What Does B 12 Do For You?

[Amyleigh0007]

Many of you take B 12. What does it do for you?

I take Nature Made (my dr did some tests and I was low)

This is the description they give on their website:

Vitamin B-12 promotes maintenance and growth of tissue and helps maintain nerve cells

It is also necessary for the proper functioning of our nervous system.

If you look at their website and look up B-12 they give a really good description.

It gives a lot of people ENERGY as well.

I test low and have been very low in the past. If I don't have it, I get "electrical" type pain that runs down my arm. It is very specific and feels like current running. It has improved so much on the gluten-free diet that I have gone from shots back to sublingual.

Sublingual B12 perked me up a bit. And then unexpectedly took away a bit of my edgy-ness. I don't feel as panicky. I told my husband either his driving was getting better, or that B12 has really helped. He assured me his driving had not improved.

From what I've read, B12 is important for so many things, I can't just name one! It helps with energy, mood, sleep patterns, cognitive function, nerve health, motor function, and blood health, just to name a few. It's basically used throughout the body for a multitude of things, and it seems Celiacs are often deficient in it.

Signs of B12 deficiency can include (but are not limited to) thin/brittle nails, spots/ridges on nails, fatigue, irritability, sleeplessness, brain fog, and muscle/joint/nerve pain. Skin, hair and eyesight can also be effected.
