken. Not every one of us eats the proper foods which are needed to receive the proper amounts of vitamins and nutrients. In my opinion, we should be taken supplements to replenish/sustain the vitamins and nutrients our bodies need.

I'm a huge proponent of supplements. Ever since my days as an active sports enthusiast, I've been taking supplements, including additional Vitamin C. Most supplements do not contain enough Vitamin C that's why there are supplements, like the one offered by TriVita.

What is Vitamin C?

According to Wikipedia, Vitamin C, or L-ascorbate, is an essential nutrient for a large number of higher primate species, a small number of other mammalian species (notably guinea pigs and bats), a few species of birds, and some fish.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. Unlike most mammals, humans do not have the ability to make their own vitamin C. Therefore, we must obtain vitamin C through our diet.

Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen, an important structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, and bone. Vitamin C also plays an important role in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine. Neurotransmitters are critical to brain function and are known to affect mood. In addition, vitamin C is required for the synthesis of carnitine, a small molecule that is essential for the transport of fat to cellular organelles called mitochondria, for conversion to energy (1).

Vitamin C is also a highly effective antioxidant. Even in small amounts vitamin C can protect indispensable molecules in the body, such as proteins, lipids (fats), carbohydrates, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen species that can be generated during normal metabolism as well as through exposure to toxins and pollutants (e.g. smoking). Vitamin C may also be able to regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin E (1).

Causes of Vitamin C deficiency:

Severe vitamin C deficiency has been known for many centuries as the potentially fatal disease, scurvy. By the late 1700's the British navy was aware that scurvy could be cured by eating oranges or lemons, even though vitamin C would not be isolated until the early 1930's. Symptoms of scurvy include bleeding and bruising easily, hair and tooth loss, joint pain and swelling. Such symptoms appear to be related to the weakening of blood vessels, connective tissue, and bone, which contain collagen.

The amount of vitamin C required to prevent chronic disease appears to be more than that required for prevention of scurvy. Much of the information regarding vitamin C and the prevention of chronic disease is based on prospective studies, in which vitamin C intake is assessed in large numbers of people who are followed over time to determine whether they develop specific chronic diseases.

Why TriVita Vitamin C?

According to Brazos Minshew, TriVita's Chief Science Officer, "every nutrient you ingest including vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and sugars has a specific transport mechanism that takes it from your digestive tract into your body. Once it enters your system, each nutrient has a transport mechanism that takes it to the cells where it is needed."

TriVita's Vitamin C transport system:

"Vitamin C has its own transport mechanisms as well. But, the need for Vitamin C is so great that our bodies let us use other transport mechanisms in addition to the one marked 'Vitamin C only.' The two that are most important are sodium (salt) and glucose (sugar). We can actually transport Vitamin C in channels for salt and sugar! This is possible because Vitamin C is a great impersonator."

"Vitamin C looks enough like sodium to be taken from the intestines into the body just like the sodium from your food. Because we need a lot of sodium, the transport channels for sodium are very large and Vitamin C can 'ride along' with sodium through this open channel into your bloodstream. That's one reason we attach our Vitamin C to sodium as Sodium-L-Ascorbate: to maximize absorption with minimum effort."

"The most abundant fuel in our bodies is a sugar called glucose. Glucose is so familiar to each cell that receptor sites on the cell wall – guardians of who gets in and who stays out – readily accept large amounts of glucose to fuel the cell and give it energy. These receptors are very large because large amounts of glucose are needed inside the cell. Glucose is a six-sided crystal and so is our Vitamin C. To take advantage of the glucose transport site, we use Vitamin C with the crystal structure intact. This combination allows the most Vitamin C to get into the cell with the least amount of effort required. So, Vitamin C from your diet is taken in through Vitamin C transport sites and through glucose transport sites as well."

Not all Vitamin C supplements use the same means to transport this important vitamin throughout your. As a matter of fact, this means was formulated to be gentle on your stomach. TriVita's Non-Acidic Vitamin C Crystals absorb quickly in your system to give you a great boost to start your day.

Because Vitamin C is water soluble, it must be taken every day. It's an important antioxidant that helps protect cells against damage caused by free radicals (unstable atoms or molecules). It also supports the body's immune system and plays a role in healthy gums, skin, vision and connective tissue.
