Description
VITAMIN B-12
Cellular Energy & Neurological Nutrition
Vitamin B-12 is not a peptide. It is an essential water-soluble vitamin required for normal red-blood-cell formation, DNA synthesis, and neurological function.
Vitamin B-12 is also involved in methylation pathways and the metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids.
Because the body cannot produce B-12 on its own, adequate dietary intake or supplementation is important when deficiency is present.
Research and clinical practice strongly support correcting documented deficiency, while benefits beyond adequate nutritional status are less certain.
Research Focus: Neurological function • Red-blood-cell formation • DNA synthesis • Cellular metabolism
Research Status: Essential vitamin and established nutrient.
