What It Can Do For You Overtime

As you’ve already read, B12 can help with increasing red blood cells and energy production, but what else can it do for you over time? Well, taking this vitamin can help with supporting healthy hair, skin and nails.

It helps fix B12 deficiency symptoms that may show on a person’s skin or on their nails. B12 can also help improve heart health over time by helping decrease your homocysteine levels, which if too high can lead you to the risk of heart disease. 

These vitamins can help with memory performance too. It may improve memory and may assist with preventing the loss of brain atrophy (loss of neurons in the brain), which is prominent in older adults.

This is what can cause dementia. Not only do B12 vitamins help prevent what age can do to your brain, but it also helps combat symptoms of depression. It can metabolize serotonin, which is the chemical that is accountable for regulating moods. 

Other Supplements You Need To Know About For Healthy Aging

B12 is a great vitamin to take when wanting to take better care of your body and give it the assistance that it needs but there are others that can be just as helpful as well. In fact, some of these supplements may even help the B12 vitamin work better.

Other supplements are omega-3 fatty acids (which are great for helping with inflammation), collagen (which helps with skin elasticity and hydration), and vitamin D (which is very important and one of the leading causes of depression, immune dysfunction and fatigue if you’re not consuming enough of it).

Those were only to name a few supplements but the key to healthy aging is to do it all. Incorporate supplements into your daily routine, eat healthy, exercise and do what makes you happy. You only get one life so enjoy it as much as you can, but make sure to feel and look good while you do.
