Doctors Called Her Memory Loss
"Hopeless" - They Were Wrong! |
|
Nearly 50% of Older Adults Have a Hidden Vitamin Deficiency That Causes
Memory Loss, Confusion, Fatigue, and Depression. Learn How You Can
Overcome It and Trigger a Health Revival You Have to Feel to Believe... |
|
Dear Health Conscious Reader,
As we get older and our bodies and minds start to slow down, many
people think there's nothing that can be done about it. Of course this isn't
true.
The truth is, there are natural solutions that can help you stay healthy and
active for years to come.
Take a minute to read Ilsa K.'s story. It's a real eye-opener when it comes
to "hopeless" memory loss, which is something many of us fear falling
victim to in our golden years:
At 85, Ilsa's future was looking bleaker by the minute.[1] She couldn't remember names, she had trouble recalling where she
had been just hours before and she was forgetting what day it was.
She was growing more agitated, so her worried daughter took her to
a memory clinic. That's when everyone's worst fears were
confirmed, and she was given a prescription, which her daughter
actually believed made her cognitive problems worse.
The story could've ended there, with an aging mother losing touch
with reality and a heartbroken family helplessly standing by.
Thank goodness it didn't.
Luckily, the memory clinic also tested Ilsa for vitamin B12 and the
results caught her doctor's eye. Her blood levels were well below
normal, so he began B12 treatment immediately.
What happened next was a miracle.
Within days, Ilsa's brain "woke up." She became less agitated. Her
confusion went away. As her daughter recounts, "I felt I had my
mother back, and she feels a lot better, too."
Two years later, Ilsa was still independent and living in her New York
home without outside assistance. Vitamin B12 did the trick!
Thankfully, Ilsa and her daughter learned the truth about B12
deficiency before it was too late. Millions of other people are not so
lucky... |
My name is Joshua Corn and I am the Editor-in-Chief of Live in the Now,
one of the fastest growing natural health publications in the nation. My
passion for natural healing drives me to spread the word about simple,
safe and effective health solutions that can dramatically improve your life.
Before you run out and grab a bottle of vitamin B12 to boost your memory
and protect your mind, there's a shocking secret about what most B12
supplements are made from — and you deserve to know about it.
Please keep reading to learn how to safely increase your B12 levels and
revitalize your health with the form of vitamin B12 that will do your body the
most good.
Is There An "Ilsa" in Your Family? Could It Happen to You?
Right now, millions of American adults suffer the effects of low B12 and
don't even know it.
They think they're "just getting older" or worse — and like Ilsa they are misdiagnosed by their doctor with conditions like advanced cognitive
decline... depression... fatigue... insomnia... balance disorders... jaundice...
paresthesia (that pins-and-needles tingling)...and then given drugs that
don't fix the problem and may make it worse.
If you've experienced any of these symptoms, it's imperative that you take
action NOW before irreversible damage occurs. The good news is that B12
deficiency can be remedied easily, quickly and inexpensively.
SIGNS YOU HAVE A B12 DEFICIENCY |
|
|
|
Low energy and weakness |
|
|
Memory problems |
|
|
Confusion or "fuzziness" |
|
|
Irritability and mood swings |
|
|
Persistent sleep problems |
|
|
Dizziness or lightheadedness |
|
|
Digestive problems |
|
|
Weak immunity |
|
|
Hearing and vision loss |
|
|
Tingling in the extremities |
|
How bad is it? B12 deficiency now affects nearly 50% of older adults.[2,3] And nearly 40% of all adults are flirting with deficiency status and may
already be suffering symptoms as a result. [4]
In fact, it's so frequently missed by doctors that the Centers for Disease
Control has rushed out a special course for physicians called "Why Vitamin
B12 Deficiency Should Be On Your Radar Screen."[5]
My advice to you — don't wait for your doctor to bring it up!

It's High Time Low B12 Was On Your Radar Screen
I read about Ilsa in The New York Times, so I'm glad the
mainstream media is finally catching on to an urgent
problem I've been warning my readers about for years.
The word is getting out:
|
"Being even mildly deficient in vitamin B12 may put older
adults at a greater risk for accelerated cognitive decline."[6] -
Tufts Nutrition News, 2013
|
|
"B12 is the most important nutrient you aren't thinking
about...B12 deficiency can mimic all of the effects of aging."[7] -
Dr. David Katz of the Yale University Prevention Research Center in
2012
|
|
"B12 deficiency is common, with troubling symptoms...that are
similar to many other problems related to growing older."[8] -The
Mayo Clinic Health Letter, September 2013
|
|
"B12 deficiency can be sneaky, harmful and is relatively
common, especially among older people."[9] -The Harvard
Medical School's health blog January 10th, 2013 |
The famous Dr. Mehmet Oz, recently devoted an episode of his TV show
to "America's B12 Deficiency"[10] and why this is a national crisis in the
making.
However, the media reports are still missing one big part of the picture ...
and it might be the most important health-boosting factor of all:
You Need the Right Kind of B12 to Fix This Problem...
Because Most B12 Supplements Barely Work
Please read on for the full B12 story you're not getting from the medical
establishment. You'll learn:
- How B12 deficiency can be so widespread in the richest and best fed
nation in the world. This is crucial, because you could be at risk
even if you eat a healthy diet.
- Why B12 in multivitamins and fortified foods may be completely
ineffective. A false sense of security is the last thing you need.
- Which form of B12 works best... and why the most common form of
B12 simply won't deliver optimal results no matter how much you
take.
I'll explain how in just a minute, but first...
Here's How B12 Protects Your Brain
Scientists now understand that age-related
cognitive decline is linked to a process in the
body that involves a decrease in brain mass.
That's right, your brain actually shrinks as you age! This reduction in brain
mass is directly correlated with loss of memory and cognitive function seen
in older individuals.[11]
Emerging research is showing that being deficient in B12 puts your
brain in serious danger, so if you care about your cognitive health, you
better be sure that you're getting enough.
Recently, a landmark study showed vitamin B12 supplementation slows
the rate of brain shrinkage and declining cognitive scores in
older individuals.[12] Another study showed that older individuals with higher
levels of B12 in their blood had less shrinkage of the brain. Those with
higher B12 blood levels and increased brain size even scored higher on
memory and cognitive tests![13]
Beware These 6 Red Flags:
How Low B12 Can Happen to Anyone
B12 deficiency is part nature, part our own doing. For many people, it's the
result of multiple factors coming together in a "perfect storm" of trouble.
Here's why it is so easy to become dangerously low on this vital nutrient.
|
|
Red Flag #1: You're over 50. |
|
Experts agree that B12 absorption decreases with age. That's why B12
is "one of the few vitamins Mayo Clinic experts routinely recommend for
older adults."[14]
You see, B12 must first link up with a protein called intrinsic factor (IF),
which is produced in your stomach. IF levels drop with age... which is why
your B12 levels can plummet even when your diet remains the same.
|
|
Red Flag #2: Common medications. |
|
Antacids, ulcer drugs or proton-pump inhibitors can trigger B12 deficiency
because they block IF production. Likewise with aspirin and other
medications that affect the stomach.
Even diabetes drugs like metformin can trigger B12 deficiency. Indeed,
research has documented the link between metformin, low B12 and
impaired cognitive performance.[15]
|
|
Red Flag #3 and #4: Your diet and alcohol intake. |
|
Dietary B12 only comes from meat, poultry and seafood. So vegetarians
are at risk — but so are folks who have simply cut back on their meat for
health reasons, which is a lot of us! Plus, if you drink alcohol regularly,
your ability to absorb B12 will be reduced.
|
|
Red Flag #5 and #6: Intestinal problems and surgery. |
|
Conditions like IBS, Crohn's, celiac disease, enteritis and food intolerances
block B12 uptake at the receptor site. Plus any gastric surgery can reduce
absorption, because it can eliminate stomach cells that produce intrinsic
factor.
It's a wonder we absorb any B12 when the deck is stacked against us. It
takes powerful B12 support to turn the tide, so that's why it's important to
know:
Multivitamins and "B12 Fortified" Foods Simply Won't Do
Many people think their B12 needs
are met by taking a multivitamin or
eating fortified breakfast cereal. They
are sadly mistaken.
Taking just any old multivitamin for
low B12 is like trying to fill a
swimming pool with a teaspoon.
First, the B12 in multivitamins may
not even work.[16] Research shows that the form of B12 found in many
multivitamins may chemically interact with the other nutrients in the
multivitamin and could be ineffective by the time you take it.
Even if it remains stable, there's a huge gulf between what you ingest and
what you absorb. A lack of intrinsic factor could reduce your oral B12
absorption to as little as 1%.[17]
That's why nationally known experts like Dr. Hyla Cass, M.D. of UCLA
believe that the older you get, the more likely you'll need to take
significantly more B12 to offset absorption problems. Research shows it
may take at least 200 times the current low RDA in order to successfully
address B12 deficiency.[19]
B12 Is Crucial As You Age...
Because
It Does SO MUCH to Keep You Young
|
So aside from its brain-protecting effects,
why is ample B12 so important?
First and foremost, you need B12 for
normal DNA replication in every cell in
your body. It helps you constantly
generate healthy new cells that keep your
body vibrant and your mind razor-sharp.
When B12 is low, your body can't produce
enough new cells. That's why B12
deficiency starts aging you practically
overnight. It triggers all the bad physical
and mental effects of growing old at the
most fundamental cellular level. |
If DNA replication were B12's only job, it would still be one of the most
crucial nutrients of all. But B12 is the most biologically active vitamin by far.
Vitamin B12 also helps your body:
- Convert carbohydrates and fats into energy. Extra B12 can help
you enjoy greater energy, motivation and mental focus almost
immediately.
- Regulate sleep cycles. Fixing a deficiency can help you sleep
soundly again, so you get the rest you need and wake up refreshed
every day.
- Keep nerve cells healthy and communicating with each other in an
optimal manner — is critical for brain health and good physical
balance as you age.
- Neutralize dangerous homocysteine in your blood, to protect your
heart, bones, vision, and hearing from this well-known health
destroyer.
- Keep your immune system working at its best, to help keep you
healthy and illness-free even during cold-and-flu season.
- Produce serotonin, the "feel good" neurotransmitter that helps to
prevent depression. (Studies have linked low B12
and depression.[20,21])
The Vitamin B12 Supplement I Always
Recommend to My Readers
Many people who learn about low B12 make the big mistake of grabbing
the first B12 they see at the supermarket.
Unfortunately, most B12 supplements are made with cheap, low-grade
cyanocobalamin B12. This is the most difficult form of B12 for your body to
absorb. In addition, many B12 supplements come in pill form, which is
problematic because many older people lack the ability to absorb B12
through their digestive tract.
The very best B12 supplements are made with the superior
methylcobalamin form of B12 and come in sublingual lozenges, so the B12
gets absorbed under your tongue directly into your bloodstream.
Unfortunately, the B12 supplements that have "all the right stuff" are often
prohibitively expensive. This is a shame because the high cost often steers
people towards cheap, ineffective B12 supplements.
I knew this was a big problem — and I was determined to solve it. You
see, in addition to my work with the Live in the Now newsletter, I am also
CEO of Stop Aging Now, a company that has produced premium
nutritional supplements for nearly 20 years.
Working with my Scientific Advisory Board, I created a vitamin B12 formula
called MAX-B12™. My goal in creating this formula was to offer a B12
product of superior quality at an amazingly affordable price, so that no one
has to suffer the consequences of a B12 deficiency.
How affordable is MAX-B12? Well if you act today you can get MAX-B12
for as little as $7.95 per bottle!
There's Ordinary B12... and Then There's MAX-B12
The fast-acting power of MAX-B12 will simply amaze you. It's so quickly
absorbed into your bloodstream in its active B12 state that you'll feel
greater energy and mental focus within minutes. And when you take it
daily, the lasting benefits will emerge and you could enjoy:
|
Sharper memory and clearer thinking |
|
|
Improved energy and stamina all day |
|
|
Fewer mood swings and greater well-being |
|
|
Better sleep so you wake up refreshed |
|
|
A stronger immune system to avoid illness |
|
|
Protection for your heart, vision and hearing |
|
|
And more, as every cell in your body gets the
B12 it so urgently needs |
|
|
|
Great Results in Weeks...
"I am 50 years old and after
only a few weeks of using
the product I noticed
increased energy levels,
better memory and overall a
better state of health"
-Joy Lester from Boonsboro, MD |
MAX-B12 may cost the same or just a few pennies a day more than lowgrade
supermarket B12, but its advantages are worth their weight in gold.
Let me explain the difference, and then you can be the judge:
MAX-B12 Advantage #1
You Get The Most Bioavailable Form of B12: Methylcobalamin
Methylcobalamin is the active form of B12 that cuts through absorption
obstacles much better than cyanocobalamin. That's because your body
doesn't have to struggle breaking it down into a usable form.
Methylcobalamin is also the purer choice. You see, cyanocobalamin
consists of a cyanide molecule joined with a cobalamin molecule. That's
right: cyanide. And it can accumulate in your brain over time with
disastrous results.[22] That's never a worry when you take MAX-B12 instead.
MAX-B12 Advantage #2
The Fast-Acting Lozenges Promote Optimal Absorption
For a B12 delivery method, there's no comparison to lozenges. B12 pills
are hard to absorb. B12 liquids are messy and inconvenient. B12 sprays
cost too much for what you get. MAX-B12 lozenges, on the other hand,
are the perfect way to go: fast-acting, convenient, economical and pleasant
tasting.
You dissolve each MAX-B12 under your tongue, directly absorbing the B12 into your bloodstream.
Sublingual absorption lets you sidestep
typical absorption and enjoy nearly immediate boosts in your mental
clarity, mood and energy.
MAX-B12 Advantage #3
At 3000 mcg, It's the Perfect Daily Serving Size
Many vitamin B12 supplements only give you 1,000 mcg a day of B12,
which is far less than what you really need. Many leading experts
recommend a daily intake of 3,000 mcg, which is the daily dose MAX-B12 provides. Most people find this an excellent level for B12 maintenance.
However, if blood tests confirm that you are B12 deficient, you can safely
increase your intake to 10,000-15,000 mcg daily until levels are adequate.
Remember there is zero toxicity with B12 so it's safe to take high doses.
MAX-B12 Advantage #4
Made in the U.S.A. in a State-of-the-Art Facility
MAX-B12 is produced in an FDA-inspected facility and exceeds the strict
quality standards set by the US Pharmacopeia (USP). You can be confident
you're taking the purest B12 available, in the form shown to be the safest
and most effective for daily use.
Quality and purity matter a lot. The market is flooded with low-cost vitamins
from countries where facilities and processes may leave a lot to be
desired. When you can get U.S.-produced MAX-B12 for about the same
price, the choice is easy.
MAX-B12 Advantage #5
A Surprising Low Cost for a Premium-Grade Supplement
How affordable is it? You can get MAX-B12 for as little as $7.95 per bottle
for 90 lozenges (a one-month supply) for the finest-grade, U.S.-produced
methylcobalamin in the superior lozenge form. That's 9-cents-per-serving
affordable!
Add in FREE SHIPPING and no tax and you're looking at an amazing deal
— especially when you consider how much support MAX-B12 provides.
We Stand Behind MAX-B12 With
Our 365-Day Money-Back Guarantee
I take MAX-B12 daily, so I know it provides faster and better results than
any other B12 I've tried, and I've tried plenty. I wouldn't trade it for
anything.
But the choice is yours to make. That's why I invite you to see for yourself
risk-free what this premium-grade B12 can do. You can take it for up to
one year and still get a full refund if you don't like it. Return your purchase,
even empty bottles, and I'll send you your money back. It's that simple.
Don't Just Take My Word For It
I get letters literally everyday about the amazing life-changing benefits
people are experiencing with MAX-B12. Here are just a few of my
favorites:
|
Loves the Fast Results...
"I have been using B12 for a long time, but wanted to find a
product that I could get into my body quickly. This little pink
pill dissolves under my tongue and gets me that 'B Boost' I
need every day. It's a super product at a value price. I
recommend it!"
-Connie Martin from Coos Bay, OR |
|
Just the Lift He Wanted...
"I have been using MAX-B12 for 3 months and I feel this vitamin
B-12 formula keeps me focused, energized, and upbeat."
-John Misany from Fountain Hills, AZ |
|
A Stronger Mind & Body...
"I take MAX-B12 to regulate my stress levels, sleep better, create
a balanced nervous system, and a better immune support
system."
-Wendy Maldonado from York Haven, PA |
|
Her Mental Fog Disappeared...
"Mental clarity! After taking MAX-B12 for several days, my mental
fog disappeared! It's as though someone wiped a dirty window
clean and now everything is in better focus."
-Joyce Beck from Cincinnati, OH |
|
Increased His Energy...
"MAX-B12 was a great price and increased my energy. The
chewable cherry tabs are easy to take and I have noticed a nice
difference in the way I feel."
-Jeff Held from Mountlake Terrace, WA |
If you're concerned about low B12 and the damage it can do — or if you're
already feeling the effects and want a quick, healthy lift — you, too, will feel
these amazing MAX-B12 results, and fast.
