Re: Chapped and bleeding lips

> Ok, so after 6 months of docs and people telling me that my sons cracked and

bleeding lips were due to him licking his lips (definitely NOT the case!). I

finally found out that cracked and bleeding lips can be due to a B-12

deficiency. The bleeding lips appeared about the time we switched to a new B-12

cream formulation. Anyone else ever heard of this?

At my house, this was deficiency in B2 and folic acid. B12 requires B2 and

folic acid [and carnitine] for proper absorption. Usually, it was B2 that

caused the lip issues. Try adding B2 and maybe carnitine [b2 also requires

carnitine for proper absorption] and see if that helps.

I used TwinLabs B2 capsules.

Dana,

 

You gave the supplements individually. Did you purchase a lot from Twinlabs?

I used a few different brands that I liked. TwinLabs was one I liked.

I just wanted to give everyone an update. We started back with the old B-12

cream and within 2 weeks my sons lips were back to normal. I guess he just

wasn't able to absorb the new cream formulation for some reason.
