[1] Creatine is a naturally occurring compound synthesized in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas from amino acids (arginine, glycine, and methionine)
Deficiency after gastric banding is therefore primarily related to: Reduced dietary intake and food tolerance , limiting consumption of B12-rich foods Use of acid-suppressing medicines (PPIs or H2RAs) , which can impair the release of B12 from food proteins and reduce absorption of food-bound B12 Crystalline B12 the form found in supplements and fortified foods does not require acid or pepsin for release
In this context, expansion of our methodology for peptide designs with further research on ways to improve the incorporation of non-natural amino acids, cyclization and stable peptide bond engineering are crucial
Good sources of vitamin B12 include: Meat (beef, lamb, and pork) Poultry (chicken and turkey) Fish (salmon, trout, and sardines) Dairy products (milk, cheese, and yogurt) Eggs Fortified cereals and plant-based milk alternatives For individuals who do not consume animal products, it is important to seek out fortified foods or consider taking a B12 supplement to prevent deficiencies that could affect hair health
