Mechanisms and consequences Whilst researching a related topic for a soon-to-be-published MedNut Mail email, I came across this diagram and asked the question what are the likely mechanisms of action for metformin to alter pyridoxines (vitamin B6) metabolic pathway? Early evidence indicates metformin use is associated with a higher risk of B6 deficiency, with one study estimating a risk increase of about 48%
Because Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin mostly found in animal products, Vitamin B12 is an essential supplement for vegans or strict vegetarians who may not consume enough B12 from their diet alone
The peptides engage different pathways, have different stability profiles, and carry different handling constraints
If you follow a plant-based diet, youre a prime candidate, since B12 is primarily found in animal products
