I don't know who that is, i'd have to google it. but I do know b-12 is helpful with a lot of things, and more or less your sleep cycle when it comes to fatigue. There are infomercials for b-12 all the time talking about restoring energy. But I get mine at target or walgreens. They both have sublingual b-12 for under 10 bucks. you absorb alot sublingually. If you don't respond to the b-12 you could also quite possibly have a folic acid deficiency, they work together. i read you could be creating a b-12 deficiency if you use reflux meds, or meds for ulcers on a regular basis also.
B12 and Sleep Support
Those who have a hard time sleeping may need vitamin B 12. Studies show that B12 causes an earlier release of melatonin at night which supports the sleep-wake cycle. B12 acts directly on the pineal gland to provoke a faster release of melatonin. B12 helps you get to sleep earlier and may help you wake up earlier especially if you leave a curtain open to the morning sun. B12 sensitizes you to morning light which helps you wake up. However, it may not work for everyone. Unfortunately, the vitamin doesn't help people who want to cut down on their sleep time altogether.
Elevated homocysteine levels (a marker of poor health) is found in many people with compromised health. When treated with 1000 micrograms (1mg) of vitamin B 12 (methylcobalamin) daily for three weeks, homocysteine levels dropped significantly. Although the study didn't follow the patients long enough to see the effects of long-term treatment, the condition of the patients' blood vessels will likely improve as the levels of homocysteine are reduced, as homocysteine is extremely toxic.  |
