TJ Clark - Vitamin B12 Liquid

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble B vitamin and may also be known as Cobalamin because it contains cobalt. The form of B12 most commonly used in dietary supplements is called Cyanocobalamin. B12 is only produced by bacteria, so it is only found in food products of animal origin and in some fermented vegetable products such as tempeh and miso (fermented soybeans).

Vitamin B-12 functions to provide a methyl group that is used in the synthesis of a number of products during biochemical reactions. Clinically, cyanocobalamin works to promote normal growth and development, helps with certain types of nerve damage, and treats pernicious anemia.

B12 works closely with another B vitamin, folic acid, in reactions involved with DNA synthesis, blood cell formation, and nervous system maintenance and heart health. If that weren’t enough, B12 is also involved in the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

Symptoms associated with a deficiency of vitamin B-12 are primarily those of pernicious anemia.
