Vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin B6

Vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin B6


Vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin B6 are involved in homocysteine metabolism.


What in the world is homocysteine?


More than likely, you've never heard of homocysteine. Although it was first described in the 1930s and its instrumental role in causing heart disease was discovered in the late 1960s, homocysteine has gone relatively unnoticed and underappreciated by the medical community—until recently.


Homocysteine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in your body as it processes protein. When you ingest the essential amino acid, methionine, it must be broken down into non-essential amino acids. An essential amino acid is a protein you must have to live. A non-essential amino acid may be made from essential proteins. A very important protein, methionine, is used to make many other important proteins.


Homocysteine is used in many of the important steps your body uses to break down methionine into non-essential proteins. At the end of the cycle, homocysteine is used to recombine the "leftovers" from this process back into a little methionine. This entire process takes a lot of energy. Your body gets this energy from vitamins and other nutrients.


If you don't have enough nutrition, especially if you are B-12 deficient—either because you are not getting B vitamins from the foods you eat or because your body is not able to adequately absorb them (which happens as we age)—the methionine is not recombined and homocysteine escapes into your bloodstream. If it does, the homocysteine will eventually become toxic and will damage your arteries and brain cells.

B-12 Needs

B-12 Needs

“Is my body getting the B-12 it needs for energy?”

Medical science has answered this question. And the experts agree that as you get older, your ability to absorb B-12 through digestion continually decreases. In fact, many adults are unable to absorb B-12 into their body at all! Even more, a depletion of vitamin B-12 can be detrimental to your health. Why? Because B-12 plays a key role in the production of chemicals that help regulate sleep, mood, appetite, and ENERGY!


Renowned doctors, Paul Cheney and Charles Lapp, conducted an important study with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients. They gave these patients high doses of B-12 injections. The B-12 shots dramatically increased ENERGY in 80% of the participants and helped them sleep better.

Now, doctors everywhere are administering B-12 shots to help their patients have more ENERGY. Yet, the shots are often painful and expensive. So is there another way? A simple, affordable, and less painful way? Yes.

Here is the important, simple solution to get the B-12 you need. In 1984, a patent was awarded to Dr. Alfred Libby, M.D. for his formulation of Sublingual B-12. Dr. Libby also added B-6 and folic acid to enhance the medical benefits of the Sublingual B-12. This original Sublingual B-12 melts under your tongue and speeds the essential B nutrients directly into your bloodstream where they immediately begin to help your body.

Super Sublingual B-12

Super Sublingual B-12

The Science of Sublingual

The word "sublingual" literally means "under the tongue." It refers to a method of administering substances in the mouth so that they can be rapidly absorbed into the blood vessels. The substance is absorbed through the buccal mucosa and into the sublingual vein where it has direct access to the blood circulation and is then carried throughout the whole body. Medical science has been using this method for years in the administration of cardiovascular drugs, steroids, and some barbiturates. The sublingual method has been life-saving for individuals who have had to rely on its speed and efficiency during times of critical emergency.

 
Here is why you might not be getting your B-12 with those other vitamins!
When the B-12 vitamin enters your body in the stomach (through food or oral pills), acids in the stomach separate the B-12 from its protein source. It then must combine with intrinsic factor cells in the stomach. This B-12/intrinsic factor complex travels to your intestine, where it is absorbed in the terminal ileum. The absorbed complex is then transported via blood plasma and stored in the liver.


The interruption of any of these steps affects your body's ability to absorb B-12.

Here is a list of common interruptions to B-12 absorption:


As you age (over 45) or become overly reliant on acid suppressing agents like antacids, your ability to produce gastric acids in the stomach decreases, meaning that the B-12 is less likely to be released from its food source.
An autoimmune or other disease reduces the production or blocks the action of intrinsic factor, resulting in intestinal malabsorption.


People with pernicious anemia have decreased production of intrinsic factor.


Abdominal surgery reduces B-12 absorption.
Gastrectomy eliminates the site of intrinsic factor production.
Blind loop syndrome results in competition for vitamin B-12 by bacterial overgrowth in the lumen of the small intestine.


Surgical resection of the ileum eliminates the site of vitamin B-12 absorption.
Pancreatic insufficiency such as fish tapeworm infection and severe Crohn's disease affect absorption.

B Vitamin Breakthrough

B Vitamin Breakthrough

The Story Behind Dr. Alfred Libby’s Revolutionary B Vitamin Breakthrough.
Alfred Libby, M.D., earned five doctorates and is recognized as one of the world’s pioneering authorities on therapeutic nutrition. Dr. Libby’s medical background in bio-chemical research includes an association with Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling.

In the late 1970s, Dr. Alfred Libby, renowned authority on therapeutic nutrition and longtime associate of Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling, began to explore an alternative delivery system for Vitamin B-12. The goal was to bypass the stomach where this essential nutrient is not easily absorbed.

In early spring of 1980, Dr. Libby approached his colleagues with his new theory that B-12 could be delivered to the bloodstream sublingually (under the tongue). Biochemists and his medical colleagues were quick to dismiss the idea. However, he was persistent and they eventually decided to give his theory a try, although they were convinced it would fail.

Six weeks later the first study was underway. Shortly after, Dr. Libby’s Sublingual B-12 invention was deemed a complete success—blood levels of B-12 increased dramatically. Dr. Libby’s patented sublingual delivery method can deliver almost all of the vitamin's power directly into the bloodstream.

The Story Behind Dr. Alfred Libby’s Revolutionary Breakthrough continued... Dr. Libby closely followed B Vitamin research throughout his lifetime—with special attention to the work of Dr. Kilmer McCully, who pioneered a B Vitamin/Homocysteine theory in the 1960s. Dr. McCully theorized and later proved, that homocysteine, a toxic amino acid, was the culprit in a large percentage of heart disease cases.

Both Dr. McCully and Dr. Libby knew that B Vitamins—specifically B-12, B-6 and folic acid—detoxified homocysteine and helped prevent heart disease. By the 1990s researchers began to uncover homocysteine’s link to other killers—stroke, diabetes and Alzheimer’s, among others.

As a result of this research, Dr. Libby took a new look at his patented Sublingual B-12, and added the perfect homocysteine-fighting proportions of B-6 and folic acid. The final result of 20 years of dedicated research and testing is TriVita’s unique, patented Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid—doctor-formulated for maximum absorption every day.

TriVita now provides Dr. Libby’s original sublingual formula to thousands of people across North America—over ten million boxes have been sold to date.

Can Super Sublingual B-12 Help

Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Dementia

Help Protect Your Future


An estimated 25-29 million people in the world suffer from dementia…vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease constitute the vast majority of cases. 


—World Health Organization

Alzheimer’s disease is the 12th cause of death in the United States and the 8th cause of death for people aged 65 and older. <BR>
—National Center for Health Statistics <P>

Over the next century, experts estimate that Alzheimer’s disease will be more prevalent than AIDS, cancer, and all cardiovascular diseases. 


—World Health Organization 

If you know someone who suffers from dementia, you know that it interferes with their ability to work, to participate in usual social activities, and to engage in healthy relationships with others. 

Dementia is becoming increasingly common. And while you may be familiar with its devastating effects, you may not know that a simple, diet-related prevention may help protect you and your loved ones.

Dementia, which is the most common cause of cognitive impairment, is defined as significant memory impairment and loss of intellectual functions. Symptoms include:

• Forgetfulness 
• Difficulties with familiar activities 
• Language problems 
• Problems with spatial and temporal orientation 
• Impaired capacity of judgment
• Problems with abstract thinking
• Leaving things behind 
• Mood swings and behavioral changes  
• Personality changes 
• Loss of initiative 

The vast majority of dementia cases are one of two types: Alzheimer’s disease or vascular dementia.

Early detection is the primary concern for Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia patients because any antidementia treatment—including vitamin supplementation—is not likely to reverse existing neuronal damage. The most we can hope for is to slow the progression or even to alter the course of the cognitive impairment.

While additional studies must be done to assess the effect of a healthy diet on cognitive impairment, many researchers suggest vitamin supplementation—especially of the B vitamins: B-12, B-6 and folic acid—to enhance nutritional status.
