Vitamin B and Mouth Odor


Disorders of bad breath may sound unimportant, but it is quite interfered. Some things are familiar as bad breath can cause, one of which was due to deficiency of vitamin B.

Chewing gum or use mouthwash only provides a temporary solution, because it does not treat the underlying cause. Even diligent brushing sometimes not enough to eliminate bad breath

About 10 percent of cases of bad breath does not come from the mouth, but due to vitamin B deficiency that causes bad breath originating from the stomach, as quoted from Mayoclinic, Saturday (08/10/2011).

Vitamin B complex helps the body make energy from food. When the body lacks this vitamin is the enzyme that is produced to help digest food and reduce bacteria in the blood is reduced.

This condition causes an increase in waste in the blood that leads to bad breath. Dizziness, migraines and diarrhea are symptoms caused by lack of Vitamin B complex.

The same thing also found in the study results from Evelyn Roehl's researcher that discovered the deficiency of vitamin B3 (niacin) will cause bad breath due to the reduction of metabolic processes in the body. Generally, adults should consume 14-16 mg of vitamin B3 per day.

In addition to vitamin B deficiency, there is also some other cause such as food (onion, meat, milk, sugar, eggs, coffee and alcohol), smoking, having dry mouth disorders as well as oral hygiene and bad teeth.

To overcome this problem by extending to drink to prevent dehydration and dry mouth, avoiding food triggers bad breath, use mouthwash containing folic acid if the bad breath due to inflammation in the gums as well as consult a doctor if bad breath is still arising.
