Vitamin B12 is more than just another nutrient. It’s a key player in maintaining our health and well-being. Recent studies have highlighted its pivotal role in managing inflammation, a root cause of many chronic diseases.
Recent findings published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture have uncovered a significant correlation between vitamin B12 deficiency and chronic inflammation. This inflammation can pave the way for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and even certain brain disorders.
Study Insights: B12 Deficiency and Inflammation
While earlier studies highlighted Vitamin B12’s role in combating inflammation, Spanish researchers have now provided deeper insights. They focused on how vitamin B12 interacts with inflammation indicators, specifically proteins such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), both of which rise during inflammatory responses.
