Avoiding Vitamin B12 Deficiency using Vita Sciences Maxasorb Vitamin B12 Cream

There are many vitamin "B's" and our health depends on having a proper balance of them. I learned this growing up.

"B vitamins are a class of water-soluble vitamins that play important roles in cell metabolism. Though these vitamins share similar names, research shows that they are chemically distinct vitamins that often coexist in the same foods. In general, supplements containing all eight are referred to as a vitamin B complex. Individual B vitamin supplements are referred to by the specific name of each vitamin (e.g., B1, B2, B3 etc.). 

Deficiency results in a macrocytic anemia, elevated homocysteine, peripheral neuropathy, memory loss and other cognitive deficits. It is most likely to occur among elderly people, as through the gut declines with age; the autoimmune disease pernicto ious anemia is another common cause. It can also cause symptoms of mania and psychosis. In rare extreme cases, paralysis can result." (source Wikipedia)

When presented with an opportunity to review Vita Sciences Maxasorb Vitamin B12 Cream, I was delighted! I take a daily multivitamin which does, of course, have many of the B vitamins. But I also realize that as a lady-of-a-certain-age it might really benefit me to try additional Vitamin B12. What an ideal opportunity!

I realize that the results of any vitamin consumption on one's overall health only takes place after a sufficient period of time. There is no overnight success! I've been using the Maxasorb B12 Cream for a week now - daily. I apply two pumps to my inner arms, specifically in the wrist area. I scrub both arms together (not using my hands to apply as some would get rinsed off later) to allow the cream to penetrate the skin. It goes on very well. Not greasy. Doesn't seem to rub off on clothing.

I have confidence that this can only be beneficial. It is great not to have "another pill" to swallow. Applying the cream to the skin only takes moments. I am looking forward to using the entire 30-day supply that is contained in this bottle.
