The Story Behind Dr. Alfred Libby

The Story Behind Dr. Alfred Libby’s Revolutionary B Vitamin Breakthrough

Alfred Libby, M.D., earned five doctorates and is recognized as one of the world’s pioneering authorities on therapeutic nutrition. Dr. Libby’s medical background in bio-chemical research includes an association with Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling.

In the late 1970s, Dr. Alfred Libby, renowned authority on therapeutic nutrition and longtime associate of Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling, began to explore an alternative delivery system for Vitamin B-12. The goal was to bypass the stomach where this essential nutrient is not easily absorbed.

In early spring of 1980, Dr. Libby approached his colleagues with his new theory that B-12 could be delivered to the bloodstream sublingually (under the tongue). Biochemists and his medical colleagues were quick to dismiss the idea. However, he was persistent and they eventually decided to give his theory a try, although they were convinced it would fail.

Six weeks later the first clinical trial was underway. Shortly after, Dr. Libby’s Sublingual B-12 invention was deemed a complete success — blood levels of B-12 increased from 1.2% to over 90%! In fact, Dr. Libby’s patented sublingual delivery method is able to deliver up to 98% absorption where oral tablets have as little as 2%.

Dr. Libby closely followed B Vitamin research throughout his lifetime—with special attention to the work of Dr. Kilmer McCully, who pioneered a B Vitamin/Homocysteine theory in the 1960s. Dr. McCully theorized and later proved, that homocysteine, a toxic amino acid, was the culprit in a large percentage of heart disease cases.

Both Dr. McCully and Dr. Libby knew that B Vitamins—specifically B-12, B-6 and folic acid—detoxified homocysteine and helped prevent heart disease. By the 1990s researchers began to uncover homocysteine’s link to other killers—stroke, diabetes and Alzheimer’s, among others.

As a result of this research, Dr. Libby took a new look at his patented Sublingual B-12, and added the perfect homocysteine-fighting proportions of B-6 and folic acid. The final result of 20 years of dedicated research and testing is TriVita’s unique, patented Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid—doctor-formulated for maximum absorption every day.

TriVita now provides Dr. Libby’s original sublingual formula to thousands of people across North America—over four million boxes have been sold to date. Increased stamina, mental clarity, and improved mood are just a few of the great benefits that people have shared regarding their experience with TriVita’s Sublingual B-12. Many others have also enjoyed the added peace of mind knowing that their body is getting the B Vitamins essential to decreasing the risk of heart attack, Alzheimer’s disease, and stroke.
