Let’s talk about the first sign of methylcobalamin deficiency.

Methylcobalamin is vitamin B12, and it’s essential for DNA, red blood cells, and your myelin sheath. Vitamin B12 also helps support your spinal column and brain.

If you’re deficient in vitamin B12, you could experience tingling, numbness, or burning sensations.

Other signs of vitamin B12 deficiency can include:
• Chronic pain
• Depression
• Muscle wasting
• Blurry vision
• Tinnitus
• Anemia
• Mouth ulcers
• Sore throat
• Hair loss

You could also experience symptoms if you have too much vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 toxicity will typically occur if you’re taking too much synthetic vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)—not the natural version (methylcobalamin).

Cyanocobalamin can build up in the body and cause symptoms such as:
• Acne
• Palpitations
• Anxiety
• Red cheeks
• Headaches
• Insomnia
• Akathisia
• Suicidal thoughts

You could be deficient in vitamin B12 long before you start to feel any effects. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t damage being done. One of the first symptoms you would eventually feel is extreme fatigue.

Foods high in vitamin B12 are animal products. There is no vitamin B12 in plants.

Top causes of vitamin B12 deficiency:
• Malabsorption
• Plant-based or vegan diets
• Gastric bypass
• Atrophy of the stomach
• Gastritis
• H. pylori infection
• Ulcers
• Inflammation in the intestines
• Aspirin
• Alcohol
• Junk foods
• Antibiotics
• Antacids or PPIs
• Birth control pills
• Pregnancy
• Lactation
• Smoking
• Polymorphism

I was shopping for liquid vitamin B12 online when I realized that there were two types available: cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin. The former had about 21, 380 ratings as opposed to the latter with 10, 800 ratings. I had my mind made up to buy the most popular one of course, but decided to watch one of Dr. Berg's video on vitamins B12. Wouldn't you know it, my original choice was NOT the right one! Who would have thought?
This was very useful information at the right time.
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg, ♥

I also feel more energy with B12. ❤ Happy Thanksgiving, Dr. Berg & community. I'm 10 pounds from my goal weight! I couldn't have done it without you.❤

Dr Berg please - we HIGHLY need a comprehensive video in which you cover MTHFR mutations and your advice how to fix the methylate cycle if you have it. This is such a common mutation affecting over 50% of population, that doesn't even know. I have it too, like many others, would be SO great if you could please make a video on this and on how to fix it, and which vitamins/supplements to take and which to avoid. You never covered this I think as standalone topic, but would be so helpful. Thanks!

Dr Berg, I just put "keto" into the search bar and started counting. An older video of yours cane up at #34, but it was the only one in the first 100. I quit counting at 100. What can we as followers do to let YouTube know how unhappy we are with their manipulation?

I was dx B12 deficient a decade ago. Goes along with malabsorption syndrome. Coincidentally daily PPI for 15 years.
I’ve been injecting synthetic B12 every 15 days for that whole time.
The past 8-10 months I’ve been “dying”. Constant muscle pain, extreme neuropathy, falls from lack of balance, couldn’t even step into my F150 truck today. Tried. Fell in parking lot. I’m so over this life.
Tomorrow I see my dr. Heart 2 Heart time. Time to switch to methyl. 3 X week…I thank everyone who posted vids about this!!
Also: MRI for left sided migraines, IBS, bloating, dx with demyelinating disease, suspected MS. All adds up to severe B12 deficiency.

[halimashahab]

Good morning, Dr.Berg another great and educational video as usual. Thank you very much for sharing it 🙏🥰 🇨🇦

[AFineLineA]

@ Dr. Berg You are tops in explaining in simple easy terms that just about anyone can understand and put to immediate use. Thank You so very much for all the free knowledge you so generously pass on to those of us searching for better health by being in the know to what is being done right and eliminating what is unknowingly being done wrong.

As ever, always spot on, eye opening and connecting the dots needed and useful information to the missing bits not previously put together to get a better view of the overall health picture being searched for a very long time and getting closer and closer to "got it (" it" being sorely needed missing bits that tie what is known together for better overall health)" finally!

Again, a very sincere Thank You!

[johndrop]

Great timing. I was just researching B12 last night. Thanks Doc

[RiyalRyan]

All the issues are gone since I started B12 ( Methylcobalamin ) ❤

Some of the most nutritious foods you can eat are oily fish, eggs, avocados, potatoes, and green leafy vegetables. However, no food provides all the nutrients we need, so it's essential to have a varied diet that includes plenty of fresh ingredients and is as little processed as possible

See potatoes are healthy!

I love your content, but I have to say the change to your studio and sound is exceptional! I love it!

[justchillian]

Once again mind blown by your knowledge 🤯

[minuette]

As a heavy drinker for about four decades I can confirm I have had this issue more times than I can remember.

[AudioTruyenLangQue]

Thank you so much for your help and advice,
I really appreciate your job. I wish you happiness and peace under the sky of prosperity. All the best.
Take care and have a good time
