Vitamin B12

Vitamin b12 is the most commonly known name for Cyanocobalamin. Vitamin b12 is important for the function of the brain and nervous system, as well as the formation of blood. Vitamin b12 is a part of every cellular metabolism process, including the synthesis of DNA proteins. Because vitamin b12 is used to create blood, a vitamin b12 deficiency can lead to several different types of anemia.

Vitamin b12 can be found in foods that contain b12 bacteria. These foods include meat and dairy products. Eggs are not a good source for vitamin b12 because they contain elements that block absorption of vitamin b12. Fortified cereals are also good sources for vitamin b12. Vitamin b12 is also available in a number of supplements, including powers and liquids. Vegans and some vegetarians could need vitamin b12 supplements if their diet does not provide enough vitamin b12. A deficiency in vitamin b12 can not only lead to anemia, but also major problems for the brain and nervous system.

People with a sensitivity to cobalt should probably avoid taking vitamin b12 supplements. Vitamin b12 can also have reactions to a large number of medications and substances. If you are considering upping your daily dosage of vitamin b12 by eating more vitamin b12 rich foods for taking supplements, consider speaking to a health care provider about possible side effects.
