L-Carnitine for Heart Health
A study published in Nutritional Journal shows that L-carnitine supplementation reduces oxidative stress and increases antioxidant enzyme activities in patients with coronary artery disease or coronary heart disease.
In the study, half of 47 patients with coronary artery disease received L-carnitine in a dose of 1000 mg per day for 12 weeks and the other half did not use the supplement.
L-carnitine supplementation reduced malondialdehyde levels and increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes, together indicating the supplement can reduce oxidative stress in patients with coronary artery disease.
High oxidative stress is considered a contributor to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease. The finding suggests that patients with coronary artery disease should benefit from taking L-carnitine as a dietary supplement.

When Vitamin B12 Deficiency Causes Mental Confusion
When people become forgetful or have memory problems they often worry about Alzheimer's disease. But what if Vitamin B12 Deficiency Causes Mental confusion?
According to the National Institues of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements: “Researchers have long been interested in the potential connection between vitamin B12 deficiency and dementia. A deficiency in vitamin B12 causes an accumulation of homocysteine in the blood and might decrease levels of substances needed to metabolize neurotransmitters. Observational studies show positive associations between elevated homocysteine levels and the incidence of both Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Low vitamin B12 status has also been positively associated with cognitive decline.” When vitamin B12 deficiency causes mental confusion, it can be devastating as this reader reports.
B12 Deficiency Causes Mental Confusion:
Q. My dear friend was experiencing cognitive and balance problems and had been taking metformin for many years. Her doctor could not determine a cause for her abnormal gait and memory loss. He even had her tested by a neuropsychiatrist who subjected her to a barrage of tests to evaluate her memory and motor skills but did not reach a diagnosis.
Two months later, my friend fell on a concrete pavement, suffered a severe brain bleed and died. I later learned that metformin can sometimes cause depletion of vitamin B12 levels. I wonder if my friend would be alive today if her doctor had ruled out this vitamin deficiency.
Symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiency:
A. The symptoms you describe are classic for vitamin B12 deficiency, so it is possible that was affecting your friend. Other complications arising from vitamin B12 deficiency include:
Depression, paranoia, personality changes and memory problems
Digestive upset including loss of appetite, weight loss and constipation
Anemia, pale skin, fatigue and weakness
Nerve problems including dizziness, numbness and tingling of feet or hands and movement disorders
Sore tongue or mouth
Heart palpitations and shortness of breath
People can experience just one or two symptoms or a range of problems when they have vitamin B12 deficiency.
Vitamin B12 Deficiency and Falls:
Lest you think that vitamin B12 deficiency is not that big a deal, here is a comment from Lilly:
“I had five falls in 14 months. There was notable damage each time, including a front lobe concussion. I went to a neurologist. My memory was shot, and I could not focus on anything. He put me through several tests. He was the first physician ever to test my vitamin B12 level. It was very deficient, but I did not have pernicious anemia.
“He started me on weekly injections of B12. That was more than two years ago. I have not fallen since and regained memory.”
Sue also discovered that a vitamin B12 deficiency causes mental confusion:
“I complained to my doctor for eight years that I was always exhausted. I had pale skin, blue lips, joint pain, had heart palpitations and a heart murmur. I was cold all the time. He did all the heart tests and told me I had Raynaud’s syndrome.
“Then I crashed hard. I couldn’t stay awake. My lips really turned blue. I had memory fog, and I felt depressed, but I knew I wasn’t really down in the dumps. I called to make an appointment with my doctor but learned he had retired.
“The doctor who took his place did all the same tests as before but included tests for vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Low and behold, I was deficient in both vitamin B12 and vitamin D!
“All those years of suffering and I do not have Raynaud’s! Four years later and I still haven’t gotten to the bottom of why I am deficient. I take vitamin B 12 daily. I’m only 52 now so it’s been a long journey. You are never too young to get your vitamin B levels checked! Listen to instincts and don’t let doctors blow you off!”
Drugs That Can Cause Vitamin B12 Deficiency:
A number of drugs can contribute to this serious problem. In addition to metformin, strong acid-suppressing drugs such as esomeprazole, lansoprazole or omeprazole can deplete vitamin B12 (Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity, June 18, 2020).
You can learn more about how drugs deplete the body of essential nutrients in the book, Fortify Your Life: Your Guide to Vitamins, Minerals and More by Dr. Tieraona Low Dog. Look for it at your local library or find the paperback edition in the books section of www.PeoplesPharmacy.com.
Dr. Low Dog recommends that people who are deficient in vitamin B12 take a supplement in the form of methylcobalamin. She points out that “people with Leber’s disease should avoid B12 supplements.” This rare hereditary disease is incompatible with extra vitamin B12 and could lead to blindness.
Doctors may not realize how many of the popular drugs they prescribe can lead to both vitamin and mineral insufficiency. Testing is advisable for people taking diabetes drugs, acid-suppressing medications or blood pressure medicines such as diuretics or ACE inhibitors like lisinopril.
We think Dr. Low Dog’s book is the best resource available to determine how much of any nutrient you need and which drugs can contribute to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Here is a link to the paperback edition.
