B-12 Supplements and Cardio Health

Here is another reason to get your B12 +Plus patches  from Crazy Good Creations today!  Not only do they support your energy level and metabolic function, it appears to give your cardio health a boost!

A recent study indicates that daily B-12 supplementation appears to “improve the arterial function and provide “novel strategy” to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis in vegetarians”.

“Vegetarians with sub-optimal B-12 levels who received daily supplements of the B vitamin displayed improvements in flow-mediated dilation (FMD), a measure of a blood vessel’s healthy ability to relax, according to findings published in The Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging.”*

“Vitamin B-12 deficiency is prevalent among older people and vegetarians and is mostly asymptomatic,” explained the researchers.

Results of the B12 supplementation study as related to cardio:

  • Significant increase in blood levels of vitamin B-12, as well as a lowering of homocysteine, an amino acid that at high levels is linked to heart disease.
  • B-12 supplementation increased FMD from 6.3% to 6.9%, but no such improvements were observed in the placebo group.
  • Twelve weeks of supplementation also significantly reduced the average thickness of the carotid artery walls from 0.69 to 0.67 mm.

“Vitamin B-12 supplementation in asymptomatic vegetarians with compromised vitamin B-12 status may lead to a significant improvement in arterial endothelial function and carotid intima-media thickness, with potential benefit on cardiovascular health,” explained the researchers.

Crazy Good Creations staff uses Inner Health’s B12 + Plus Patches as it is difficult for the body to absorb B12 via oral supplementation.  Vitamin B12 is referred to as the ‘energy vitamin’ and rightly so.  This patch is a simple and affordable way to get your B12 without an injection that requires a prescription and that can be expensive, as well as painful.

 

Our clients agree that this patch does not provide a ‘nervous, knock-you-over’ kind of energy; instead there is a subtle realization of being able to go through the day with more focus,  accomplishment and general feeling of well-being.
