The Importance of Vitamin B12

The Importance of Vitamin B12

According to recent studies, many people over the age of 50 lack enough stomach acid to adequately absorb vitamin B-12. Since the vitamin is also found naturally only in animal products, vegetarians and vegans can also be at risk of deficiency.

Vitamin B12 is crucial to keeping the brain healthy, and it's also critical to the health of just about every cell and system, including the blood and nervous system. The liver stores it for us, so even when we don't get it every day, we usually aren't at risk of deficiency for a while.

The trick with vitamin B12, however, is absorption. The stomach has to secrete enough acid plus the digestive enzyme pepsin to extract vitamin B12 from food. Once it's free, the nutrient has to combine with a protein known as intrinsic factor secreted by the stomach lining, which protects it while it's transported to the small intestine for absorption. That means we have to have a healthy stomach and a well-functioning pancreas (which produces the digestive enzymes) in order to properly absorb vitamin B12.

The following factors can contribute to poor absorption of this vitamin:

¢ Age over 50 (if there aren't enough stomach acids)
¢ Heavy drinking (leads to inflammation of the stomach, affecting digestion)
¢ Poor diet
¢ Unhealthy gastrointestinal system
¢ Surgery that removes part of the stomach or small intestine
¢ Inflammatory bowel disease
¢ Autoimmune disorders
¢ Long-term use of acid-reducing drugs (like Nexium, Pepcid, and Zantac)
¢ Vegetarianism or veganism

Tips to Increase Vitamin B12



1. Food: Increase your intake of meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy.
Alcohol: Don't consume more than the recommended intake of one serving per day for women, and two for men.
2. Supplements: If you don't regularly consume foods that are good sources of vitamin B, consider a daily dietary supplement.
3. Drink cranberry juice: A study published in 2005 indicated that eating cranberries or drinking cranberry juice may help increase the absorption of vitamin B12. Cranberry capsules at doses of 300 to 1,200 mg per day may also work.
4. Calcium: Calcium is necessary for vitamin B12 absorption, so make sure you're getting enough of this nutrient, as well.
5. Consider caffeine: Caffeine stimulates the production of stomach acid, which helps the body absorb vitamin B12. Just be careful not to consume too much, as then you may experience other symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, and edginess.

Benefits

  • Supports joint health and movement – Encourages flexibility and mobility for an active lifestyle.
  • Promotes strong cartilage and connective tissue – Provides essential sulfur to maintain joint integrity.
  • Boosts skin hydration and elasticity – Helps support collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
  • Encourages strong hair and nails – Contributes to hair strength and reduces brittleness.
  • Assists with post-exercise recovery – Supports muscle and tissue repair after physical activity.
  • Supports digestive function – Helps maintain overall gut health and nutrient absorption.

Why It Works

MSM is a natural source of sulfur, an essential nutrient involved in collagen formation, connective tissue maintenance, and overall recovery. Since modern food processing reduces sulfur levels in our diets, supplementing with MISMO MSM helps replenish these vital nutrients for long-term well-being.

Who is it for?

Individuals looking to support joint flexibility and movement, skin hydration, strong hair and nails, and overall wellness.

How MSM Supports an Active, Healthy Lifestyle

  • Joint & Mobility Support: Provides essential sulfur for maintaining joint comfort and flexibility.

  • Skin, Hair & Nail Nourishment: Helps protect collagen and contributes to stronger, more resilient hair and nails.

  • Post-Exercise Recovery: Assists in muscle and tissue support after workouts to help you feel refreshed.

Many people who include MSM in their daily routine report feeling more comfortable and active.

Active Ingredient

  • 100% MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) – A bioavailable, ultra-pure form of sulfur that supports joints, skin, and connective tissue.

  • Packaged in Australia from imported ingredients. Vegan, gluten-free, and free from additives or anti-caking agents.

How to Use

MSM should be taken daily, and results should not be expected immediately. The recommended daily dose is 2–6 grams.

  • Start slow: Take ¼–½ teaspoon daily (or 1–2 capsules) and allow your body to adjust.
  • Increase gradually: After a week, increase to 1 teaspoon daily (or up to 6 capsules), based on your needs.
  • Best taken in the morning: Many users find it provides a natural boost when mixed with water or juice.

Some people experience mild detox effects when starting MSM, like slight headaches. If this happens, just lower your dose and gradually increase it. This is a sign that MSM is working.

MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen

Pairing MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen can help absorption and effectiveness. Vitamin C plays a key role in collagen production, which, when combined with MSM, helps support joint health, skin elasticity, and overall well-being. Many people take these together as part of their daily routine to support healthy aging, mobility, and skin vitality.

MSM and Magnesium also work together to support muscle recovery, joint health, and overall well-being. MSM helps with flexibility and inflammation support, while Magnesium plays a key role in muscle relaxation and nerve function. Many people take them together to help with muscle tension, post-workout recovery, and overall mobility. Pairing MSM with Magnesium can be a great way to support an active lifestyle and daily comfort.
