I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.

Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.

The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
How is protein bound vitamin B12 released?

How does absorption of g-complex bound vitamin B12 go?
- Trypsin (created in the pancreas) releases the vitamin B12 in the upper small intestint.
- Her it can bind to a protein that is produced it the stomach. This protein is called intrinsic factor.
- Now it goes to the ileum (lower part of small intestine) and the B12- Intrinsic factor-complex attaches to specific receptors present ont the intestinal cells.
- These cells facilitate absorption.
What happens to vitamijn B12 in the intestinal cells?
How does cellular uptake of the target organs occur?
What kind of relationship do the liver and the vitamin B12 have?
- The liver converts vitamin B12 into its active coenzyme forms.
- The liver also stores 60 % of all the body’s vitamin B12.
What is entherophatic circulation?
Why is vitamin B12 necessary?
And thereby it's essential for the prevention of megaloblastic anemia and neurological disturbances.
It is also a co factor in fat and carbohydrate metabolism and is essential for growth becasue the fat and carbohydrates are converted into cellular components.
What is megaloblastic anemia?
What is pernicious anemia?
What is methionine synthase?
They are involved in the produciton of the active form of folate. So therfore low B12 may lead do distrubance of folate metabolsim
B12 is the co factor of methionine synthase
What does methylmalonyl CoA mutase?
- It converts methylmalonyl CoA into succinyl CoA.
- This is an important reaction needed to produce energy from proteins and fats.
- Succinyl-CoA is also required for the production of hemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood.
What does the nameless enzyme do?

Why are more older people suffering form a B12 deficiency?
As a result, these people are not able to release the B12 that is present in food, and the amount of available B12 is further reduced due to consumption by the bacteria.
How can a autoimmune disease cause B12 deficiency?
- Without intrinsic factor, absorption of vitamin B12 is not possible.
- Intrinsic factor is produced in the stomach by specific cells, and these cells can be destroyed by the immune system in people suffering from an auto-immune disease.
- This often happens in people that have atrophic gastritis.
Which people are at riks of a B12 deficiency?
- People with a malabsorption.
- Older adults
- Individuals with stomach and small intestinal disorders, (might not absorb enough)
- People who had gastrointestinal surgery. (might not absorb enough it often result in a loss of cells that secrete hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor. Reduced levels of hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor lower the amount of vitamin B12, particularly food-bound vitamin B12, that is released and absorbed)
