B-12 and your liver?

[Iron man]

I have herd that b-12 is good for your liver if so what dose would you have to take to make a difference?

 

[PolfaJelfa]

I doubt that it helps your liver if anything i would expect it to hurt as it has to be run thru it.....HOWEVER I DO NOT KNOW AND MAYBE SOMEONE CAN HELP US OUT...THAT WOULD KICK ASS IF IT WOULD BRO, i know of the other benefits and if liver healing or protection woudl be another i think i would finally add it to my regimine.

[PolfaJelfa]

Vitamin B12 along with vitamin B9 and B6, is needed for the conversion of homocysteine in methionine. Homocysteine is an amino acid, which, in excess, can be toxic to nerves and blood vessels.
When there is not enough vitamin B12, the homocysteine accumulates in the blood and high blood levels of this amino acids are responsible for injured vessels and could lead to heart attacks.

Moreover, the methionine seems to be needed for the production of myelin, the material that insulates our nerves. While the homocysteine build up in the blood, no methionine is formed and the nerve transmission is altered.

Vitamin B12 transforms one form of folic acid in another one, which is needed for the production of DNA and RNA. If there is a lack in vitamin B12, folic acid cannot be transformed and no DNA is produced. DNA is critical in the production of red blood cells. When there is a deficiency in B12 vitamin, red blood cells cannot divide. This problem is known as Megaloblastic anemia

I dont think its good for your liver. It's good for your red blood cells. I recall hearing someone on here was having liver problems and the doc told him it was due to a overload of b12.

I thought there wasnt a toxic dose with B12 from what I read.

I cant find the thread where he says b12 gave him liver problems. I dont know if it actually is bad for your liver or not. But anything at too high of a dose can be bad for your liver.
