I had bloodwork done and my vitamin D level and B12 levels were VERY low. I was having the WORSE brain fog, dizziness, anxiety, and numness in brain so went out and just bought a B12 vitamin that's methylocabinal. Doctor, minutes after taking that 1 1000 MCG of B12 vitamin helped me feel SOO much better I can't even describe it. The anxiety was gone, the brain fog decreased, and i felt more alert. I am so thankful!
Glad it helped - B12 can work very fast.
Just a small thing I feel helped me is making sure your B-12 source is Methylcobalamin and not the others. It made me feel better in less then an hour. I was getting bright spots and felt light headed and had a sharp pain in my head. I feel so much better now. I use the sublingual and a spray just to be sure.
Good job, Doc. I have watched several videos on this topic and yours was the best.l You covered all the bases, posted the necessary terms for outlining, and kept your delivery succinct. Hint: But if you spoke a little slower, it would aid note taking. I had to back up the video several times to jot down the main points. And thanks for the information!
Thank you. There will finally be more videos coming soon. As far as the fast talking - I'll work on it, but I'm from Jersey, we all talk fast lol
A great comprehensive and accurate video.
Thank you Doctor , you just elencate my problems,
a very giod explanation💁♀️May God Blessyou🌹
My current 1000 MCG supplement is a methylcobalamin but NOT sublingual. Is it ok if I up it to a sublingual 5000 MCG methylcobalamin supplement instead?
I can’t say definitively because I don’t know your case, but 5,000 mcg sublingual is a dose I often use with patients
Why do the Doctors not warm you of this if you take proton inhibitors! I've been on them for years and was just recently diagnosed with B12 deficiency. So I'm thinking I may have been deficient for years?!
Lori Lee because they want to keep you coming back. If they had told you, you probably wouldn't have taken the ppi's and possibly turned to a more natural approach. Then they wouldn't be able to treat your b12 deficiency down the road.
i took nexium... that´s how i got sick :(
Hello, I would like to know how vitamin B12 injections help sciatica pain
B12 is important for nerve function, so it may help that way.
I have a male friend who has symptoms of Huntingtons Disease/MS/Motor Neurone Disease...is it possible it is B12 deficiency? Basal Ganglia deterioration-motor/balance/twitching legs,etc...I am very scared that its HD! :(
joanne devlin sir how to find difference between vitamin b12 deficiency and pernicious anemia???
from 200 to 1100 I think was the test was ran on me fir b 12 I rank at 436. I think I'm low wat do u think doc?
Thank you Dr.
I keep telling my Dr. For a shot for B 12 due to all of these symptoms and I do not get results. What do I do?
Sorry for the delay in answering. Most B12 injections are of the synthetic cyanocobalamin version. Your body may have difficulty converting that to the active methylcobalamin form.
could feelings on unreality or derealization be caused from a b12 deficiency?
Sorry for the delay in replying. While many things can play a role in those symptoms, B12 can play a role in many neurological / brain- based issues. It's possible.
Yes it can. I had this and ended up psychotic rocking in a corner before I started injecting B12
Just came upon your comment b12 I'm sure has for yrs made me too outspoken swearing at times and as I'm doing it I think afterwards why did I say that my neighbour said I shoot from the hip I'm too blunt but then I've all ways been like that hope you got your prob sorted stay safe x
Metformin? I'm shocked. So many are prescribed that drug 😞
Exactly! Metformin is not as benign as it's made out to be, especially when lifestyle/diet change can almost always accomplish what Metformin does without the potential side effects.
Absolutely
DOC, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY TELL THE VIEWERS ABOUT TWO SPECIFIC TYPES OF MEDS THAT DEPLETE-MUGGING-B12. THEY ARE AS YOU KNOW STATINS & ANTIDEPRESSANTS - SPECIFICALLY VENLAXAFINE, KNOWN AS EFFEXOR IN USA. THE VIEWERS NEED TO KNOW THIS DOC-YOU HAVE A DUTY TOWARDS THEM. THANKS. REGARDS

274 pg/ml is normal? am getting tingling sensation pin prick sensation all over body 😢
...just eat organic liver one time a week and you need not spend money on the B.S. over priced made in China crap vitamin supplements !..the vitamin supplement industry is such a fukking hype ..they have a cure for everything same as big pharma !..its all money ! not your health..they want your money !!!
I stop eating red meat since 1992 about five years ago my hair started falling out in patches, I was also prescribed Prilosec for a long time. If I start taking B12 and go back to eating meat again will that help? I have many of the symptoms, except for the neurological symptoms. None of the doctor that I visited ever mentioned b deficiencies. I am using a topical treatment for the hair loss with no improvement, and I am using an expensive ointment for adult acne, not much help. I am 65 years old and I find that doctors just put everything down to age. I just started the keto diet two months ago and notice some small changes in my hair loss, tiny hair growth. This is such an ahahaha moment for me.
If you're not eating red meat and also are on proton pump inhibitors, supplementing with B12 is probably a good idea. Many things can be involved in hair loss. If you're eating a HEALTHY version of keto (which emphasizes good fats) that should lower inflammation in your body which may help with hair loss. Thyroid issues can affect hair loss. Too little protein or poor protein absorption may contribute to hair loss. With keto your protein is somewhat limited (but shouldn't be INsufficient if you're doing it right). Proton pump inhibitors may effect protein digestion. You may want to consider adding some digestive enzymes to help digest protein.
Thank you for your prompt response. I am no longer on proton pump inhibitor. I will take your suggestion.. Thanks again.
doctor I'm fat, should I take b12 supplement?
Prince Adidto While I can't say you should definitely take B12 without knowing your history, most people can benefit from the correct dose of B12. Your weight doesn't have anything to do with it.
Please - can you please look at my blood results and tell me if a b12 deficiency is the likely cause of my symptoms?
Where can I find the next parts of this video where you explain more about it?
Look in the videos on the Shore Health Institute UA-cam page. Here's the link to one: ua-cam.com/video/GTrJRYAnug4/v-deo.html
Thanks and we'll explained...I have both pernicious anemia and Graves disease, when selecting a b12supplement what should be included in the b12, vitamin that will help improve health Thanks
Most would do best on a methylcobalamin or a methylocbalamin/adenosylcobalamin mix. Sublingual liquid or drops are preferred since they will be absorbed directly into the blood stream, not through the stomach. Pernicious anemia is an autoimmune attack on intrinsic factor, which is necessary for B12 to absorbed through the digestive tract. make sure there are no fillers or other additives containing any type of gluten
Back 2009 I started to feel these symptoms its 2018 and I feel worse
Give me all the b12s out there
I'd focus on methylcobalamin and possible some adenosylcobalamin
Hello Doc..thanks for sharing..Pls help what vit b12 ..for my autism.son 18yrs old cant speak..difficulry in sleeping.. parenting a child with autism is very difficult..thanks Doc...God bles u!!! Im from the philippines..i need your help!!!
In general a methylated B12 is best - methylcobalamin.
Is there any relation between finger nail lunula and b12 deficiency?
There are reports that suggest that lack of lanula on fingers (except the thumb) is an indication of B12 deficiency
Dr. Brian Smith DC Health News
Thanks doctor😊
Hi there Dr Brian.
I was recently told that i have a b12 deficiency. After watching this video i come to think of the fact that i had ''Peptic ulcer'' (I think thats the termonology) a few years back, so i took medisins to reduce the production of acids in my stomach (somac/nexium). It has now gone 2-3 years since i've used any medication like that. will my bodys ability to absorb b12 improve?
Sorry for the delay - vacation. If your stomach acid levels return to normal (no guarantee if you're on meds for an extended period of time), or if you take betaine HCl, your ability to absorb B12 from the diet may improve.
Can b12 defiecency cause panic attacks and agoraphobia?
Cannot say for sure however, B12 deficiency can have a significant effect on the brain and nervous system. B12 deficiency has been linked to anxiety. I would assume panic attacks and agoraphobia may have similar etiology to anxiety, although I'm sure there are other factors involved as well.
Can high RDW and low MCV on my recent blood test be an indication of b12 or folic acid deficiency ? I have slightly low hemoglobin but I feel tired all the time , cold hands and feet , dizziness at times
Sorry it took so long to reply - I didn't see your question. It's difficult to properly diagnose an anemia pattern off of just the information you gave, however, in general, a B12 or folate deficiency usually exhibits low MCV and a HIGH RDW. Low MCV and LOW RDW is often suggestive of early stage iron anemia, anemia of blood loss, anemia due to chronic disease or inflammation. I would recommend that you ask your doctor to run an expanded anemia profile to get to the bottom of the problem.
Dr. smith, can I just take b12 supplements without knowing if I'm b12 deficient? I have all the symptoms but the hospitals and labs in our city don't have the lab test for b12. it's ridiculous, I know. It's stressing me more. My symptoms started when I was diagnosed with GERD and started taking PPI.
Most people can take a B12 supplement with no problem, even without testing (testing isn't always that accurate anyway). B12 is a water soluble vitamin, and the body tends to eliminate excess levels of water soluble vitamins, unlike fat soluble vitamins which are stored and can possibly become toxic if levels become too high. If you take B12, pay attention to how you feel, and if you notice any negative side effects, discontinue it.
Wow! I didn't expect an immediate response. Thanks so much, doc! I'll take your word for it. More power to you.
yes, I started taking the supplements and I am already feeling so much better! Thank God! I was feeling so horrible and in so much pain before.
Glad you're doing better
Yes! I still feel the feet tingles though. especially at night when I'm resting.
Can b12 def cause swollen and sore toungue,lump feeling in throat,burning mouth?
Definitely possible to cause swollen & sore tongue, not completely sure about lump in throat or burning mouth. B12 deficiency can contribute to neuropathy which can cause symptoms of burning, pain numbness or tingling.
Animals don't create their own B12, naturally it comes from bacteria in soil and water. Because of the sanitation level of drinking water, the bacteria that create B12 are no longer present in refined sources. Additionally both the crops fed to animals and people lack the B12 producing bacteria because chemicals added to the topsoil destroy the bacteria, and fruits and vegetables are also cleaned in a way that it kills the bacteria. It's now necessary to supplement B12 even in farm animals, so it's ridiculous to think meat is necessary for B12 when it can just be directly supplemented.
Can you meet your requirements through supplementation? Yes. But meat is a source as well, and for those that eat meat, proper digestion is necessary to liberate and absorb the B12
Turbo Esther Ruminant-Animals do create adequate levels of B12, in-vivo, through the conversion of the dietary-cobalt. Nearly all B12 that occurs in the environment comes from fecal-contamination or decomposing flesh.
Dr can vitamin b 12 help with sciatica and hairloss , and fat around my stomach i est very healthy but i store fat
B12 helps with energy production in the body and is very important for the nervous system so it can help make your nerves healthier but I wouldn't say it's going to specifically help sciatic pain. There are SO many things involved in hair loss it's difficult to say if B12 would be helpful. Regarding fat burning - B12 is involved in energy production at the cellular level. If your cells aren't efficient at producing energy, it is difficult to burn fat, because the reason you burn fat is to produce energy. I often recommend B12 for weight loss patients' general health. That being said, I would not consider B12 to be a supplement that is a 'fat burner".
I have chronic insomnia. Can I have only insomnia as b12 deficency symptom?
It’s very possible. Most people don’t have ALL symptoms of deficiency.
Is a slightly elevated MCV value helped by b12?
It's very possible. Deficiency in B12 and / or folate affect the maturation of red blood cells which in turn affects their size. There are several other things that can affect MCV beside b12 & folate as well. Also, a SLIGHTLY elevated MCV can be a normal variant.

Thanks for the reply !
Hello Dr.Smith Should I tale B12 I am a vegan for 2 years 1ywar ago I took a short period but now no .I kind of have symptoms but have to do blood checking .Thank you)
Usually vegans can benefit from B12 supplementation. If low, it can take years for symptoms to show up.
Dr. Brian Smith DC Health News thanks for answering)But better spray or tablets ?
Either is fine as long as both are sublingual (under the tongue)
can it cause you to get Leukemia???
Sandra Miller I haven’t seen any studies that say it causes leukemia, however some times the changes to blood cells due to a lack of B12 can mimic leukemia. Chronic myelocytic leukemia may cause a rise in B12
+Dr. Brian Smith DC Health News OK thanks
How much time does it take to feel better if we are on 1500 mcg methylcobalamin capsules??
Most people feel better pretty quickly on B12. Everyone is different and you should check with your physician regarding dose but many of my patients take 5000mcg 2 times daily (morning and afternoon)
I've had this for yrs injectionsl tablets don't feel much better tlnkling in feet all the time
@@brendadrumm9708 Unfortunately it sounds like your problem is not due to a B12 problem. There are many potential causes of tingling in the feet. You should consult with your physician and explore "peripheral neuropathy"
@@DrBrianSmithDC sir I have dizziness 24*7, my all reports are normal MRI with contrast is all normal all blood test is normal.but i feel dizzy all the time.i don't know what to do?? please help.my b12 was high when i was take 1500mcg sublingual i don't what can I do about my dizziness.its a very big big problem.can i take 5000mcg sublingual??now I am taking only multivitamin.
@@amitverma4978 Sorry it took so long to reply. If your B12 was high on 1500mcg there’s no need to take 5000mcg. As per your dizziness, I couldn’t possibly determine what’s causing your dizziness in the UA-cam comments section. It’s good that your MRIs show no hard lesions. I recommend that you find a Carrick-trained functional neurologist to evaluate you. They can do wonders.
can recurrent ulcer be due to vitamin b12 deficiency???
It's more likely that the ulcer and medication used to treat it would cause a B12 deficiency, because you need adequate stomach acid to absorb B12. A common cause of ulcers is H. pylori infection, which actually lowers stomach acid production.
Dr. Brian Smith DC Health News .. sir sorry to miss on that. i mean to say canker sores that too recuurent one.mouth ulcer
Ok, got it. Some studies have shown that b12 can help canker sores even if your blood work says you're not deficient in B12.
Dr. Brian Smith DC Health News : my cbc report shows normal report but iron aneamic defficienct value is greater then 13 which say iron deficient. mentezer index value in cbc is elevated..
Taking mega doses of Vitamin D3 & K2...and going on gluten free, dairy free diet solved my stomach problems. The gut runs on vitamin D.
I was told my body doesn't observe B12 so I have been taking shots, once ever 2 months. I checked my B12 less than a month ago and they told me it was normal however I feel burning sensation in my hands and feets. Any suggestions?
Check to see if your shots are methylcobalamin, not cyanocobalamin. Methylcobalamin tends to be used more efficiently by the body. that being said, there are other things besides b12 deficiency that can cause the feelings you are getting in your hands and feet.
Dr. Brian Smith DC Health News I have done so many blood works everything comes normal....what do you suggest I should do?
I can't really tell you which way to go without examining you. My suggestion is to find a doctor who specializes in FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE or functional neurology in your area, whether it be an MD, chiropractor, or a naturopath.
