In this episode of Daily Value, we look at recent research suggesting that the B12 levels we’ve always accepted as "normal" might silently be failing our brains. New data reveals that standard B12 thresholds may not adequately shield us from subtle neurological decline. Are current diagnostics overlooking hidden deficiencies? We go into how B12 truly supports your nervous system, the overlooked significance of active B12, and why traditional treatments might need reconsideration, particularly for those struggling with absorption. Perhaps the path to preserving cognitive health lies in rethinking what we thought we knew about vitamin B12.
