so today we’re going to talk about why

b12 is not being absorbed in your body

unless you’re a vegan you’re getting

enough from the diet okay but the

problem is usually the absorption not

from the diet here are a few symptoms

that a person can experience if their

b12 deficient depression paranoia

delusional dementia memory loss pins and

needles or numbness in your hands and

your feet or any part of the body anemia

swollen tongue red tongue fatigue

weakness and tremors and there’s a lot

of other ones as well so b12 is one of

the only B vitamins that could be stored

in the body so it can be stored for

several years so let’s talk about the

barrier of absorption b12 is attached to

a mineral okay cobalt in its protein

bound so to break this up you need a

very strong protein enzyme called pepsin

which happens to be triggered by acid in

your stomach in order to activate pepsin

you need pH between one two three that’s

extremely acid so if you’re taking any

acids for example that could be a

definite reason why you’re deficient in

b12 here are some other reasons you

could have a condition called atrophic

gastritis and that’s a situation where

the stomach is inflamed and the stomach

lining is breaking down maybe from years

of consuming bad foods or junk foods or

whatever because as soon as you destroy

the lining of the stomach you can’t make

this acid anymore

gastric bypass okay that’s another way

that it can disrupt the stomach lining

affecting the not just the acid but the

release of enzymes as well celiac okay

now that’s a problem in the small

intestine what happens is that b12 is

normally broken down in the stomach and

then absorbed in the small intestine but

if the lining of the small intestine is

damaged whether you have celiac or

Crohn’s or IBS that could be the reason

why it’s not going in okay and this is

another common reason right here you

just don’t have enough stomach acid so

many people have this problem what

the top symptom that the experienced

acid reflux

why because the valve at the top of the

stomach doesn’t close unless this pH is

very very acidic okay so there’s a

sensor in this valve and then the acid

starts splashing back up and you get

GERD or acid reflux and you think oh wow

I need an anti acid okay

well that just takes the stomach acid

out and the problem gets worse and worse

and worse so it’s a real easy solution

what you do is you take this version of

b12 methyl cobalamin okay in thousands

of micrograms so I would suggest maybe

2,000 or maybe 3,000 micrograms of b12

this version right here and you will see

a great improvement in these symptoms

right here and then don’t forget to

acidify the stomach with either betaine

how to chloride or apple cider vinegar

or a combination to both and you can get

them in pills as well now there’s one

last thing let’s say for example you

have these symptoms or some of them and

you take the b12 and you still don’t see

change there’s one more thing it’s

called the intrinsic factor that’s made

by your stomach this is a factor that

helps the absorption of b12 okay and if

you have damage in your stomach it’s

very very difficult to absorb b12

because you just don’t have the

intrinsic factor there is a product that

I know about I don’t sell it okay you

can do a search on it

it’s called site Pam it has the

intrinsic factor in this product if the

natural product it’s from standard

process I used to use it when I was in

practice but if you do a search on

Saipan okay and you start taking this it

also has obtained how to Cora to help

acidify the stomach that can help the

absorption of b12 as well all right guys
