A person with Crohns disease may have trouble absorbing certain vitamins, such as vitamin B12, if they have undergone the removal of part or all of the ileum or if the disease affects their ileum
B is crucial for the metabolism of fats, drugs, and steroids and for the activation of other vitamins (it helps convert vitamin B to its active form and aids the conversion of tryptophan to niacin)
It metabolizes toxins, plays a vital role in sperm production and maturation, mounts an immune response to pathogens, and neutralizes free radicals implicated in skin aging, abnormal pigmentation, and diseases such as cancer, Alzheimers, and Parkinsons
If this sounds familiar, rest assured, youre not alone
