Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, is crucial for cellular metabolism in every human cell. It serves as a cofactor in DNA synthesis, fatty acid and amino acid metabolism. It plays a vital role in the nervous system and the maturation of red blood cells.
Vegetarians must rely on fortified foods or supplements since plants do not provide B12.

B12 plays an important role in the body’s production of energy and the maintenance of the nervous system. It is also essential for the proper development and function of red blood cells, nerve cells, and DNA and RNA neurotransmitters. There is promising evidence that B12 may help to reduce the risk of heart disease and dementia, especially when taken in combination with vitamin B6 and folic acid.
Energy: B12 is crucial for converting carbohydrates into glucose, the body's primary source of fuel. It, along with other B vitamins, supports sustained energy levels and potentially enhances athletic performance and endurance.
Memory: High homocysteine levels are linked to dementia and Alzheimer's. Studies show B12, B6, and folic acid can reduce levels and lower the risk of brain disorders.
Hair skin and nails: B12 supports the renewal and repair of cells in the hair, skin, and nails for healthy cell reproduction.
Healthy red blood cells: Low B12 levels impair red blood cell division, DNA replication, leading to abnormally large cells (macrocytosis).
Nervous system: B12 enhances neurological activity, mental clarity, and emotional stability, and reduces age-related brain shrinkage based on increasing evidence.
Homocysteine levels and heart health: Excessive homocysteine levels are linked to various heart conditions, including high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes. Vitamin B12 is believed to normalize homocysteine levels, reducing the risk of these conditions.
Tinnitus: Some studies have found that people suffering from tinnitus are often vitamin B12 deficient.
Important:
When the body’s B12 levels are too low several functions become disrupted. It reduces the production of healthy new blood cells, which can cause significant damage over time and can lead to pernicious anaemia which causes memory loss, confusion and even dementia.
