Scientists praise vitamin B-twelve. But what about B-one through eleven?!
This is Sandra Tsing Loh with the Loh Down on Science.
B-twelve helps lower stroke risk. What do the other B vitamins do?
Enter Xinge Zhang and team from the University of California, Irvine. They studied B-vitamins in the blood of three-hundred THOUSAND people. They also looked at risk factors like poor diet.
AND? People with higher levels ACROSS B Vitamins had a twenty percent lower risk of stroke! Specifically, B-one, two, three, and six!
B-twelve already helps by lowering the protein building blocks linked to stroke. But these other B vitamins seem to make its effects stronger!
So B good and take your B vitamins, bay-B!
