About B12

Why Vitamin B12?

After water and oxygen, vitamin B12 is the next essential micronutrient molecule vital for health.

Vitamin B12 is crucial for many systems of the body to function correctly.

Pernicious anaemia is just one illness related to a deficiency in vitamin B12.

It is believed that vitamin B12 deficiency is not always detectable on blood tests.

Symptoms such as depression, anxiety and psychosis as well as the early onset of dementia are common with vitamin B12 deficiency.

Causes of B12 deficiency include genetic disorders, poor diet, gastrointestinal illness or surgery, alcoholism and use of antacids.

Vitamin B12 is non-toxic – even at really high doses.

B12 is responsible for:

Manufacture and normal function of blood cells.

It rapidly divides all cells from epithelial cells to bone marrow cells.

Energy production through the Krebs Cycle.

Metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.

Nerve cell conduction.

Neurotransmitters.

Endocrine systems.

Immune systems.

Conversion of homocysteine to methionine, then to SAMe (mood enhancing) and amino acids, with effects on many metabolic processes.

Correct synthesis and transcription of DNA.

Removal of toxins.
