Excess of vitamin B12 may be hazardous
1. Vitamin #B12 deficiency is known to cause anemia, peripheral neuropathy, dementia, psychosis and skin pigmentation. Vitamin B12 supplementation is needed in them, however, #vitaminB12 excess may have adverse effects on health and life.

2. In a recent study, >5500 people (mean age 53 years) were followed up for 8.2 years.
Those with high plasma vitamin B12 concentration had 25% higher risk of all-cause death.
The mechanism of increased death is unknown.

3. Older age, high blood pressure, poorer kidney function, as well as increased concentrations of liver enzymes, were positively associated with higher plasma concentrations of vitamin B12. So, these groups should be more cautious while taking vitamin B12 supplementation.
Elevated #Homocysteine levels increase the risk of #stroke
1. Homocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur-containing amino acid produced by the demethylation of the essential amino acid methionine, and the normal level is 5-15 µmol/L. High Hcy levels can increase the risk of stroke.

2. Total Hcy elevations above 15 µmol/L are an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke.
The risk of stroke is two times higher in people with Hcy >15 µmol/L as compared to those with Hcy level <10 µmol/L.

Hcy is not only a risk factor for, but is also correlated with, stroke severity, worse #prognosis, and stroke recurrence.

How a common nutritional deficiency turned an air hostess into a beggar
1. A few years ago, a smartly-dressed man entered my OPD with a shabbily-dressed woman, introducing her as his wife. Her hair was unkempt, clothes untidy and she wore a pair of torn sandals.

2. The gentleman further added: "She was an airhostess in a German airlines, whom I met while flying as I frequently flew to Germany for business. She was 25-yr old, pretty and it was love at first sight, culminating in #marriage. Things started to change within a few months."
3. She developed progressive #memory impairment, mostly for recent events. She had problems in calculation, speaking, and used to get lost in familiar places. One day, she left home to visit a well-known friend's place, but never reached there. She didn't return home either.
#Riboflavin (#vitamin B2) versus #covid19?
A series of molecular docking studies (modeling of biological actions by computer) indicate that plain old cheap old perfectly-safe old RIBOFLAVIN inhibits critical #SARS_CoV2 #proteases -- thus acting as potential #antiviral compound.

By analogy: viral protease inhibitors are the basis of anti-#HIV #ART (anti-retroviral therapy) - drugs used widely to maintain disease-free, #AIDS-free life, albeit at a cost: $25-50K per year. Plus headache, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, and a dozen other crappy side effects.
Riboflavin, if it proves to be effective in humans, or even if it doesn't, would cost perhaps $25 (twenty five, not 25 thousand) per year, with no headaches, nausea or the rest of that rot. Just so you know.

Recurrent seizures: Consider Vitamin B12 deficiency, if cause is not obvious
#Vitamin #B12 plays a vital role in keeping nervous system healthy. Deficiency of B12 can lead to dementia, neuropathy, spinal cord disease and psychosis. Here I report a case of #Epilepsy .

2. I saw this patient in 2004, when vitamin B12 deficiency was not an established cause of seizures. This young man had features of behavioral changes, dementia and seizures. Treatment with risperidone and carbamazepine did not result in improvement.

3. Suspecting vitamin B12 deficiency, blood investigations confirmed the diagnosis- high MCV, low vitamin B12, hypersegmented polymorphs, intrinsic factor antibody +, antral biopsy proven atrophic gastritis. CT brain showed mild cerebral atrophy.

#Vitamin A, or retinol, is an essential fat-soluble vitamin that plays numerous roles in vision, cellular differentiation, gene expression, growth, the immune system, bone development, and reproduction.

Vitamin A is found primarily in animal products. Fruits and vegetables are a source of provitaminA carotenoids that can be converted to retinol in the body at a lesser amount. The RDA for #vitamin A for adults is 900mcg/day

Letzten Winter regelmäßig,im Sommer dann so gut wie keine mehr.Überraschend, wie viele 80+ Patienten Corona recht entspannt durchgemacht haben(die Mikrobe ist nichts,das Milieu ist alles..).Also auch alte Menschen können ein robustes IS haben bzw herrscht vmtl #Kreuzimmunität vor
Ebenso spielen offensichtlich Mikro-/Makronährstoff und Vitaminmängel eine Rolle, vor allem #Vitamin #D3 Mangel.
Selbst ein recht junger Dialysepatient mit 120kg hat Corona ohne #Spätfolgen durchgemacht.

Boy is it refreshing to read this thread that takes a close look at two studies being used to rationalize #vitamin D supplementation for #COVID-19. It explains how both studies have so many problems that the findings must be interpreted with great caution
2/ Why do I care? I spent part of my graduate work working on the molecular #biology of the vitamin D system (including how the various “vitamin” D metabolites impact Vitamin D Receptor activity/gene expression)
3/ Far from being simplistic “vitamins”, the various forms of “vitamin” D are actually secosteroid transcriptional activators, w/ 1-25-dihydroxyvitamin D (also called D3) also acting as a hormone

Reassessment of #API plants:
- Reassessment of API plants to reassure that no product was negatively affected.
- It was done for 90 products.
- And it all went well.

Incredibly refreshing to read this review that details how 👉components of the intestinal #microbiome (+ the metabolites they express) can regulate bone metabolism (#osteoporosis)☝️by influencing host metabolism, immunity + the endocrine environment: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
For example LCA, a ligand synthecized by intestinal #bacteria 👉 can bind into the vitamin D receptor (#VDR) where it reduces the ability of vitamin D to activate osteocalcin and RANKL (two human genes associated w/ bone formation): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
The level of complexity + nuance in the review (in which many pathways, #microbes + metabolites can influence osteoporosis progression) 👉 helps explain why recent RCTs that relied on #vitamin D supplemetation alone to treat bone health have failed: thelancet.com/journals/landi…
