Questions about vitamins?
What role does vitamin B12 play?
Without vitamin B12 the body has difficulty creating the red blood cells which carry oxygen and allow the brain and the nervous system to function properly. A deficiency in vitamin B12 can result in symptoms of chronic fatigue and lethargy. Evidence abounds of people combating the adverse of effects of such deficiencies with vitamin B12 supplementation. (Vitamin B12’s application in respect of chronic fatigue)
Can vitamin B12 help people such as vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, B12 supplementation can be quite helpful for people who do not eat meat or animal products which are normally the best sources of B12. Vitamin B12 is very popular amongst vegans.
Why do athletes take vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 is very popular amongst athletes who place heavy demands on their body for high performance. Even a small B-vitamin deficiency can result in reduced performance and recovery. Individual B-vitamin requirements vary and may depend upon the type and intensity of exercise, the amount of nutrients lost through sweat, and urine, and individual differences in diet. Those most at risk for the B-vitamin deficiencies include athletes who are limiting calories or have specialized, consistent or restricted eating plans.
Researchers at Oregon State University, published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, found that athletes who lack B-vitamins have reduced high-intensity exercise performance and are less able to repair damaged muscles or build muscle mass than their peers who eat a diet rich with B-vitamins.
Additionally, the heightened sense of well being that can result from supplementation has been reported anecdotally to contribute to increased motivation and drive which leads to better performance. Athletes that feel good perform better.
