Our Story
By Dr. Paul Bernitt, Board-Certified Doctor of Holistic Health
Have you ever wished you had more energy to complete necessary daily tasks and enjoy your favorite activities? When we don’t have the necessary energy, too often the mental clarity we need to stay sharp and focused throughout the day can also diminish. But, imagine waking up each morning feeling enthusiastic, vibrant, alert and ready to tackle whatever comes your way. For so many, this feels like an impossible dream—but it doesn’t have to be. The key to unlocking this renewed vitality may be something simple yet powerful: vitamin B12.
In this issue of Healthier You!, I’m excited to share the incredible science behind B12, a vitamin that supports so much more than energy and focus. Let’s explore how it fuels your body, protects your health and empowers you to live life to the fullest.
The Power of B12: Why It’s Essential
Vitamin B12 is like the spark plug for your body. It’s a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in several essential processes:
- Energy Production: B12 helps convert the food you eat into energy your body can use, giving you the stamina to enjoy your day without feeling drained.
- Mental Clarity: B12 supports your brain and nervous system, helping you stay sharp, focused and mentally resilient.
- Healthy Homocysteine Levels: High homocysteine levels in the blood can lead to cardiovascular issues. B12, along with other B vitamins like B6 and B9 (folate), helps break down homocysteine and keep your heart healthy.
- Nerve Function: Your nerves are like electrical highways that send signals between your brain and body. B12 helps maintain the protective coating around your nerves, keeping those signals strong and clear.
- Red Blood Cells and DNA: B12 is essential for producing healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout your body, and for making DNA, the blueprint for all your cells.
What the Science Says
Decades of research back up the importance of maintaining healthy B12 levels.
- Energy and Fatigue: Studies show that B12 deficiencies are linked to fatigue, weakness and a lack of energy. By replenishing B12, many people experience improved vitality and reduced tiredness.1
- Mental Function: Low levels of B12 have been associated with memory issues and slower mental processing. Research indicates that maintaining healthy B12 levels supports cognitive function and can even protect against age-related mental decline.2
- Heart Health: Research highlights how B12 helps lower homocysteine, a marker for cardiovascular risk. Keeping homocysteine levels in check supports a healthier heart.3,/sup>
- Nerve Protection: Clinical studies reveal that B12 plays a key role in preventing nerve damage, especially in older adults. This makes it critical for maintaining mobility and sensory function as we age.4
- Red Blood Cell Production: Without enough B12, red blood cells become irregularly shaped and less efficient at carrying oxygen. Adequate B12 ensures your body gets the oxygen it needs for optimal performance.5
Why Sublingual B-12 is a Game-Changer
Not all B12 supplements are created equal. Traditional pills or dietary sources rely on your digestive system to absorb the vitamin B12. As we age, our stomachs produce less acid, which is essential for extracting B12 from food. This may make digestive absorption less effective.
That’s where sublingual B12 comes in. Alfred Libby’s original patented formula dissolves under your tongue, allowing the vitamin to be absorbed directly into your bloodstream. This method bypasses digestion altogether, helping ensure your body gets the B12 it needs—quickly and effectively. (Discover More about Alfred Libby’s Original patented sublingual B-12.)
Daily B12: A Simple Step Toward Better Health
Because B12 is water-soluble, your body can’t store it for future use. Any excess is flushed out, meaning you need a consistent daily supply. Taking Alfred Libby’s Original B-12 each day is an easy and reliable way to meet your body’s needs.
A Personal Note: Why I Trust B-12
As a holistic health practitioner, I’ve seen firsthand the difference that maintaining proper B12 levels can make. I’ve worked with people who came to me feeling fatigued, foggy and unable to enjoy their lives. After incorporating B12 into their routine, they experienced incredible transformations—not just in energy, but in overall health and quality of life.
Personally, I rely on B-12 to keep up with the demands of my own busy life. Whether it’s guiding others on their wellness journey, spending time with my family or enjoying the outdoors, Alfred Libby’s Original B-12 helps me feel my best so I can give my best.
