B 12

Description

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a vital water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and proper nerve function. It is found primarily in animal foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Vitamin B12 is essential for maintaining healthy nerve cells and helps produce myelin, the protective sheath around nerves. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia, fatigue, nerve problems, and cognitive impairment. Supplementation may be necessary for people with dietary restrictions, absorption problems, or certain medical conditions that affect B12 absorption.
