Vitamin B-12, or cobalamin, is involved in many body processes and works very closely with another B vitamin, folic acid. They both work to synthesize DNA in our body and manufacture red blood cells.

Vitamin B-12 is also necessary for the proper functioning of our nervous system. Therefore, if a B-12 deficiency occurs, nerve function can become impaired generally characterized by tingling sensations and numbness.

A vitamin B-12 deficiency can also cause impaired mental function. A deficiency in Vitamin B-12 is thought to be quite common among the elderly, and it is a major cause of depressed mood among this age group.

In addition, as we age, we secrete a lower amount of the stomach acid necessary for vitamin B-12 absorption, and are thus more susceptible to vitamin B-12 deficiency.

Therefore, it is strongly recommended that people over the age of 50 consume a vitamin B-12 supplement. Folic acid may also mask the symptoms of a B-12 deficiency, so it is recommended that Vitamin B-12 and folic acid be taken together.

Vitamin B-12 may also play a significant role in heart health. It does so by helping to keep blood levels of homocysteine low. Homocysteine is a substance that is formed when Vitamin B-12 and folic acid levels are minimal, and research has indicated that high blood levels of homocysteine may be a possible risk factor for heart disease.

Vitamin B-12 is recommended as part of a daily regimen for Women’s Health, Stress, Heart Health, Mood/Emotional Well-Being, Energy, Fitness.
