Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is the essential co-enzyme for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Eggs, cheese, fish are the common food sources of vitamin B12. It has wide applications for the treatment of depression, insomnia, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disorders, asthma and fatigue.

Uses

Blood Building

The role of vitamin B12 is to produce healthy red blood cells which carry oxygen throughout the body, and haemoglobin.

Nerve Function

Vitamin B12 is needed for the manufacture of the phospholipids in cell membranes (for the nerve transmission) and the myelin sheath (covers and protects nerve cells and enhances conduction of nerve messages).

Mental Function and Emotional Health

The beneficial impact of B12 on mental function and emotional health is greatly dependent on its role in fatty acid synthesis and nerve cell health. B12 facilitates the manufacture and recycling of the brain’s neurotransmitters, which are responsible for memory, mental clarity and alertness, mood and many other processes.

Typical Daily Intake

10 – 1000ug per day
