Source: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is composed of specialized components called neurovascular units or NVUs, which include: Endothelial cells , which line the barrier Astrocytic endfeet , which are part of nerve cells that envelope the blood vessels Basement membrane that lines the epithelial cells Pericytes that provide structural support to the blood vessels, but may also control BBB development and permeability [1] Tight junctions seal the gap between endothelial cells in the same layer
Mounjaro does not directly cause B12 deficiency, but its appetite-suppressing effects may lead to reduced food intake and potentially suboptimal nutrient consumption over time
Middle-Age and Elderly Absorption of B12 can decrease with age as the ability of epithelial cells in the stomach to biosynthesise transport proteins reduces
While many individuals can benefit from B12 injections, certain groups may see more significant or rapid improvements: Vegetarians and Vegans Plant-based diets are often low in B12, making supplementation crucial
