Understanding Vitamin B12
Support your brain, blood, and energy systems with this essential nutrient.*
What Is Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 (also called cobalamin) is essential for nerve function and DNA formation. It helps maintain the myelin sheath — a protective coating on nerves — which ensures healthy communication between the brain and body. Research links vitamin B12 deficiency to neurological problems, memory loss, and mood changes.
Is Vitamin B12 Safe for Daily Use?
Vitamin B12 is generally well-tolerated and safe when taken in recommended amounts. Some people, especially older adults or those with digestive issues, may need higher doses due to reduced absorption. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
What Does Vitamin B12 Do?
Vitamin B12 plays a critical role in multiple body systems. It is essential for nerve function, red blood cell production, and DNA synthesis. Research in 'Nutrients' shows that vitamin B12 is crucial for DNA synthesis, supporting healthy cell growth and repair. It also supports proper nerve signaling and prevents anemia by aiding red blood cell formation. Found in animal products like meat, fish, dairy, and eggs, it’s also available in fortified foods like cereals and nutritional yeast.
