What is vitamin B12?
Methylcobalamin is the active form of vitamin B12, which is necessary for cellular health and cell replication. It is involved in DNA synthesis and is key to maintaining healthy levels of homocysteine, a marker of cardiovascular, neurological and general health. Although we get it mainly from animal sources such as meat, fish and dairy products, additional intake through supplements can be essential, especially for vegetarians and older adults.
Benefits of taking vitamin B12
- Maintaining healthy homocysteine levels: Homocysteine is an amino acid that, when high levels in the blood are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke. Vitamin B12 plays a key role in homocysteine metabolism, helping to reduce its levels and protect the cardiovascular system.
- Supports Brain Health: Vitamin B12 is essential for nervous system health and cognitive function. It is involved in the formation of the myelin sheath around nerve cells, which is essential for the speed and efficiency of nerve impulses. Thus, vitamin B12 supports brain health, memory, concentration, and mental clarity.
- Red blood cell production: Vitamin B12 plays a key role in the synthesis of DNA, which is necessary for the formation of new red blood cells. Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen to all tissues in the body and removing carbon dioxide from them. Maintaining normal levels of red blood cells is essential for maintaining energy metabolism and overall health.
Getting enough of this vitamin through food or supplements is essential for maintaining optimal health and well-being.
