hey this is dr. berry in this short
video I want to talk to you about a
supplement that's very important for
anyone who's taking metformin or
glucophage to take it's a vital
essential mineral and if you are a
vitamin and if you don't get it you can
suffer severe long-term even permanent
consequences so let's talk about this
vitamin now if you know someone that
takes metformin or glucophage for
pre-diabetes for insulin resistance for
polycystic ovarian syndrome or for
infertility issues please share this
video with them because they really need
this information doctors are very busy
we try to remember to tell people to
take this vitamin but sometimes we
forget and so this is very important to
share if you know someone who's in that
boat now let's talk about this so
metformin are glucophage you may have
heard of this it's a very safe very
inexpensive medication that's first-line
treatment for PCOS polycystic ovarian
syndrome for pre-diabetes some doctors
even use it in insulin resistant
patients who are not pre-diabetic yet
and it's definitely one of the
first-line drugs used for type 2
diabetes like I said it's very cheap
it's the least bad of all the type 2
diabetes medications in my opinion it's
not perfect but out the reason that I
think it's okay to take for many people
is because it works by decreasing your
livers production of glucose it
decreases gluconeogenesis that's one of
the things that does what it does not do
is increase your pancreas it's a
secretion of insulin and so it doesn't
increase the insulin level in your
bloodstream which is a very good thing
it also makes your body's tissues more
sensitive to the insulin that you're
already making so your liver is more
insulin sensitive your muscles even your
ovaries and then a couple of other
tissues in the body may be even more
sensitive to the insulin you're already
making so it's mechanism of action is
very good in that respect but do also to
its mechanism of
action up to a third of people who take
metformin of glucophage if they're not
taking a vitamin b12 supplement they can
become either a little bit or a lot of
bit
vitamin b12 deficient and that's a big
deal if if you're older if you're over
50 you're actually much more susceptible
to this if you drink more than one
alcoholic drink a day you're much more
susceptible to this because alcohol
tends to also deplete your folate in
your vitamin b12 levels the deficiency
in vitamin b12 the reason we care about
is it can cause some pretty disastrous
symptoms but if you're a b12 deficient
for long enough it can become permanent
the damage can be permanent and so one
of the very first things most people
notice when their b12 deficient is they
have a peripheral neuropathy or a
neuropathy in their feet usually but
sometimes the hands as well described as
a pins and needles kind of feeling and
some people with type 2 diabetes have
this anyway and so it's hard to know if
it's from the b12 deficiency that they
may or may not have or just from the
diabetic neuropathy and so that's why
it's doubly important for somebody with
type 2 diabetes to take their vitamin
b12 every day and I'm going to tell you
at the end of this video which kind of
b12 to take so we've talked about the
the one of the things which is
peripheral neuropathy but other problems
that vitamin b12 deficiency can lead to
is worsening memory and if it goes on
for long enough it can actually lead to
a certain type of dementia which is can
be permanent so it's a big deal also a
vitamin b12 deficiency can lead to
decreased cardiac output your heart may
just not function as well as it could
otherwise if your vitamin b12 deficient
now there are multiple different b12
supplements you can buy on the market
but what I recommend you take is a
methylated b12 and I'm gonna put a link
down below to one that I know is is safe
and reliable the reason I say take a
methylated b12 is that there are
millions of people out there who have an
MTHFR gene mutation and they can't
methylate B vitamins so even if your
taking a good b12 supplement if the b12
is not already methylated and you have
an MTHFR gene mutation then you can't
utilize that vitamin b12 nearly as well
as if it were methylated so everybody
just ought to go if you're gonna buy a
b12 supplement get a methylated one that
way you don't have to spend the money if
money is an issue to find out if you
have the MTHFR gene mutation or not okay
so I'm going to put a link to the to a
really reliable methylated vitamin b12
down in the notes below so that's it
that's what you got to do if you're on
metformin or glucophage for any reason
any medical reason you absolutely must
take a b12 supplement and I recommend
you take a methylated b12 supplement now
