What is Vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in various bodily functions. It helps in the production of red blood cells, supports brain health, and promotes DNA synthesis. Since your body doesn't produce Vitamin B12 on its own, it’s important to get it from food sources or supplements.
Benefits of Vitamin B12

• Boosts Energy: Vitamin B12 aids in converting carbohydrates into glucose, which your body uses as energy. It’s a popular supplement for those looking to combat fatigue or increase stamina.
• Supports Brain Function: B12 is crucial for maintaining a healthy nervous system and improving cognitive function. It may help reduce the risk of brain atrophy and conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
• Improves Mood: Vitamin B12 assists in serotonin production, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood. Deficiency in B12 has been linked to mood disorders like depression.
• Promotes Heart Health: B12 can help reduce homocysteine levels, an amino acid linked to heart disease when elevated.
• Healthy Skin, Hair, and Nails: B12 supports cell regeneration, leading to healthier skin, stronger nails, and shinier hair.

Symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiency

Vitamin B12 deficiency is more common than you might think, especially for people who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet since B12 is primarily found in animal products. Common symptoms include:

•  Fatigue and weakness
•  Pale or jaundiced skin
• Shortness of breath and dizziness
• Nerve problems like numbness or tingling
• Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
• Mood changes, such as depression or irritability

If you experience these symptoms, it may be worth checking your B12 levels with a healthcare provider.

How Much Vitamin B12 Do You Need?

The recommended daily intake for Vitamin B12 varies by age and individual needs:

•  Adults: 2.4 mcg per day
• Pregnant Women: 2.6 mcg per day
• Breastfeeding Women: 2.8 mcg per day

For those with a deficiency, healthcare providers may recommend higher doses. You can get Vitamin B12 from various food sources like meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and fortified cereals, but supplements are a convenient way to ensure you meet your daily needs.
