As an anti-inflammatory KPVs anti-inflammatory mechanism of action isnt fully understood, but it may have to do with a signaling pathway called NF-B
It supports the production of red blood cells, helps in the maintenance of the nervous system, and is integral to DNA synthesis
Furthermore, the unique color can assist in proper dosing and utilization, minimizing the risk of errors
According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, functional B12 deficiency is most commonly seen in patients with one or more of the following: Age over 50 stomach acid production declines with age, and stomach acid is required to free B12 from food PPI or H2 blocker use reflux medications suppress the acid needed for B12 absorption Metformin use, which interferes with B12 absorption directly Vegan or vegetarian diets B12 is found almost exclusively in animal products Gut conditions including celiac, IBS, SIBO, and Crohns MTHFR mutations that affect how B12 is metabolized once absorbed Heavy alcohol use The symptoms of low B12 are easy to dismiss: fatigue, brain fog, low mood, tingling in the hands or feet, weakness, and shortness of breath on mild exertion
If your sheep are deficient in B12, they may exhibit symptoms such as: Anemia Weeping eyes Reduced growth rate Lethargy Poor appetite Lower birth rates Reduced fertility Higher parasite loads Poor wool production Some studies suggest that administering B12 can help lambs heal more quickly after periods of illness or injury and also can reduce flystrike
Many forms of bacterial contamination can reach dangerous levels long before they become visible to the naked eye
