Vita-Vim for Women 50+ monograph.pdf - Jamieson Vitamins

several years worth of vitamin B 12 vegetarians, or thosewho eat little to no animal protein, can be deficient sincethis vitamin is found predominantly in foods of animalorigin. 23 Stomach acid is required to separate vitamin B 12from the protein its bound to in food, where it is thencombined with a protein made by the body calledintrinsic factor, which helps transport the vitamin fromthe intestines into the blood. 24 As a person ages, theacidity in the stomach decreases, causing inadequateabsorption of vitamin B 12 from food sources. 24 Thus, theNational Institutes of Medicine recommends that anyoneover the age of 50 take a dietary supplement with vitaminB 12 . 24Vitamin B 12 acts as a coenzyme for normal DNAsynthesis, promotes growth, cell development, and bloodcell development. 23 It is also required for properdigestion, and the synthesis of proteins. Vitamin B 12 isrequires for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats andproteins. 23 Vitamin B 12 is especially important for thesynthesis of DNA in tissues. Vitamin B 12 ensures thecontinuous DNA production and prevents the occurrenceof abnormal cells called megaloblasts. 23 This can lead topernicious anemia, wherein the body cannot makeenough red blood cells either due to a lack of vitaminB 12 , or an inability to absorb vitamin B 12 from the diet. 23Low levels of vitamin B 12 can cause pernicious anemia,numbness, tingling in the extremities, weakness and lossof balance. 23 A deficiency can result in vitamin B 12neuropathy, involving degeneration of nerve fibres andirreversible neurological damage. 23Vita-Vim For Women 50+ is formulated from naturalsources and is pharmaceutically tested to guarantee fullpotency and absolute clinical purity.What makes Vita-Vim For Women 50+ from JamiesonLaboratories different…and why does that differencemean better?1) Formulated with vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), thesame form that is naturally produced in the body whenskin is exposed to sunlight.
