Alzheimers? Think again.....

Kirsten WrightMonday, May 26, 2025

Recent research shows that as many as 1 in 5 Alzheimer’s diagnoses may actually be a misdiagnosis…

And getting to the root of the problem could be as simple as correcting a vitamin B12 deficiency.

According to the National Institutes of Health, up to 20% of adults over 60 don’t get enough vitamin B12.

And this widespread deficiency could be a simple explanation for some of the potentially complicated issues we often hear are just a “natural aspect of getting older”…

…such as irritability and depression, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, even problems with walking and balance.

New Research Links Vitamin B12 Deficiency to Dementia

A recent study found that vitamin B12 deficiency is associated with impaired cognition and memory loss.

Researchers assessed over 200 older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and found that 84% were deficient in vitamin B12.

But after just 3 months of vitamin B12 replacement therapy, nearly 80% showed improved cognition based on mental status exams and even more than that reported significant improvements.

Additional B12 Deficiency Symptoms to Watch For

Vitamin B12 deficiency can be sneaky because the symptoms can be gradual. And many experts believe the "normal" levels are far too low…

So it’s important to keep an eye out for things like:

  • Depression, irritability, or mood changes
  • Foggy thinking & memory problems
  • Tingling or numbness in hands & feet
  • Loss of balance & coordination
  • A swollen or sore tongue
  • Fatigue & lethargy

So, before accepting a grim diagnosis or agreeing to prescription medications, be sure to have your vitamin B12 levels checked.

And also, be sure to consume adequate amounts…

The Sneaky Causes of B12 Deficiency

The only true dietary sources of vitamin B12 are from animal foods. So vegetarians and vegans are most at risk of deficiency.

But even meat eaters can become deficient if they don't properly absorb B12 from food…

Which can become increasingly common as we age.

While other reasons for poor absorption can include autoimmune disorders, acid-blocking medications, and intestinal surgeries.

Sneakier still, because a B12 deficiency can happen so gradually, it often goes undiagnosed for years. All while symptoms steadily worsen.

Protect Yourself With Nature's Richest Source of B12

The highest concentrations of bioavailable B12 are found in organ meats like liver.

Just 4 oz of liver can offer more than 1000% of your daily B12 needs!

But if you’re not a big fan of the thought of consuming organ meats, Paleovalley Grass Fed Organ Complex has you covered.

Each daily serving provides not one but three organs from healthy, grass fed, pasture-raised cows, so you’re getting a more diverse array of nutrients.

And the organs are gently freeze-dried to preserve as many of these nutrients as possible.

Most similar products only contain one (usually liver), and they’re usually processed at high temperatures, which can damage vital nutrients.

Don't let a B12 deficiency rob you of your cognition & vitality…

Paleovalley Grass Fed Organ Complex can help you protect yourself while promoting healthy energy, memory, and mood.
