Sharing Dr Berg notes on this important episode! Methylcobalamin is vitamin B12, and it’s essential for DNA, red blood cells, and your myelin sheath. Vitamin B12 also helps support your spinal column and brain. If you’re deficient in vitamin B12, you could experience tingling, numbness, or burning sensations. Other signs of vitamin B12 deficiency can include: • Chronic pain • Depression • Muscle wasting • Blurry vision • Tinnitus • Anemia • Mouth ulcers • Sore throat • Hair loss You could also experience symptoms if you have too much vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 toxicity will typically occur if you’re taking too much synthetic vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)-not the natural version (methylcobalamin). Cyanocobalamin can build up in the body and cause symptoms such as: • Acne • Palpitations • Anxiety • Red cheeks • Headaches • Insomnia • Akathisia • Suicidal thoughts You could be deficient in vitamin B12 long before you start to feel any effects. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t damage being done. One of the first symptoms you would eventually feel is extreme fatigue. Foods high in vitamin B12 are animal products. There is no vitamin B12 in plants. Top causes of vitamin B12 deficiency: • Malabsorption • Plant-based or vegan diets • Gastric bypass • Atrophy of the stomach • Gastritis • H. pylori infection • Ulcers • Inflammation in the intestines • Aspirin • Alcohol • Junk foods • Antibiotics • Antacids or PPIs • Birth control pills • Pregnancy • Lactation • Smoking • Polymorphism Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿

Dr Berg, I just put "keto" into the search bar and started counting. An older video of yours cane up at #34, but it was the only one in the first 100. I quit counting at 100. What can we as followers do to let KZfaq know how unhappy we are with their manipulation?

I was shopping for liquid vitamin B12 online when I realized that there were two types available: cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin. The former had about 21,380 ratings as opposed to the latter with 10,800 ratings. I had my mind made up to buy the most popular one of course, but decided to watch one of Dr. Berg's video on vitamins B12. Wouldn't you know it, my original choice was NOT the right one! Who would have thought? This was very useful information at the right time. Thank you so much, Dr. Berg, ♥

Dr Berg please - we HIGHLY need a comprehensive video in which you cover MTHFR mutations and your advice how to fix the methylate cycle if you have it. This is such a common mutation affecting over 50% of population, that doesn't even know. I have it too, like many others, would be SO great if you could please make a video on this and on how to fix it, and which vitamins/supplements to take and which to avoid. You never covered this I think as standalone topic, but would be so helpful. Thanks!

I also feel more energy with B12. ❤ Happy Thanksgiving, Dr. Berg & community. I'm 10 pounds from my goal weight! I couldn't have done it without you.❤

Could listen to this man all day.His voice is very listenable. HAPPY THANKSGIVING ❤

I had all these symptoms most of my life. Thanks for your videos you have saved my life!

I was dx B12 deficient a decade ago. Goes along with malabsorption syndrome. Coincidentally daily PPI for 15 years. I’ve been injecting synthetic B12 every 15 days for that whole time. The past 8-10 months I’ve been “dying”. Constant muscle pain, extreme neuropathy, falls from lack of balance, couldn’t even step into my F150 truck today. Tried. Fell in parking lot. I’m so over this life. Tomorrow I see my dr. Heart 2 Heart time. Time to switch to methyl. 3 X week…I thank everyone who posted vids about this!! Also: MRI for left sided migraines, IBS, bloating, dx with demyelinating disease, suspected MS. All adds up to severe B12 deficiency.

All the issues are gone since I started B12 ( Methylcobalamin ) ❤

Great timing. I was just researching B12 last night. Thanks Doc

@ Dr. Berg You are tops in explaining in simple easy terms that just about anyone can understand and put to immediate use. Thank You so very much for all the free knowledge you so generously pass on to those of us searching for better health by being in the know to what is being done right and eliminating what is unknowingly being done wrong. As ever, always spot on, eye opening and connecting the dots needed and useful information to the missing bits not previously put together to get a better view of the overall health picture being searched for a very long time and getting closer and closer to "got it (" it" being sorely needed missing bits that tie what is known together for better overall health)" finally! Again, a very sincere Thank You!

Good morning, Dr.Berg another great and educational video as usual. Thank you very much for sharing it 🙏🥰 🇨🇦

I love your content, but I have to say the change to your studio and sound is exceptional! I love it!

This is so timely 👏 I got to share this with a friend who is having this challenge at the moment. Thanks Doctor Berg for you are a life saver, a huge gift to humanity. ❤❤❤ God bless you sir for always being there for us 👍 🙏 appreciate

Dr. Berg You are tops in explaining in simple easy terms that just about anyone can understand and put to immediate use.

As a heavy drinker for about four decades I can confirm I have had this issue more times than I can remember.

Up until the end of last summer I had peripheral neuropathy, had it for about three years. Took Dr Bergs advice and bought online methylcobalamin, six months later, the problems were much reduced, and now are practically non-existent. I had problems washing pans and cuttelry, tying laces in boots, even wearing fingerless gloves, then had problems with the bottom of my feet - all gone - thanks Dr Berg.

Some of the most nutritious foods you can eat are oily fish, eggs, avocados, potatoes, and green leafy vegetables. However, no food provides all the nutrients we need, so it's essential to have a varied diet that includes plenty of fresh ingredients and is as little processed as possible See potatoes are healthy!

Once again mind blown by your knowledge 🤯

Thank you so much for your help and advice, I really appreciate your job. I wish you happiness and peace under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time

5:17 🤣 she was too happy eating that cup cake! 😂🤣😂🤣

This is so well explained. You and your team are providing one heck of a service for humanity these days…and it only seems to be getting better and better.

I have slipped disc L4 L5 S1 and need to take methylcobal to help with nerve damage.. Great sharing Dr.

Thank you Dr. Berg for this video. I just wanted to let you know that I see your older vides as well as the newest ones today pop up in my feed almost every day. I am subscribed and that may have something to do with it. It seems that subscribers can easily find your videos but it's the new people who may not have found you yet that are most affected.

I lost my stomach to Cancer. Without a stomach I cannot convert protein into B vitamins. No doctor told me this fact which lead me to feel like my "batteries", energy level was down to 20%. I keep looking for ways to supplement absorption of required minerals, vitamins, liquids without a stomach. More and more people are losing their stomach because of the poisons that are in the foods and drinks that we consume. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT - READ INGREDIENTS - YOUR HEALTH/LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

I am so blessed to have found you, Dr Berg. I trust your life studies and passion to share your knowledge with others. 💕✨🙏

Hey it was several years ago I ran into this problem. Would like to briefly relay my story if it helps anyone. I almost died from this issue and was reluctant to seek medical but glad I did. It's hard to say if I have the genetic resistance or just bad habits with nutrition but I have made big improvement overall. Btw I'm a white male of German heritage, and in my 40's. No drugs or smoking btw. When it got bad I was under alot of stress and had the blood anemia problem. Very low blood oxygen, weak as hell cause of that and started to show jaundice appearance. the cure was blood transfusion to clean up my blood, then a week of better diet rich in protein. As well as many doses of B12 injections spread out over a couple months. in basic terms the b12 and the protein need to work together to get the best results for your body. If you only have one or the other you will not get any results and that created bad malnourished stuff on my end. Was rough, and I still struggle at times, I have to force myself to eat even if I'm not hungry...

God bless you Because of you I feel a lot better May father god Protect you ❤

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone 😊

Beef Liver is PACKED full of nutrients, especially B12, I suggest people eat small amounts of this once or twice a week, you'd never need a multivitamin.

Undiagnosed Celiac disease, inflammation in the gut, can cause vitamin b12 deficiency, and deficiency of nutrients in general.

I'm so glad this suggested video came up in my feed. Excellent info that I need.

Dr. Berg, YOU ARE one of THE MOST valuable "resources" of TRUE HEALTH & HEALING advice available to people around the world, AND, you are GREATLY APPRECIATED and supported by those who loyally follow your IRREFUTABLY CREDIBLE, WELL-DOCUMENTED ACCURATE "natural" (non-synthetic-derived) information. 👍👍👍😉😎

I used to take high-dose Cynanocobalamin but it always made me feel tired soon after taking it. I changed onto a mix of 2:1 ratio Methylcobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin and it's a huge change. Full of energy all week but not wired, and that's taking only one per week (40,000% RDA).

I'm 24 weeks and when I started hearing about the possible effects of synthetic folates, I immediately hit the breaks and started being more conscious

Hi Dr. Berg how many microgram of B12 should a 61 year old take?

Dr. Berg you are such an important person to so many of us❤

Thank you so much Doctor Berg .Vitamin is the important topic ,everyone need to know and how to use them appropriately. I am grateful your explanation and education for that.❤.Have a happy Thanks Giving dr Berg

Half pound of ground beef provides over 200% of daily Vitamin B12 and also 60g of protein for average 150 lbs person, no need for supplements!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Dr berg thank you 😊 so much for the videos

Thanks dr berg. For your education i now take methylcobalamin because i was deficient now the pins and needles feeling is gone

My last blood test showed my vitamin B12 was over 6,000. A decade ago dx with deffecentcy . Then too, I have MTHFR. I have not been taking my L methylfolate. Watching this a light bulb came on! And trouble with depression and anxiety and ADHD symptoms have increased. And allergy to gluten. I'm thinking if I start my L methylfolate again i just might feel human!🎉 Thank you, Dr. BERG!!!❤

Vegan since 2018. First sign of B12 deficiency for me is deep vertical ridges on my fingernails. I also noticed the lil half-moons on each fingernail is missing. A month ago, I stated taking a B12 tab every morning and now my fingernails are slowly becoming flat again.

Thank you for all you do Dr. Berg!!! I have learned so much from you.

Dr. Berg, you forgot to mention Chemotherapy. It often diminishes the amounts of B Vitamins, especially B12 and Folate, which will trigger neuropathy for chemo patients.

Thank you so much Doctor Berg for your wonderful lecture ❤🙏🙏👍

Thank you Dr Berg... You have been unraveling the complexities that affects health bcz of the deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, micronutirents, protines etc etc and also the causes while highliting the best health practices that should be incorporated in daily rotines... The most significant part of your Utubes is the things that is normally excluded by a general health practioner and thus leaving the patients uninformed about the inticasies of the treatment being followed.. your U tubes provide such a detailed information that should not only educate a person suffering from ailments but also deals with the pathways the nutirents undergoes once ingested and thus provides a therotical update the medical science students need to know.. A great service to the mankind.

Very informative video Dr Berg... Thank you for posting... God bless!!! ❤

But how much

HAPPY THANKSGIVING @Dr. Eric Berg DC thank you for this information every bit of your information has helped save my life for a more secure future 🤜🤛

I have ms, and been taking my B vitamins because of 👉you explaining the symptoms and how and when to. Thank you, Dr. Berg

Happy Thanksgiving! So thankful for you!

I get vitamin B12 cyanacabalamone 1000 mcg injections monthly since 1996 following a bowel resection. This keeps my B12 level normal. It used to be weekly at the beginning.

Also what's the dosage we should take ?

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Dr. Berg!

Hey Dr. Berg! I am a bit confused as to how long it takes the body to go into autophagy from fasting. When researching studies online they usually say it takes 1-3 days for the body to enter autophagy. I know this has a lot do with how fast one’s metabolism is, but is there any evidence that 18 hours is enough to enter autophagy? Intuitively it sounds right, I’m just wondering why this hasn’t been studied on humans more considering autophagy and fasting are the number one most powerful healing tools. When I fast for 2 days I feel like super woman and I have so much energy, focus and my spiritual connection is super heightened. 18 hour fasts are great as well and I’m trying to do intermittent fasting daily now. I love your videos, I’m trying to watch all of them because you make everything so simple and easy to understand. 😊👌 Much love!

Happy Thanksgiving Dr Berg and to everyone who reads this ❤

I have Pernicious Anemia and MTHFR. Both affect B12. I find methyl groups convert to fast so Hydroxocobalmin works best.

@Dr Berg Why don't you explain hydroxocobalamin? It divides into methylcobalmin and adenosylcobalamin . Adenosoylcobalmin is also essential to the brain and body Would you explain this ? Only the US uses cyanocobalamin for b12 deficiency- Britain uses hydroxocobalamin for b12 deficiency

Thank you for the great recipes on your website Dr. Berg ... I didn't realize there was keto friendly bread.

Thank you Dr. Berg. ❤️🙏

Thank you 😊 soooo very much Dr Berg for this wonderful information. We all need this information 😊❤❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I have all those symptoms plus osteoarthritis and sciata with painful backbone. Mental fog or confusion and firgetting most times, unstable in walking, poor judgement of distancebor depth. Where do I need to start. Am 67 y/o.

❤🙏 Thanks alot dr Berg. Great explanation and excellent advice always ❤

Lots of b12 and Folate for us about to deal with the jelly donut addicted "friends" & loved ones who want us to fall off today. ⚠️ Stay healthy, yall!

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody this morning🦃 I should get some good B12 out of my turkey later. Thanks for this video today doctor Berg

Good morning! Happy Thanksgiving and thank you!

Thank you Dr Berg for this educational video god bless you.

Thank you, Dr Berg! You are a godsend. What a great man. Forever grateful.

Thank you for everything🌟 Happy Thanksgiving Day💫

Have never taken any B12 supplements. Slim, fit and excellent health and recent blood tests showed very high levels of B12 (888 pg/ml) This level was above recommended max of 771 pg/ml. Doctor asked if I took supplements or ate a lot of meat. But also said high levels, especially from meat are not harmful.

Happy Thanksgiving Dr. Berg 🦃

How many Mcg of methyl b12 it’s better to take in a daily basis? Thank you so much for your magnificent work. 🙏💫 greetings from Mexico City.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Doc 🤗

I love your content! Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil!

Great information. Thank you Dear Dr. Berg.

Thanks dr berg ❤❤❤❤ happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving & God Bless! 🙏 😊

Happy Thanksgiving. Another great video. Thank you Dr. Berg 🙏

Happy Thanksgiving!

One of the biggest contributors to b12 deficiency is amalgam toxicity which is body weight ratio dependant...and destroying gut biome. 4mths after a dentist put a humungous filling in mouth I had sciatica for seven years.. and pernicious anaemia..until 4mths after it was removed..in the meantime I had crippling pains head to toe like a vice, psoriasis and severe clinical depression I didn't think I would wake up in the morning on so many occasions it was frightening...all the while batting back doctors whose only advice was repeat belittling condemnation for not taking their horrid antidepressants. I eventually self diagnosed..and added it up..and survived the health system..and have learnt to much since..and continue to explore the interconnectness of symptoms. Thank you Dr Berg.

Dr.Berg ❤😊 Can you make a video on B12 levels and Homocysteine in the body What much is your level? You should have when you are in sixties

Thank you Dr Berg. Happy Thanksgiving!

Dr Berg! Huge fan since 2014! Love you and your products. Would love to see you come out with a methylation support vitamin for adults and kids ! Specific for those with the MTHFR gene . Dr Amy Myers has one but the dosages are different than what you had recommended in a prior video so would love your thoughts !

6:35 Samuel L. Jackson approves of that name.

My mom was suffering from akhatisia because of the use of alprazolam, the element that was prescribing it was only increasing the dosage because she was not getting calm.

I have insomnia from methylcobalamin, when I take cyanocobalamin I sleep better

Amazing episode! Thank you!

Really good health information

I switched to this type of B12. It has helped me so much. Thank you❤

Most multivitamins have Cyanocobalamin, so be sure to read labels.

don't you get rid of excess b12 with urine ?

What happens if you have high B12 (1400 range) and all RBC and WBC are all normal?

I have pernicious anaemia and I have no intrinsic factor in my stomach so I have to get injections every ten to twelve weeks

Blessed Thanksgiving Are multiple cysts on the thyroid possibly related to a B 12 deficiency? Thank you for all of your care to keep us aware of our health needs.

It's the numbness that is the key symptom pins and needles with numbness
