  • Vitamins Minerals Nutrients
    vitamins minerals nutrients Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) Snapshot Monograph Vitamin B12 Nutrient name(s): (Cyanocobalamin) Vitamin B12 Most Frequent Reported Uses: Cyanocobalamin • Homocysteine regulation Methylcobalamin • Neurological health, including Adenosylcobalamin (Cobamamide) diabetic neuropathy, cognitive Hydroxycobalamin (European) function, vascular dementia, stroke prevention • Anemias, including pernicious and megaloblastic • Sulfite sensitivity Cyanocobalamin Introduction: Vitamin B12 was isolated from liver extract in 1948 and reported to control pernicious anemia. Cobalamin is the generic name of vitamin B12 because it contains the heavy metal cobalt, which gives this water-soluble vitamin its red color. Vitamin B12 is an essential growth factor and plays a role in the metabolism of cells, especially those of the gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and nervous tissue. Several different cobalamin compounds exhibit vitamin B12 activity. The most stable form is cyanocobalamin, which contains a cyanide group that is well below toxic levels. To become active in the body, cyanocobalamin must be converted to either methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin. Adenosylcobalamin is the primary form of vitamin B12 in the liver. © Copyright 2013, Integrative Health Resources, LLC | www.metaboliccode.com A protein in gastric secretions called intrinsic factor binds to vitamin B12 and facilitates its absorption. Without intrinsic factor, only a small percentage of vitamin B12 is absorbed. Once absorbed, relatively large amounts of vitamin B12 can be stored in the liver. The body actually reabsorbs vitamin B12 in the intestines and returns much of it to the liver, allowing for very little to be excreted from the body. However, when there are problems in the intestines, such as the microflora being imbalanced resulting in gastrointestinal inflammation, then vitamin B12 deficiencies can occur.

  • Composition: Each
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Composition: Each Tablet Contains L-Methylfolate 1mg Mecobalamin 1500 mcg Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate 0.5mg Pharmacokinetic properties: L-methylfolate is a water soluble molecule which is primarily excreted via the kidneys. In a study of subjects with coronary artery disease (n=21), peak plasma levels were reached in 1-3 hours following ORAL/PARENTERAL administration. Peak concentrations of L-methylfolate were found to be more than seven times higher than folic acid (129 ng ml-1 vs. 14.1 ng ml-1) following ORAL/PARENTERAL administration. The mean elimination half-life is approximately 3 hours after 5mg of oral L- methylfolate, administered daily for 7 days. The mean values for Cmax, Tmax, and AUC0-12 were 129 ng ml-1, 1.3 hr., and 383 respectively. Red blood cells (RBCs) appear to be the storage depot for folate, as RBC levels remain elevated for periods in excess of 40 days following discontinuation of supplementation. Plasma protein binding studies showed that L-methylfolate is 56% bound to plasma proteins. Mecobalamin substances bind to intrinsic factor; a glycoprotein secreted by the gastric mucosa, and are then actively absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Absorption is impaired in patients with an absence of intrinsic factor, with a malabsorption syndrome or with disease or abnormality of the gut, or after gastrectomy. Absorption from the gastrointestinal tract can also occur by passive diffusion; little of the vitamin present in food is absorbed in this manner although the process becomes increasingly important with larger amounts such as those used therapeutically. After intranasal dosage, peak plasma concentrations of cyanocobalamin have been reached in 1 to 2 hours.

  • Guidelines on Food Fortification with Micronutrients
    GUIDELINES ON FOOD FORTIFICATION FORTIFICATION FOOD ON GUIDELINES Interest in micronutrient malnutrition has increased greatly over the last few MICRONUTRIENTS WITH years. One of the main reasons is the realization that micronutrient malnutrition contributes substantially to the global burden of disease. Furthermore, although micronutrient malnutrition is more frequent and severe in the developing world and among disadvantaged populations, it also represents a public health problem in some industrialized countries. Measures to correct micronutrient deficiencies aim at ensuring consumption of a balanced diet that is adequate in every nutrient. Unfortunately, this is far from being achieved everywhere since it requires universal access to adequate food and appropriate dietary habits. Food fortification has the dual advantage of being able to deliver nutrients to large segments of the population without requiring radical changes in food consumption patterns. Drawing on several recent high quality publications and programme experience on the subject, information on food fortification has been critically analysed and then translated into scientifically sound guidelines for application in the field. The main purpose of these guidelines is to assist countries in the design and implementation of appropriate food fortification programmes. They are intended to be a resource for governments and agencies that are currently implementing or considering food fortification, and a source of information for scientists, technologists and the food industry. The guidelines are written from a nutrition and public health perspective, to provide practical guidance on how food fortification should be implemented, monitored and evaluated. They are primarily intended for nutrition-related public health programme managers, but should also be useful to all those working to control micronutrient malnutrition, including the food industry.

  • Vitamin and Mineral Safety 3Rd Edition (2013) Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN)
    EXCERPTED FROM: Vitamin and Mineral Safety 3rd Edition (2013) Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) www.crnusa.org Vitamin B12 Introduction Vitamin B12 helps maintain the body’s nervous system and blood cells and supports the production of DNA. Vitamin B12 also helps prevents a type of anemia and has been termed the “anti-pernicious anemia dietary factor.” Vitamin B12 is also the only known physiologically important compound that contains cobalt, and therefore the various forms of vitamin B12 are known collectively as cobalamins. Vitamin B12 is a cofactor in two enzymes that are fundamental in facilitating growth in humans. In the methylcobalamin form, vitamin B12 is the direct cofactor for methionine synthetase, the enzyme that recycles homocysteine back to methionine. Here, vitamin B12 and folic acid have closely related roles in one-carbon metabolism. In the adenosylcobalamin form, vitamin B12 is the cofactor in methylmalonyl-coenzyme A mutase. Both reactions are involved in promoting the rapid growth and proliferation of bone marrow cells and ultimately red blood cells (Expert Group on Vitamins and Minerals [EVM] 2003). Vitamin B12 is essential for the function and maintenance of the central nervous system, and severe deficiency in persons with pernicious anemia produces the neurological disease of posterolateral spinal cord degeneration (Herbert and Das 1994). The direct cause of pernicious anemia, in fact, is vitamin B12 deficiency, but the underlying defect is the absence of an intrinsic factor produced by specific stomach cells and needed for intestinal absorption of vitamin B12. Without this intrinsic factor, absorption is greatly reduced or fails, and a severe and persistent deficiency develops that is not preventable by the usual dietary levels of vitamin B12.

Tomsk Publishing House of Tomsk State University 2018 2 Essential trace elements in human health UDK 612:577.1 LBC 52.57 S66 Skalnaya Margarita G., Skalny Anatoly V. S66 Essential trace elements in human health: a physician's view. – Tomsk : Publishing House of Tomsk State University, 2018. – 224 p. ISBN 978-5-94621-683-8 Disturbances in trace element homeostasis may result in the development of pathologic states and diseases. The most characteristic patterns of a modern human being are deficiency of essential and excess of toxic trace elements. Such a deficiency frequently occurs due to insufficient trace element content in diets or increased requirements of an organism. All these changes of trace element homeostasis form an individual trace element portrait of a person. Consequently, impaired balance of every trace element should be analyzed in the view of other patterns of trace element portrait. Only personalized approach to diagnosis can meet these requirements and result in successful treatment. Effective management and timely diagnosis of trace element deficiency and toxicity may occur only in the case of adequate assessment of trace element status of every individual based on recent data on trace element metabolism. Therefore, the most recent basic data on participation of essential trace elements in physiological processes, metabolism, routes and volumes of entering to the body, relation to various diseases, medical applications with a special focus on iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), iodine (I), cobalt (Co), chromium, and molybdenum (Mo) are reviewed.

Received: 3 November 2009; in revised form: 3 December 2009 / Accepted: 8 December 2009 / Published: 9 December 2009 Abstract: Coconut water (coconut liquid endosperm), with its many applications, is one of the world’s most versatile natural product. This refreshing beverage is consumed worldwide as it is nutritious and beneficial for health. There is increasing scientific evidence that supports the role of coconut water in health and medicinal applications. Coconut water is traditionally used as a growth supplement in plant tissue culture/micropropagation. The wide applications of coconut water can be justified by its unique chemical composition of sugars, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and phytohormones. This review attempts to summarise and evaluate the chemical composition and biological properties of coconut water. Keywords: coconut water; phytohormone; auxin; cytokinin; gibberellin; inorganic ion; vitamin 1. Introduction The coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is an important fruit tree in the tropical regions and the fruit can be made into a variety of foods and beverages (Figure 1). The edible part of the coconut fruit (coconut meat and coconut water) is the endosperm tissue.

  • Vitamin B6, Folate, Vitamin B12, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, and Choline 9 Vitamin B12
    Dietary Reference Intakes for Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Vitamin B12, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, and Choline http://www.nap.edu/catalog/6015.html 9 Vitamin B12 SUMMARY Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) functions as a coenzyme for a critical methyl transfer reaction that converts homocysteine to methionine and for a separate reaction that converts L-methylmalonyl- coenzyme A (CoA) to succinyl-CoA. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin B12 is based on the amount needed for the maintenance of hematological status and normal serum vitamin B12 values. An assumed absorption of 50 percent is in- cluded in the recommended intake. The RDA for adults is 2.4 µg/ day of vitamin B12. Because 10 to 30 percent of older people may be unable to absorb naturally occurring vitamin B12, it is advisable for those older than 50 years to meet their RDA mainly by consum- ing foods fortified with vitamin B12 or a vitamin B12-containing supplement. Individuals with vitamin B12 deficiency caused by a lack of intrinsic factor require medical treatment. The median intake of vitamin B12 from food in the United States was estimated to be approximately 5 µg/day for men and 3.5 µg/day for women. The ninety-fifth percentile of vitamin B12 intake from both food and supplements was approximately 27 µg/day. In one Canadian province the mean dietary intake was estimated to be approxi- mately 7 µg/day for men and 4 µg/day for women. There is not sufficient scientific evidence to set a Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for vitamin B12 at this time.
