LOW B12 MAKES US AGE · Your Daily Dose

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome. It is July twenty ninth.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: July is just about had it. School starting soon, and
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: let's move into this time of the year thinking more
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: about health. And I'm getting ready for a presentation and
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: we do in October on longevity and aging. And now
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: a new study just came out this morning about a
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: specific supplement that can mimic the signs of aging when
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: it goes low.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Wonder what that is.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: We'll take a look at that and discuss the signs
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: of aging.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned, hi, and.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Health Talk with Doctor Lang. Your daily dose.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: The information you hear on the show is informational. It's
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: not meant to diagnose or treat any disease. Any kind
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: of complete health conditions must be checked out and discussed
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: with your primary care physicians. Get ready for the good
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: news of the day. God bless you folks. And here
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: is doctor Link. Our daily devotional today comes from the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Book of Hebrews, Chapter six.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Come to me continually.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I'm meant to be the center of your consciousness, the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: anchor of your soul.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Your mind will wander from me. The question is how
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: far will you allow it to wander?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: An anchor on a short rope lets a boat drift
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: only slightly before the taut line tugs the boat back
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: towards the center. Similarly, as you drift away from me,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: my spirit within you gives a tug, prompting you to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: return to me. As you become increasingly attuned to my presence,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the length of rope on your soul's anchor is shortened.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: You wonder only a short distance before feeling the inner
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: tug telling you to return to the true center in me.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Good things to think about today.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Stay tuned seven seven, nine, one, six, four to two
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: one five to reach me off air.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Up to one in five older adults may be suffering
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: from poor clinical cellular.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Energy production due to a lack of vitamin B twelve.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: If you're over sixty feeling tired all the time, I
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: have tingling in your hands and feet and a cold
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you just can't shake. It's easy to chalk it up
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to be getting older, but there's a good chance to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: real culprit is a vitamin you may not be absorbing.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Vitamin B twelve deficiency syndromes can mimic signs of normal
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: aging and as a result, be easy to miss. New
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: preclinical research is now exploring the possible reason why B
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: twelve's role in keeping your mitochondria, the energy factory inside
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: your cells, running properly. Mitochondria play a major role in
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the body, as the tiny power plants to produce energy
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: inside cells. A decline in the mitochondrial function is a
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: hallmark of aging, and B twelve plays a direct role
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: in both energy production and mitochondrial health. Two recent pre
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: clinical studies help explain the connection. In the first study,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: published in the Journal of Nutrition, researchers reduce B twelve
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: availability in mice and examined skeletal muscle, which has high
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: energy demands. The mitochondria worked less efficiently, produced less energy
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: than B twelve is low, and showed sign of damage
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to their DNA. Martha Field, co author of both studies
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: associate professor at Cornell's University with a doctoral degree in biochemistry,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: said earlier mouse research had already linked B twelve deficiencies
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to mitochondrial DNA damage and reduced energy production. That letter
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: teemed to look more closely at tissues that rely heavily
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: on the mitochondria, such as muscle, heart, and brain. The
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: muscle connection is especially important for older adults since B
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: twelve deficiency becomes more common with aid, partially due to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: reduced absorption at the same time that aging adults faced
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: elevated risk of sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and strength.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: It erodes independence and quality of life. We sort of as.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: A scientific term, shown that B twelve deficiency or insufficiency
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: is kind of a second hit on the same time,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a tissue at the.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Same time which is vulnerable.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: The second study, published in the Geoscience magazine, explored whether
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: B twelve supplementation ned reverse the damage. Study author Anna
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Mercer and associate professor in cell developmental integrated biology, supplemented
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: older mice of B twelve to see if it could
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: restore mitochondrial functioning. We've known the B twelve absorption declines
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: with age and mitochondria disfunctioned to homework of aging.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Our thought is, if there's a.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Link between B twelve availability in mitochondria and older adults,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: supplementation might reverse the decline.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: We were surprised about how robust a result we observed.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: The exciting finding is that mice in mice improving B
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: twelve status was associated with better mitochondrial functioning and muscle
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: This suggests that B twelve can play a role in
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: not only preventing deficiency disease, but also supporting cellular energy
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: systems that help maintain healthy agent.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Both researchers noted that these studies are in animals and
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: not proof of an.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Effect on humans.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Of course, B twelve are Cobolamine is made by the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: microorganisms of travel at the food chain to us via
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the animals that eat it, meaning the best natural sources
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: are meat, eggs, and dairy. Humans do not produce it
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and must get it from food four to five products
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: or supplements. B twelve is stored by the liver, which
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: can hold a year's worth of our needed supply. This
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: is why a deficiency can develop slowly and go unnoticed
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: for a long time. That's a critical factor that most
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: people don't know. Getting enough is in just about how
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: much BE twelves in your back, but also about whether
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: you can break it down and absorb it. Our ability
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: to absorb nutrients effectively tends to decrease with age, as
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: does the amount of stomach acid needed to release BE
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: twelve in food so it can be absorbed and used.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Absorption can also be affected by medications, especially met Foreman
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: for type two diabetes. Ppi's proton pump prohibitors used to
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: reduce stomach acid also lower B twelve. Both can interfere
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: with absorption, and both are widely used among older adults.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: The last one hundred years have seen a move from
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the identification of the nutrient as an essential vitamin that
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: prevents a fatal disease to the realization that older people
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: at more risk of becoming B twelve efficient. So what
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: symptoms should we watch for? B twelve is vital for
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: making myelin to protective covering around nerves. We don't get
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: enough B twelve milins compromised and the nerve fibers can
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: become exposed, leading to numbless and tingling in the hands
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and feet. If it progresses, it can also leave a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: degeneration of the spinal cord, resulting loss of balance or coordination.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Difficulty walking, and condition called subacute combined degeneration the big
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: entiedness are probably the most common symptoms. Brain fog cognitive
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: changes are.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Also quite common.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Other possible symptoms include tiredness or exhaustion, shortness of breath,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: ballance problems, poor memory, vision problems, and weight loss. B
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: twelve status can be checked with a standard blood lab.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Common tests for B twelve deficiencies aren't very accurate. You
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: can send the same blood sample to five different labs
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: get five different results. More precise testing, which means looking
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: for byproducts that build up in the blood as a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: result of deficiency, exist but remain expensive. Individual responses to
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: low B twelve can vary widely. It's likely two people
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: at the same level B twelve can result in one
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: of them being insufficient the other will suffer from the deficiency.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: If you having symptoms, you assume.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: You're a part of getting older. You may want to
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: consider testing for B twelve. There, you got it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Get your B twelve checked and go to Nutrition Frontiers
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and check out B twelve in a very easy to
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: use once.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: A day supplement. All right, God bless you folks. That's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: what we got for you today. See you back your sin.
