Overfed and Undernourished & Vitamin B12


To summarize the first article in this series, we continue to be a world of haves and have-nots but in today’s version even the haves are suffering and they are suffering from having too much. This too much is too much food but not enough nutrition. The haves can eat all the time but they are choosing to eat the wrong foods and or the empty foods. Empty foods meaning that they are eating but there is no nutritional value in the food that they are choosing to eat, this is why we are giving you this information on where to find the whole food sources for the majority of your vitamin and mineral needs.
In this supplement we are covering the systems supported, the benefits to be found and the whole food sources for vitamin B12.
Systems support and Benefits:
B12 supports the brain, nervous, blood, digestive, hepatic (liver) systems. B12 is a cofactor for two very important enzymes. One is involved in methionine metabolism and the other in the production of energy from proteins and fats. It supports nervous system function, helps synthesize choline, promotes the maturation of red blood cells and other rapidly growing cells, and supports bone and joint health.
Food sources:
Fish (halibut, salmon, scallops, shrimp, snapper), lamb, lean beef, organ meats, and yogurt.
