Impairment of remethylation occurs when there is dietary deficiency of folate or vitamin B12, or defects in MTHFR, methionine synthase, or one of the enzymes required for the formation of methylcobalamin (7)
There are many B12 deficiency signs and symptoms, including: Numbness Tingling, pins and needles Weakness, dizziness High homocysteine, low methionine Megaloblastic macrocytic anaemia Mild or moderate leukopenia (low white blood cells) Mild or moderate thrombocytopenia (low platelets) Enlarged red blood cells (macrocytosis) Abnormal white cell (neutrophils) Chronic fatigue or tiredness General weakness or lethargy General Signs and Symptoms: Ataxia, (unsteady walking) Paresthesia (prickling sensation) and weakness in peripheral nerves Confusion Infertility Vision loss Leg pains Shortness of breath Loss of appetite/weight loss Epigastric pain Osteoporosis Increased susceptibility to infection Failure to thrive in infants Vitiligo Premature greying of hair Burning feet Mental Changes Depression (including postpartum depression) Irritability Apathy Psychosis Sleepiness Suspiciousness (paranoia) Personality changes Memory loss Dementia, intellectual deterioration Hallucinations Violent behaviour Developmental delay and/or autistic behaviour in children Neurological signs and symptoms Abnormal sensations ie: pain, tingling, numbness of legs, arms, trunk A diminished sense of touch, pain and/or temperature Loss of position sense (awareness of body position) Weakness of limbs Clumsiness Tremor Symptoms mimicking Parkinsons disease or MS Spasticity of muscles Incontinence (urine or stool) Paralysis Vision changes Damage to the optic nerve neuritis, inflammation, atrophy Vascular Problems Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) Cerebral vascular accident Coronary artery disease Myocardial infarction Congestive heart failure Palpitations Orthostatic hypotension Deep vein thrombosis Pulmonary embolism 7 Why is B12 deficiency often underdiagnosed
Glutathione is often best taken on an empty stomach to maximize the speed of absorption, though liposomal formats are much more flexible because of their protective shell
So knowing what's in the bloodstream is only indicating how much B12 has not been absorbed or used by the body yet
Your hemoglobin level should be 13 g/dL (grams per deciliter) or higher for men or 12 g/dL or higher for women
