TriVita’s Sublingual B12, B-6 & Folic Acid – The Best Way to Fight Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia

“At least 3.4 million Americans have been diagnosed as anemic, and millions more may be undiagnosed or at increased risk of developing anemia.”
National Anemia Action Council

What exactly is anemia?

Anemia is a condition in which your blood is low on healthy red blood cells. Without enough healthy red blood cells in circulation, your body can’t get the oxygen it needs so you end up with symptoms like:

• Weakness • Fatigue
• Lightheadedness • Pale skin
• Decreased appetite • Weight loss
• Abdominal pain • Diarrhea
• Tingling and numbness in the hands and feet

What causes vitamin B 12 deficiency anemia?

B12 deficiency anemia (Megaloblastic anemia) has a variety of causes:

  • Pernicious anemia, an autoimmune disease that interferes with your stomach’s ability to produce intrinsic factor, which must bind with vitamin B-12 until it can be absorbed in the small intestine
  • Gastrectomy, gastric bypass surgery, or removal of the last portion of the small intestine where B 12 is absorbed
  • Digestive disorders such as bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine or parasitic infections
  • A dietary lack of meat, eggs, or dairy products—the primary sources for vitamin B12
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Pancreatic disorders

Why is B12 so important?

B-12 is vitally necessary for the proper formation of red blood cells. Blood consists of a liquid called plasma and three types of blood cells:

White blood cells that help fight infections

Platelets that help your blood clot after a cut

Red blood cells that carry oxygen from your lungs to your brain and other organs and tissues.
Your body must have oxygenated blood to function—it gives your body its energy.

All three types of blood cells are produced by regular cell division in your bone marrow—a red, spongy material located within the cavities of many of your large bones.

If your original cells have an inadequate supply of vitamin B-12, your new red blood cells will be abnormally large and your white blood cells will have abnormal nuclei. Both will be destroyed more rapidly in the bone marrow and fewer will make it into your bloodstream, robbing your body of the oxygen it needs to function properly. Large, dense, oversized, red blood cells (RBCs) are seen in vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia.

Vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia develops gradually, allowing the body to adapt so that the anemia may be more severe than the symptoms indicate. Left untreated, serious problems can occur in prolonged and severe anemia. Anemia can lead to secondary organ dysfunction or damage, including heart arrhythmia and congestive heart failure.

How is vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia diagnosed and treated?

Many types of anemia exist, each with its own cause—the cause may be an iron or vitamin deficiency, blood loss, a chronic illness, or a genetic or acquired defect or disease. It may also be a side effect of a medication, so it’s important that you work with your health care provider to confirm that you have anemia, what type of anemia it is, how severe it is, and how to properly treat it.

Doctors diagnose vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia through blood tests that measure the level and appearance of red blood cells. In vitamin deficiency anemia, you’ll not only have fewer red blood cells, but the red blood cells that you do have will be large and underdeveloped. In advanced deficiencies, white blood cells and platelets also look abnormal under a microscope.

Vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia can often be successfully treated with supplements. However, in many cases, the anemia will reoccur if vitamin B-12 supplementation is stopped. Anemia is a condition that can have serious consequences if left untreated—but it is also a condition that can be readily managed by current therapies.

What’s the best way to get the B-12 you need?

If your doctor has diagnosed you or you think you may be at risk for a vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia, you need the safest, freshest, and most effective B-12 supplement available on the market today.

In the past, B-12 options have been limited to highly ineffective oral tablets or painful and expensive injections. Today, you can choose Dr. Libby’s original, patented Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid.

The key is the TriVita sublingual delivery method—which simply means that you put a great tasting, quick dissolving tablet under your tongue where it can speed the vitamins directly into your system. Once there, they can quickly go to work fighting the potentially devastating effects of anemia.

Want More Energy?

You may be missing this important and simple solution.

We’ve all heard it—get plenty of rest, exercise regularly, eat healthy, and you’ll have energy to burn. True? False! In fact, many adults who live healthy lifestyles are still frustrated by the lack of energy they feel. That’s because many adults are missing an important but simple solution to having more energy—vitamin B12.

This simple vitamin, common to everyday foods and multivitamins, is crucial to ENERGY. BUT, the question you must ask yourself is:

“Is my body getting the B12 it needs for energy?”

Medical science has answered this question. And the experts agree that as you get older, your ability to absorb B 12 through digestion continually decreases. In fact, many adults are unable to absorb B12 into their body at all! Even more, a depletion of vitamin B 12 can be detrimental to your health. Why? Because B-12 plays a key role in the production of chemicals that help regulate sleep, mood, appetite, and ENERGY!

Renowned doctors, Paul Cheney and Charles Lapp, conducted an important study with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients. They gave these patients high doses of B12 injections. The B12 shots dramatically increased ENERGY in 80% of the participants and helped them sleep better. Now, doctors everywhere are administering B12 shots to help their patients have more ENERGY. Yet, the shots are often painful and expensive. So is there another way? A simple, affordable, and less painful way? Yes.

Here is the important, simple solution to get the B12 you need. In 1984, a patent was awarded to Dr. Alfred Libby, M.D. for his formulation of Sublingual B-12. Dr. Libby also added B-6 and folic acid to enhance the medical benefits of the Sublingual B-12. This original Sublingual B-12 melts under your tongue and speeds the essential B nutrients directly into your bloodstream where they immediately begin to help your body. Dr. Libby’s original, patented Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid gives you an affordable, easy, and painless solution for taking B12, B6 including folic acid every day.
