Facts about B-12
- B-12 can put an end to memory glitches. A study of 3,000 Americans found that feelings of
confusion and memory loss were the first symptoms to crop up in people with low B-12.
The reason, B-12 is vital for keeping electrical impulses moving through the body.

- B-12 can boost your happiness. Finnish research suggests that taking as little as
1000 mcg of B-12 daily helps steady your mood - and if you're experiencing full-blown
depression, it increases the effectiveness of anti-depressant medications.
CW Randolph of the Natural Hormone Institute in Jackson, FL, explains, "B-12
nourishes the nervous system, adrenal and pineal gland, which all need to be in top
form to keep moods on an even keel."

- B-12 helps keep bones strong for life. When Tufts University scientists measured
the bone density of nearly 2600 adults, they found that women with the highest levels
of B-12 in their diets had the strongest, most break resistant bones. B-12 activates
osteoblasts, tiny cells that then work nonstop to build healthy bone tissues.
-
- B-12 can help clear up canker sores. The cause of canker sores isn't known, but
according to a recent Israeli study, when subjects were given a B12 supplement, 74%
of them reported that their painful flare-ups disappeared within 5 months.
