Folic acid improved anemia symptoms
We examined a patient who experienced severe anemia following COVID-19, presenting with both cold agglutinin and cryoglobulin. Testing showed positivity for C3d but no significant signs of hemolytic anemia or thrombosis.

Remarkably, the anemia improved with just folic acid supplementation, which also reduced the cold agglutination levels and normalized the direct antiglobulin test. Although cryoglobulinemia persisted, the patient remained symptom-free.

This suggests that thorough assessment is crucial before considering treatments for cold-related blood disorders following COVID-19.

Vitamin B12 shows cold pain relief
We explored the potential effects of vitamin B12 on cold sensitivity in a study using rats with induced neuropathic pain. The focus was to see whether vitamin B12, both alone and in combination with the pain reliever diclofenac, could alleviate cold and mechanical allodynia—a condition where non-painful stimuli are perceived as painful.

In our approach, we administered vitamin B12 in varying doses over ten consecutive days following nerve injury. What we discovered was quite telling. Higher doses of vitamin B12 (50, 100, and 200 µg kg(-1)) led to a reduction in cold sensitivity. However, when using a lower, subanalgesic dose (25 µg kg(-1)), vitamin B12 did not significantly impact pain responses when paired with low doses of diclofenac.

As we adjusted the vitamin B12 dosage to a more effective level (100 µg kg(-1)), we noticed an improvement in pain relief compared to diclofenac alone. These findings suggest that vitamin B12 could have a positive effect on alleviating cold-related pain in neuropathic conditions, especially when used at appropriate doses.

B12 may reduce cold sensitivity
In our exploration of neuropathic pain relief, we found that Vitamin B12 has a notable impact on cold sensitivity in rats with nerve injuries. The study involved male Wistar rats that underwent infraorbital nerve constriction, simulating a model of trigeminal neuropathic pain.

We treated these rats with B vitamins, particularly focusing on Vitamin B12, to assess its effectiveness in alleviating cold hyperalgesia, which is an increased sensitivity to cold. The results showed that Vitamin B12, when given at a lower dose alongside carbamazepine, helped reduce cold pain sensitivity at certain time points.

However, the combination treatment limited our ability to fully understand the isolated effect of Vitamin B12. Still, it suggests that including B12 in pain management may offer additional benefits for those suffering from this type of nerve pain.

I am so pleased to have found this vitamin. It has been a life-altering experience for my family and me. My mood has improved, my energy levels have increased, and my immunity against colds is far better. I highly recommend it!

Helps with cold
Drinking during pregnancy, I found that my teeth were affected by the cold, yet this product provided significant relief. Subsequently, I struggled to handle cold drinks.

Quick recovery
This is a great supplement. I've only been taking it for a short time but have noticed my immune system strengthening. I caught a viral illness, possibly the most popular virus of 2020, but I got over it quickly with just a slight stuffy nose and weakness lasting two days. I previously had colds that lingered much longer.
