I get fatigue, cool feet, and dizzy easily especially when I bend down to pick up things. These happened quite often but I’m not sure the why until I did my Iron Deficiency Assessment. 😱😱
.
Then I found out that I have anemia or iron deficiency. I started to take BiO-LiFE Ferrovit that contains Iron, Folic Acid, and Vitamin B12. It comes in an individual blister packing for convenient, easy handling, and prevent oxidation. ✨✨
.
Now I feel more energetic and wake up looking fresher. The dizziness and fatigue symptoms also subside gradually. 🥰🥰

【保健知多D】維生素知多D:維生素B12
〈維生素B12有咩用?關貧血咩事?〉
首先在結構上,因為維生素B12含有「鈷(Cobalt)」這種元素,所以偶爾可能會稱為鈷胺素(Cobalamin)。
至於維生素B12的其中兩項功能主要在促進髓鞘(Myelin Sheath)的合成、成紅細胞(Erythroblasts)的分化(這個過程一般稱為「紅細胞生成(Erythropoiesis)」),維持神經細胞、紅血球的正常功能。
所以當人體缺乏維生素B12往往可能會損害神經、誘發貧血(Anemia),至於這種貧血一般又會稱為惡性貧血(Pernicious Anemia)。
就算補充鐵質(Iron),還是不能改善這種貧血。
不過就算人體攝取足夠的維生素B12,還是可能會誘發惡性貧血。
為什麼?
哦,不說不知道,維生素B12進入消化道後,原來還需要分別透過胃酸、內因子(Intrinsic Factor, IF)才能進入人體。
首先胃酸會促進蛋白質裡的維生素B12釋放出來,然後胃壁細胞(Parietal Cells)便會分泌內因子做載體接收維生素B12,最後便會透過迴腸末端(Terminal Ileum)吸收。
至於不論是胃酸還是內因子,兩者的原產地同是胃壁。
這就是說,當人體的胃壁不能如常分泌胃酸、內因子的時候,人體便不能如常吸收維生素B12,從而可能會誘發維生素B12缺乏症。
舉例說,要是正在服用一些制酸劑,例如H2受體拮抗劑(H2 Antagonist)、質子泵抑制劑(Proton Pump Inhibitor, PPI),便可能會讓胃部趨向鹼性,不利釋放食物裡的維生素B12出來,自然不利維生素B12的吸收。
又或者要是用藥者曾經進行次全胃切除(Subtotal Gastrectomy),便可能會減少胃壁的表面面積,自然便可能會減少胃酸、內因子的分泌,同樣不利維生素B12的吸收。
相較而言,長者往往未必能夠分泌足夠的胃酸來釋放蛋白質裡的維生素B12出來,所以一般較容易會出現維生素B12缺乏症。
除此之外,因為維生素B12的來源主要是動物,例如牛肝,所以素食者同樣可能會較容易出現維生素B12缺乏症。
所以這些人便可能需要服用維生素B12補充劑額外補充維生素B12來預防維生素B12缺乏症。
在劑型上,主要是針劑、口服兩種。
相較而言,口服的吸收率一般較低,吸收差,劑量自然大。
舉例說,如果是惡性貧血的話,一般建議每天服用300至1000mcg維生素B12[1] [2][3][4],用來彌補口服維生素B12的低吸收率,確保人體能夠攝取足夠的維生素B12。
在副作用上,維生素B12看來安全,不過高劑量的維生素B12可能會誘發或者惡化暗瘡。[5][6]
值得一提,因為葉酸可能會遮蓋維生素B12缺乏症的先兆,往往較可能會對神經構成永久性損害,所以每天服用超過400mcg葉酸前,一般建議首先檢查維生素B12是否達標,目的在排除維生素B12缺乏症的可能。
