  • In this video, we explore the crucial role of Vitamin B12 in maintaining nerve health and producing red blood cells. B12 is a nutrient missing in plant-based diets. While traditional Indian vegetarian diets are rich in most micronutrients, they typically lack Vitamin B12, leading to widespread deficiencies. Historically, these deficiencies have been overlooked and we have simply managed to live with it thanks to dairy/milk products providing a small amount. But, with modern understanding, there's a clear opportunity to enhance our wellbeing through supplementation or fortified foods. Dive into the science behind B12, its significance, and practical ways to ensure adequate intake, especially for those on vegetarian or vegan diets

But when installed RO water purifier problems started. I am assuming the natural well has I wide biodiversity which creates vit B12 rich water..assuming..

    Video misses on an important fact that B12 absorption is based on Intrinsic Factor. B12 deficiency is quite common even among meat eaters who consume it quite often. The best option is to take sublingual supplements or b12 injections that avoid the gut route altogether.

      Great video.
      Yes, you are spot on.
      Intrinsic factor needs a particular pH level to be available.
      People with low stomach acidity (microbial issues) and those that use metformin do not absorb B12. Metformin reduces stomach acidity.
      Humans being obligate carnivores, have a stomach pH of 1.5-2, evolutionarily. This is due to our scavenger past and maybe for better B12 absorption.

    by the way I was non vegetarian till 29 years of my life and always had vitamin b12 and iron deficiency. Afterwards, I moved to vegetarian diet, tada no more headaches and weakness and my blood values were good. I only needed it more during and after my pregnancies which I supplemented. so, it cant be true,. Eat fermented food: idly, kimchi, achar for Vitamin b12. As in case you wont get b12 directly, it will improve your gut bacteria which assist in b12 consumption. As b12 absorption is a big problem than b12 consumption.

    I have had nerve probs upon suddenly leaving non veg foods, vit b12 deficiency kicked in after 2-3 yrs, not causing anemia but directly impacting nerves. I did lots and lots research and then understood how to cure myself. I did vit b12 shots even by myself sometimes, then later resorted with sub lingual tabs weekly once, which is enough now. I have literally tons of research on vit b12 for past 10 yrs. All of what krishashok is saying is 100% true. I would still supplement not because I am still vegetarian (avoid eggs too) , because food is not enough to top up this vitamin or it's not well observed. Also, you see anyways all foods are supplemented with vit b12 by factories and agencies even the poultry. So it is better to take directly from tabs/supplement. Hats off to you Krish. Perfect video.. Addresses all vit b12 prob.. It is game changer only if people understand and take action.
    One last statement - if you have enough vit b12 and vit D, you will be happy mostly , can avoid most type of depressions. You have perfected the art of conveying the concept with lovely story telling

      @@krishashok OK. Here is the crucial thing. B12 supplements are available in two forms, methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin. The latter is much cheaper, but it leaves a cyano residue. Perhaps, from your point of view, it might be too tiny - 'abeyaar, lelo cyanoamin', but the methyl form is still safer. Those who can afford should buy the costlier variety.
      That said, I am not happy with the suggestion that meat diet is necessary. Granted, there might have been a radical change in our environment with (today's excessive) sanitisation, and that might make external supplements necessary. Still, there has been considerable research in gut health; there has definitely been a move to, shall we say 'desanitise' (check the share price of the company that makes Detol, you will appreciate this point.); and there is an appreciation of symbiotic relationship between bacteria and human beings.
      Moreover, there are reasons to believe that meat diet could influence other areas of life although these enquiries are in their early stage. Please take care not to sound too critical of Vegetarian diet. I know it is fashionable to eulogise meat diet these days, but for the sake of knowledge, avoid getting on that bandwagon.

    I recently got over a severe deficiency and would suggest folks to take it very seriously. It's also notoriously difficult to get proper diagnosis. The usual serum B12 tests are necessary but not sufficient (you can be deficient even when serum b12 is high). Better to get tested for MMA or Homocysteine as they tend to be higher if there's a deficiency. Also when you're taking b12 supplements, you'll need to take enough B9 (folate) and b complex in general as they tend to work on unison (cofactors). There are multiple forms of b12 in supplements and it's usually in the form of cyanocobalamin which is not the bio available form. It's better to take methylcobalamin.

      Luckily, all B-vitamins are abundant in mushrooms, whole grains, vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, seeds, nutritional yeast, even tea! So, if one is avoiding nutrient-poor processed junk, one will get plenty of B vitamins.
      Also, I have been taking cyanocobalamin for decades and my B12 level is above the normal range.
      Best wishes to you!

The machine is quite expensive one and many end up paying the amount waiting to get benefits . Being your reader and follower of your channel, I am quite skeptical of such claims.

    Nice video. I do wonder though if there is some genetic component which makes some people less/more prone to vit b12 deficiency. Since I've noticed some vegetarians who don't consume dairy that much having proper b12 levels while a few meat eaters being deficient in it.

    • @HumbleBee123
      @HumbleBee123 21 день тому +1

      Yes I've eaten vegetarian for about 17 years and vegan diet for 3 or more.
      Yet I know more people that are omnivores who are b12 or iron deficient.
      I've done loads of research. And many mental health, gut, hypermobility etc are connected to b vitamin deficiencies.
      This can be due to DNA mutations including MTHFR being a more common one.
      It causes issues relating things like folate and b12. So buying supplements if synthetic and not the active methylated form actually can harm people.
      This something I'm looking into due to genetic conditions in the family. And those is looking like a possible link and an easy fix if we can get dr to refer us for DNA testing to confirm.
      I've bought myself and my brother methylfolate and methylcobalamin. Well I bought my brother the b complex but active nutrients. Not synthetic b12 or folate which is back. Especially if you cant methylated it in your body. You end up accumulating the inactive form and you body is unable to deal with homocystein properly.
      Wont be the case for everyone. But those with MTHFR mutation are at risk.
