The findings by senior study author Jerold Chun, MD, PhD, professor and senior vice president of neuroscience drug discovery, and Yasuyuki Kihara, PhD, research associate professor and co-corresponding author, and colleagues suggest new ways to improve the treatment of MS through CNS-B 12 supplementation
It was first created to treat type 2 diabetes and has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels, reduce the risk of heart disease, and improve metabolic parameters
B12 and Older Adults While a B12 deficiency isnt as prevalent as something like vitamin D or folate, evidence suggests that 10-15% of people over the age of 60 are low in B12, likely due to loss of a protein called intrinsic factor, which is essential for the body to absorb vitamin B12
B12 injections bypass the digestive system entirely, delivering the nutrient directly into the bloodstream for immediate, complete absorption far more effective than oral supplements when deficiency or absorption issues are present
