Supplements of vitamins B12 and B9 (folic acid) have all chances to reduce the value of homocysteine (total amino acid), to improve the state of anemia, and to disperse self-reported bodily well-being in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a new study.

The study implies the probable role of these 2 vitamins in the improvement of the properties of life to a painful RS.

Not paying attention to healing, patients with MS often feel signs that do not give their everyday life. A large number of patients have turned to dietary supplements with the Hope they have reduced the severity of their symptoms.

There is an important fiction offering outstanding qualities of all sorts of supplements for MS, encompassing vitamin B12 and folic acid.

Homocysteine, whose highest values are associated with heart disease and disastrous results in the nervous system, has the possibility of being more prevalent in MS patients compared to healthy individuals. This talks about the fact that homocysteine is considered “one of the causal moments of the pathogenesis [development] of MS", scientists say.

The defect of vitamin B12-of course contained in meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products — has the ability to lead to a violation of myelination, the process of formation of the protective myelin sheath around the nerve cells. The loss of myelin is considered a special feature of MS.

Folic acid defect, and still not enough vitamin B12, was associated with the release of neurological signs in patients with MS. Meanwhile, vitamin B12 and folic acid supplements have proven promising outcomes between these patients.

Apart from this, it is known, in fact, that patients with MS have an increased risk of becoming megaloblastic anemia — a condition in which the bone marrow produces unusually giant immature red blood cells, called megaloblasts. More common bases of megaloblastic anemia is considered a lack of vitamin B12 or folic acid.

On the basis of these studies, scientists from the Institute of medical Sciences of Urmia And the Institute of medical Sciences of Kermanshah in Iran studied the effects of vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation on patients with recurrent multiple sclerosis (PMS). The team purposely investigated the serum homocysteine level, anemia status and quality of life.

This double-blind clinical examination (IRCT2015100313678N7) covered 50 patients with RRMS (age 20-40 years) who were divided into 2 groups: a vitamin group that received 3 doses of 1 mg vitamin B12 injection (with a break in the month) plus 5 mg of folic acid per day; and a placebo group that received neutral injections of physical solution.

At the beginning and at the end of the study, all members filled out 2 questionnaires on the quality of life, once of which was confined to physiological well-being, and the other-mental. Blood samples were taken from all members and blood pressure readings were taken.

The results showed a decrease in the average value of homocysteine in serum in vitamins, in fact that it is possible to indicate the improvement of the nervous system. The surveyors were still looking at a decrease in mean corpuscular volume (MCV) in the vitamin group, which is a symptom of an advanced anemia condition.

At the end of the study, the vitamin group recommended improvement as bodily, for example, and psychological characteristics in the questionnaires properties of life. However, patients of the control group with PMS (without vitamin supplements) still had an increase in the questionnaire properties of life on psychological well-being, in fact that obscured all sorts of conclusions about the impact of vitamin supplements on the mental health of patients with MS.

“The results of the study have proven true, in fact that the degree of homocysteine, the situation of anemia and, in the final result, the quality of life of patients with MS have every chance to be an important improved method of joining 1 mg of vitamin B12 in the moon and the addition of luxurious food sources of folic acid in their diet," report the scientists.

That not the least group focuses attention, actually that " it is necessary to carry out the subsequent researches in the field of the menu of food of RS.”
