    ATTENTION: I made a mistake in the video. I said that Intrinsic Factor is made in the small intestine. However, it's actually released by the parietal cells in the stomach. Thanks to @white-collar clasher for pointing that out.

    Not sure if you can answer this but I had my blood drawn and it was put in the spinner to extract the plasma. The nurse told me the blood cells were blue and she never seen that before. I can’t find any answers on why this happened. I am anemic and have low vitamin D. I’ve been swimming a lot in my pool that has a ionizer which has small amounts of copper ( I’m thinking this might be the cause because it’s the only thing new). I also have RA. I’m just confused why my blood cells would be blue and how I can fix it

    • @InteractiveBiology
      @InteractiveBiology  5 місяців тому

      Low B12 levels can lead to a type of anemia where red blood cells become larger and inefficient in transporting oxygen. This then puts strain on the heart as it works harder to supply oxygen throughout the body. Also, low B12 can lead to increased homocysteine levels, a risk factor for heart disease. This can lead to artery damage and heart problems. B12 is very important.
