Some of these biological drivers that accelerate cellular aging include: Mitochondrial dysfunction (your cells ability to produce energy efficiently) DNA damage (which accumulates over time and affects cell function) Cellular senescence ( old or damaged cells that stop dividing but dont die off) Oxidative stress (an imbalance between free radicals and your antioxidant defenses) Chronic inflammation (low-grade inflammation that disrupts repair and immunity) Impaired tissue repair (a reduced ability to regenerate and heal) Hormonal changes (declines in key hormones that regulate metabolism, cognition, and more) Immune system decline (reduced ability to defend against threats and remove cellular waste) These internal biological mechanisms form a feedback loop that accelerates aging from the inside out
A Vitamin B complex can help put that right as can eating a range of foods that typically contain several B vitamins
8,9 Table 1 Risk Factors for Vitamin B12 Deficiency A multicenter randomized controlled trial of 390 patients with diabetes mellitus showed that those taking 850 mg of metformin three times per day had an increased risk of vitamin B 12 deficiency (number needed to harm = 14 per 4.3 years) and low vitamin B 12 levels (number needed to harm = 9 per 4.3 years) vs
Its a simple way to keep B12 levels up
