Do you need a shot of B12?

Popularized by doctors interested in nutrition, sports nutrition, and nutritionists, B12 is great for a kick in the butt or I should say a shot in the butt for energy. No, literally…B12 shots for quick energy and absorption into your body is very popular today too. But for most of us we’re not going to the doctor to get our shots today so how and why should we look out for foods high in B12 or take a supplement?

Genomics. I’m becoming fascinated with this subject because when I read the article using b vitamins to keep the genes healthy I thought YES!, we are validating the science of nutrition and taking supplements or foods for specific nutrients to the core of our health. The switch which turns on and off our gene expressions and b vitamins are critical, yes critical my friends.

Got low energy? Instead of reaching for red bull which is only for a short kick and then you’re down again, I say reach for the b’s and if you’re vegetarian or vegan, definitely reach for the B12. B12 intrinsic factor for your digestion of proteins in your stomach is super important. IF you go to my newstrition facebook posts(and please become a fan!!) you’ll see a question I pointed to you……is eating quality food important or is absorption more important? Well, I’ll start with absorption is more important.

B 12 is important for protein absorption and so many other things I’ve hoped you’ve learned or picked up from this post. I’m going to take my b complex right now for my energy and vitality. You? Are you going to boost your nutrition with some Beeee’s??
