Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Thank you for your reply. But have you ever heard what is actually going on that gives some people a temporary energy burst from B12? What if they didn't have any food that day AND still have a energy burst from B12? Can't be digestion related then. > Hi ! > > B vitamins are catalysts for better digestion of food.

Can't be digestion related then. >>>>>>>>>>>>> Digestion is a 24 hour process. Food is constantly being moved along the conveyor belt we call the digestive tract. Food is sent to the cells via the blood stream. It is more than dinnertime...:-) I don't remember what part of the Krebs cycle of digestion B12 is needed. I do know that B12 is used at the cellular level as opposed to the systemic level. That is why b12 shots are effective. They send B12 into the blood stream directly which makes it immediately usable. Hope this clarifies things for you! Tom Nesler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
