[Video] The Vitamin B12 Myth: You Don't Get It From Meat – Anthony William Podcast Episode

A vitamin B12 deficiency is the last thing you need if you’re suffering from symptoms and conditions like anxiety, depression, body aches, numbness or tingling, fatigue, blurry vision, migraines, restless legs syndrome, ringing in the ears, vertigo, dizziness , jaw, neck or back pain, fibromyalgia , lupus, eczema and psoriasis – and many more. Even if you don’t have any obvious symptoms, it’s still wise to make sure you’re getting what your body needs – especially these days, when we face so many challenges and stressors. Being proactive about your vitamin B12 needs is an excellent investment in your overall health. That’s why it’s important to know what to avoid and what to watch for to know if you’re really getting your B12 and what high or low levels actually mean.

Are you getting enough vitamin B12 from your diet?

And even if you get B12 from food, it may not be active and absorbable. Your body may not be able to use it effectively and it may be excreted in your urine. We are often told that we get vitamin B12 from meat, chicken, lamb, turkey, milk, eggs, cheese, pork, butter, salmon, crab, shrimp, clams and oysters. Yes, these foods contain B12 – but the truth is that we can’t absorb it effectively for a number of reasons (watch the podcast episode for more on this). The most important of these: our bodies make their own B12 – and this is the form that keeps our bodies running. This is done thanks to special microorganisms that Anthony William calls surface biotics . They live deep in the intestinal tract and are responsible for synthesizing B12. The problem is that almost no one in modern society has enough of these microorganisms and therefore doesn’t produce their own B12, and instead relies on animal sources. All animals produce their own species-specific B12, but our bodies cannot effectively use the animal form. Plant foods also do not contain B12, so both vegans and meat eaters end up not getting B12 from their food.

Vitamin B12 deficiency

Probiotics are essential for the production of B12 in the body. Unlike factory-produced products such as probiotics, kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut or soil microorganisms, probiotics can survive the digestive process and reach the ileum, where they secrete coenzyme B12 in its purest form and transport it through the hepatic portal vein to the liver. You can learn more about these microorganisms by watching a podcast episode. One of the main causes of B12 deficiency is precisely the lack of probiotics in the diet.

Another reason is a sluggish, sluggish, and overworked liver . Many people are born with a weak liver, while others damage it over time. In any case, if you are suffering from any symptoms, it is a good idea to pay attention to the health of your liver. No one has a perfect liver – this is one of the reasons why B12 deficiency is so common. For more information, see Anthony William’s video “The Truth About Vitamin B12 Deficiency” .

Testing for vitamin B12 levels

You may think you're not at risk for B12 deficiency because your blood tests show normal or even high levels. But those levels don't necessarily mean your body is using that B12 effectively and getting it to where it needs to be. Your central nervous system, liver, and other organs can still be seriously deficient. Learn more about testing by watching the podcast episode.

Protecting your body

Nowadays, we need support to cope with all the challenges. B12 is vital for coping with emotional difficulties such as betrayal, lost trust, mental stress and emotional abuse; with the influence of the environment - pesticides, herbicides, air fresheners, scented candles; and with health problems caused by heavy metals and pathogens ( you will learn more about these factors by reading the articles on “Pests that make us sick” ). All this leads to an overloaded liver, a depleted nervous system, weakened neurotransmitters and adrenal glands, as well as depletion of B12 stores.

The best way to protect your body is to provide it with the B12 it needs. Eating more fresh foods containing surface biotics is an excellent choice – green leafy vegetables, sprouts, herbs, fruits, wild plants and fresh vegetables.

It is also extremely important to choose the right type of B12 supplement – ​​a combination of methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin is the most effective . Methylcobalamin is beneficial for the eyes, hearing, heart, nervous system and adrenal glands. Adenosylcobalamin supports the central nervous system, spleen, pancreas, liver and endocrine system. Anthony William recommends Vimergy® Organic Liquid Vitamin B12 .
