Description
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is found naturally in foods of animal origin, such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
It is fundamental in the synthesis of hemoglobin and the production of red blood cells, and helps in the maintenance of the central nervous system.
It regulates and prevents excess homocysteine in the blood, an excess of which can cause strokes or heart attacks, and like other B vitamins, it is essential for protein synthesis.
Because vitamin B12 plays such important roles and is found in animal products, vegetarians and vegans should take supplements to avoid deficiency. People with leaky gut, poor gut flora, those taking antacids, and those undergoing chemotherapy, among other conditions, often experience vitamin B12 absorption problems and, consequently, a deficiency.
These essential functions include, among others:
- Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy metabolism
- Vitamin B12 contributes to normal psychological function
- Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal function of the immune system
- Vitamin B12 helps reduce tiredness and fatigue
- Vitamin B12 contributes to the process of cell division
The symptoms of this deficiency are primarily the following
- Numbness or tingling in hands, legs, or fingers
- Anemia
- Difficulty walking, feeling of instability
- Yellowish skin
- swollen tongue
- Chronic pain
- Nervous disorders
- Hallucinations
As a water-soluble vitamin, vitamin B12 is easily absorbed and any excess is eliminated through urine and/or sweat.
Vitamin B12 supplements are usually available in the form of methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin. Both are very well absorbed, but cyanocobalamin—the form used in Green Tree Vitamin B12—is the most stable, most studied, and safest.
Herbolario S. Mediterránea Vitamin B12 is derived from fermented corn. It is suitable for vegans and gluten-free.
