This document provides information on vitamin B12 supplementation. It lists several credible scientific journals and websites that discuss vitamin B12 and its effects. It recommends taking a methylcobalamin B12 spray as the most absorbable form, at a dose of 1000 mcg per day. It advises getting tested for B12 deficiency first and consulting a physician to determine if supplementation is needed. The document warns that B12 deficiency can cause neurological issues if left untreated for a long period of time.

4. Implementation
I advise to take a B-12 spray in Methylcobalamin
form since its the best absorbable form of B-12.
Many experts recommend ~2.3 MCG daily while this
may be too low. Dr. Mercolas B-12 spray gives
1,000 mcg in a 6-spray dose!
As always, I advise to get tested first to determine if
deficiency is present, then seek out a local physician
who can accurately assess whether a supplement is
the best call to action. All humans are different based
on lifestyle factors, biological/genetic uniqueness,
and chronic health conditions resulting from our past
choices.
5. Road-blocks
Roadblocks are people, places, and things which get in the
way of a desirable goal and cause stagnation to occur. In other
words, what is your #1 greatest limiting factor to your health
& fitness success? B-12 has shown to cause issues with
myelin sheath and produce neurological disorders that affect
brain function. It also can contribute to sleep deprivation.
How are you sleeping?
B-12 has shown to cause serious, life threatening neural
problems if B-12 deficiency goes untreated for an extended
period. B-12 can be silent. This is why its paramount to have
a thorough nutritional assessment and have blood work done
with an analysis. I preach body, mind, emotional, and spiritual
awareness because lack of awareness of a need not being met
in any area means we are not performing at our highest God-
given potential! Whether Vegan or Paleo, we all are at risk
and need to be checked. What we dont know, can hurt us.
