As we age, we generally need more vitamin B12.

You can check the status of vitamin B12 and C-reactive protein in blood tests, with CRP being the more common test. If you believe your inflammation is already low, ask your doctor for an hs-CRP test, which can accurately interpret just how low your levels get, as the normal CRP tests assumes you have more than a little, and can’t read low values, well.

Good info, I need to up my B12 intake. I have an inflammatory disease and I can’t stress enough that everyone say 55+, at there annual physical ask to have their hs-CRP levels checked when they do all the other normal blood test. Inflammation is a hidden very bad health issue that no one knows you have if not for the hs-CRP test. High Sensitivity -c Reactive Protein test. My GP didn’t look at mine when my issue arose, the neurologist did mine and my cRP was 156, it is supposed to be under 10 at most labs. I could have gone blind if he didn’t check and that test led to a biopsy of my temple artery which confirmed my diagnosis of Giant Cell Arteritis.

Take your fish oil kids!

Thank you. We were giving the cat B12 shots because it’s believed related to her inflammatory bowel syndrome, low levels being both a cause (perhaps) and a result of her suggestive system being unable to absorb enough B12.
As her condition improved, we were able to shift to oral B12 because she can absorb it now.
So interesting to see this study discussing B12, absorption
and inflammation.

Gingivitis (gum inflammation) is directly linked to heart disease. Inflammation is bad for the human body. Take B12 and brush your teeth freepers!

B-12 is the only supplement I take, its water soluble so any excess is simply eliminated, your body takes what it needs and dumps the rest. It really does give u a boost.

There is nothing better than a B12 cattle injection. You can get on Amazon. Your muscles and stress just drop away.

I’ve been having some eyelid twitching. I was telling my hubby that I thought I needed to see a doctor. He suggested taking B12. My eyelid hasn’t twitched since I started taking it.

Here’s another article I came across the other day, discussing how eating less calories helps the body with muscle strength and helps inflammation.
