WARNING!
It's becoming increasingly clear that vitamin deficiencies are widespread, despite official assurances that a varied diet provides all the nutrients required to maintain health.
The latest evidence comes from the joint American - Finnish study which found that 90% of smokers were deficient in Folic Acid and 54% were deficient in vitamins B-12 and B-6. Many experts are now recommending that people supplement their diet with vitamins to alleviate disease and maintain health.
It’s estimated that 88% of the U.S. adult population consumes less than the recommended daily allowance of B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid. Now is the time to safeguard your health and future by ensuring you get the B vitamins you need!
Researchers at Tufts University found that nearly 40 percent of participants between the ages of 26 to 83 had B-12 levels in the “low-normal” range – a level at which some people begin experiencing neurological symptoms. Nearly 9 percent had serious deficiency, and 16 percent were borderline B12 deficient.
Remarkably, additional studies show that low B-12 levels were as common in younger participants as in the elderly.
Smaller studies also report that 15 to 20% of senior citizens have a vitamin B-12 deficiency. Another recent study found that 40 percent of hospitalized elderly patients had low or borderline B-12 levels.
Studies also show that over 80% of long-term vegans who don't regularly supplement their diets with vitamin B-12 and over 50% of long-term vegetarians show consistent signs of B12 deficiency.
