The body needs access to vitamin B12 to produce red blood cells. A lack of this vitamin can lead to anaemia.Folic acid deficiency can cause anemia. Anemia is a condition where you have too few RBCs. Anemia can deprive your tissues of oxygen it needs, because red blood cells carry the oxygen. Symptoms of a deficiency depends on what type of vitamin B you lack. They can range from fatigue and confusion, to anemia or a compromised immune system. Skin rashes also can occur.
It seems that everywhere you turn, people are talking about taking vitamin B12 supplements. Medical professionals are now suggesting that most people would benefit from taking some form of supplemental vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 supplements are available in many forms, including injections, liquid vitamin B12, sublingual B12, or B12 capsules. What are some symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency? What is the correct dosage for vitamin B12 injection?

Vitamin B12 is such an important part of our diet, so many people lack in B12 and it is seriously impacting on our health. Beware of any symptoms that you may have and go to your medical practitioner if concerned.
Addiction to alcohol, nicotine, opiates, or other substances often takes its toll on the body in many ways. Some of the negative consequences of addiction to health include malnutrition and weakened immune systems, which increase one's risk of developing disease. Therefore, aside from focusing on withdrawing from one's addiction to chemical substances, one must also pay attention to improving one's nutrition on the road to full recovery of health.
Vitamin B12 is also called cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin with a key role in the normal functioning of brain and nervous system and the formation of blood. It is one of eight B vitamins.
All ruminants (including sheep, cattle and goats) require cobalt in their diet for the synthesis of vitamin B12.
Vitamins can be consumed in a variety of ways. Most common vitamins are acquired through the foods we eat! Here we are presenting Health Benefits of Vitamins and it's source.
Raising D Level; Spreading the knowledge of the benefits, and necessity of vitamin D to our health and
well-being.
While raising the awareness of the dangers of its deficiency, the subtleness of its symptoms, and the danger of them becoming chronic and irreversible
Six patients with pernicious anemia were given daily inhalation as smoking vitamins can help in a rapid rise in its level. The therapy worked in complete clinical and hematological remission of vitamin B12.
Before settling for the hype, you need to know what vitamin B12 is and what its role is in our body. Here we discuss if you are falling off the optimal levels and what to do if you are.

OptiFer® tablets are based on natural bovine heme iron and will safely and efficiently keep iron counts at an optimal level
A deficiência de ferro é o problema de saúde relacionado à dieta mais comum no mundo e os efeitos sobre a saúde humana se manifestam num largo espectro. A importância do ferro heme na dieta não pode ser subestimada. "A deficiência de ferro se manifesta como anemia em até 2 bilhões de pessoas, prejudica o desenvolvimento físico e mental em crianças e pode exacerbar muitos outros problemas de saúde.", segundo relato da Joint World Health Organization Centers for Disease Control, organização voltada ao controle de doenças.
OptiFer® vantagens em nível internacionalMichael Collan
- A Série OptiFer® de Ferro-Heme Natural não tem efeitos colaterais reportados. Em todos os estudos clínicos realizados até agora o ferro-heme se mostra perfeito no quesito tolerância
- A Série OptiFer® apresenta a formulação mais eficiente disponível: o ferro-heme é várias vezes mais absorvido do que o seu equivalente em ferro sintético. A proporção é de 20-40% para ferro-heme em diferentes estudos em comparação com 1-4% ou menos de ferro sintético, que geralmente tem uma absorção inferior a 1%.
A suplementação com ácido fólico, com e sem outras vitaminas B, reduzem os níveis de homocisteína no sangue (um fator de risco cardiovascular).
OptiFer® B é um novo comprimido que contém o extremamente bem tolerado e eficiente ferro heme. Ele também contém vitaminas B 6, B 12 e ácido fólico.
OptiFer® B é projetado especialmente para ajudar a formação do
sangue quando necessário em situações diferentes.
The OptiFer® series of heme iron supplements solve many problems inherent to iron therapy. MediTec FerroCare Division offers information on www.optifer.international and www.hemeiron.com as well as for instance the eBook “Heme Iron”. All OptiFer® products contain original heme iron.
Com uma dosagem de um ou dois comprimidos, uma vez por dia, a terapia com ferro heme é econômica em comparação com as alternativas.
A dosagem permanecerá a mesma até mesmo no caso de terapias mais longas.
With a dosage of one or two tablets once
per day heme iron therapy is economical compared to the alternatives. Dosage will stay the same even over
longer therapy. There are considerably less potentially
therapy-ruining side-effects.
For MediTec it is more important to help as many iron deficiency sufferers worldwide as possible than optimising product calculus.

A insuficiência cardíaca é uma doença muito comum, com morbidade e mortalidade severa, e é um motivo freqüente de internação.
A anemia e uma insuficiência renal concomitante são dois principais fatores de risco que contribuem para a gravidade do caso
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a gradual and usually permanent loss of kidney function over time. This happens gradually over time, usually months to years. Anemia develops when the kidneys fail to produce enough erythropoietin, EPO, the hormone that directs the bones to make red blood cells.
A doença renal crônica (DRC) é uma perda gradual e geralmente permanente da função renal ao longo do tempo. A anemia se desenvolve quando os rins não conseguem produzir suficiente eritropoietina, EPO, o hormônio que comanda a produção de glóbulos vermelhos pelos ossos.
Chronic heart disease and Anaemia. Heart failure is a very common disease, with severe morbidity and mortality, and is a frequent reason of hospitalization.
Anemia and a concurrent renal impairment are two major risk factors contributing to the severity of the outcome.
Heme iron is absorbed through a separate pathway and does not have to be discontinued when intravenous treatment is started. This can allow for longer intervals between resource-heavy, inconvenient and painful injections. Oxidative stress is also avoided.
Heme iron does not need to be discontinued during injection or EPO therapy like non-heme oral iron.
A ingestão diária deve ser de pelo menos 18 mg de ferro para compensar a menstruação e outras perdas.
Um comprimido OptiFer® contém 18 mg de ferro.
Não há risco de sobredosagem com ferro heme.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) helps the body turn food into energy. It
can also help the body fight infections. Pregnant and
breastfeeding women need it to help their babies’ brains
develop normally.
B6 can be found in fish, poultry, liver, potatoes, and non-citrus
fruit.
Insufficient amounts of B6 can result in anemia as well as skin
disorders, such as a rash or cracks around the mouth. A lack of
B6 also can cause depression, confusion, or a susceptibility to
infections.
3. Vitamin B6
c
Vitamin B6 supplements are effective for preventing and treating
deficiency and nerve inflammation caused by low intake, certain
diseases, or some drugs.
Vitamin B6 is also called pyridoxine. It is involved in the process
of making serotonin and norepinephrine, which are chemicals
that transmit signals in the brain.
Vitamin B6 is also involved in the formation of myelin, a protein
layer that forms around nerve cells
4. Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 deficiency in adults may cause health problems
affecting the nerves, skin, mucous membranes, and circulatory
system.
In children, the central nervous system is also affected.
High blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine may be a risk
factor for heart disease.
Taking vitamin B6 supplements with other B vitamins (folic acid
and vitamin B12) has been shown to be effective for lowering
homocysteine levels.
5. Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 helps regulate the nervous system.
It also plays a role in growth and red blood cell formation, for the
heart, the hair, metabolism of the cells and the formation of
proteins and DNA as well as the production of signal substances
such as dopamin and serotonin.
6. Vitamin B12
Vitamin B 12 is found primarily in meat and dairy products, so
strict vegetarians are at risk for a deficiency.
Vitamin B 12 deficiencies can lead to anemia and confusion in
elderly people.
People with B 12 deficiencies often report tingling in their feet
and hands.
7. Vitamin B12
c
B 12 deficiency is written about in many medical textbooks and
its causes and effects are well-established in the scientific
literature.
B 12 deficiency is often missed for two reasons. First, it’s not
routinely tested by most physicians. Second, the low end of the
laboratory reference range is too low.
8. Vitamin B12
c
Vitamin B 12 works together with folate in the synthesis of DNA
and red blood cells. It’s also involved in the production of the
myelin sheath around the nerves, and the conduction of nerve
impulses.
B 12 is the only vitamin that contains a trace element (cobalt),
which is why it’s called cobalamin. Cobalamin is produced in the
gut of animals.
It’s the only vitamin we can’t obtain from plants or sunlight.
Plants don’t need B12 so they don’t store it.
9. Vitamin B12
c
A common myth amongst vegetarians and vegans is that it’s
possible to get B 12 from plant sources like seaweed, fermented
soy, spirulina and brewers yeast.
But plant foods said to contain B 12 actually contain B 12 analogs
called cobamides that block intake of and increase the need for
true B 12.
10. Vitamin B9/Folic acid
c
Vitamin B 9 fosters the growth of red blood cells like most B-
vitamins and it also reduces the risk of birth defects.
Folic acid can be found in many foods, from meats to grains to
citrus fruits. Without enough Folic acid, a person can develop
diarrhea or anemia.
Pregnant women with a Folic acid deficiency could give birth to
babies with defects.
11. Vitamin B9/Folic acid
c
Folate deficiency may cause megaloblastic anemia, a blood
disorder in which there are very large red blood cells. If the
cause is folate deficiency, then treatment with folate is the
standard approach.
Consuming a high level of folate and taking folic acid
supplements by mouth during pregnancy helps reduce the risk of
birth defects in the infant.
Folic acid supplements are effective for increasing folate levels in
blood and decreasing symptoms associated with low folate
levels. Folic acid supplementation, with and without other B
vitamins, reduce levels of homocysteine in blood (a
cardiovascular risk factor).
12. OptiFer® B
OptiFer® B is a new tablet containing extremely
well-tolerated and efficient heme iron
It also contains vitamins B 6,
B 12 and folic acid.
OptiFer® B is designed
especially to help blood
formation when needed
in different situations.
