A vitamin found in meat (particularly liver, kidney and heart), eggs, fish, cheese and milk. It is necessary for the healthy development of red blood cells. If you have had your stomach removed (gastrectomy), you must have vitamin B12 injections to stop you developing pernicious anaemia. See Pernicious anaemia, Red Blood Cells.
Vitamins B12, A, D, E and K along with calcium and a lactose-free diet are often recommended by clinicians treating IBS.
A chemical substance found almost exclusively in meats that is necessary for certain chemical processes in the body, including the ongoing production of red blood cells.
generic name for a group of cobalt-containing biologically active cobalamins; required as a coenzyme for thymidylate synthetase and methionine synthase activity.
As A Treatment"...of Vitamin B12 Those who don't like taking supplements can eat fortified foods, including fortified soy milks and rice milks, breakfast cereals, fake meats, sea weeds, one type of nutritional yeast (Red Star Brand Vegetarian Support Formula) and so on..."
Cobalamin-containing molecule in diet; important for maturation of red blood cells. Needs intrinsic factor from gastric mucosa for adequate absorption. See intrinsic factor.
or cobalamin, unlike the other water-soluble B vitamins, is actually stored well in the body. The adult RDA is 2 mcg. B12 is found in animal products like meat, milk, and eggs. Vegetarian sources can provide some B12 (principally tempeh, sea vegetables, brewer's yeast, and mushrooms), but are unreliable, and strict vegetarians are at risk of deficiency. B12 aids in energy production from fats and carbohydrates and in the production of amino acids. It also plays a role in nerve building; deficiency causes neurological problems and confusion, depression, and memory loss. B12 deficiency in the elderly has been linked to Alzheimer's disease. B12 supplementation helps treat fatigue (even with no evidence of a deficiency), depression, and infertility. Some conditions respond only to injected B12, available from medical practitioners. B12 comes in capsules.
Member of the water soluble B vitamin group, important in the proper function of the nervous system and important in proper carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism.
A coenzyme needed for fat and carbohydrate metabolism. It is involved in all immune responses. Energizes, relieves fatigue, depression, hangover and poor concentration.
Water Needed for: growth & development; production of red blood cells in bone marrow; utilisation of folic acid & carbohydrates; functioning of nervous system Liver, kidney, chicken, beef, pork, fish, eggs, milk, cheese & enriched cereals
Vitamin B12's primary functions are in the formation of red blood cells and the maintenence of a healthy nervous system. B12 is necessary for the rapid synthesis of DNA during cell division
A vitamin that performs a wide variety of functions in your body. It is naturally found in animal foods including fish, milk and milk products, eggs, meat, and poultry. The B12 used in SoBe products is not derived from animals.
Vitamin B12 is required for DNA and energy. Current research shows B12 may is linked to homocysteine levels in the body which are linked to heart diseases and stroke. Found in liver, eggs, milk and shellfish.
A vitamin important for the normal formation of red blood cells and the health of the nerve tissues. Undetected and untreated vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia and permanent nerve and brain damage. See the entire definition of Vitamin B12
Important for metabolism regulation and red blood cell production; helps maintain a healthy central nervous system.
a vitamin that is essential to the production of DNA (the genetic material in cells) and red blood cells and in the functioning of the nervous system
is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for normal metabolism of nerve tissues and is active in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. B12 improves the functions of iron in the metabolic cycle and assists Folic Acid in the synthesis of choline. It also plays an important role in the production of DNA and RNA, the genetic material of living cells. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that maintains skin integrity, helps heal wounds and is important in immune functions. Vitamin C is a redox agent. It acts as an antioxidant in some cases, and an oxidant in others. As an antioxidant, it helps to prevent cell damage by neutralizing "free radicals." Free radicals cause damage to cells. Some studies have shown that people who eat foods high in Vitamin C have lower rates of cancer and heart disease. It is not clear if taking Vitamin C supplements produces similar benefits. However a 2001 study indicates that supplementation with Vitamin C, certain other antioxidants and Zinc may slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration. This combination of ingredients is in our Renew+ formula.
Generic term describing all corrinoids with biological activity of cyanocobalamin. Required by all cells for nuclear maturation and cell division but required particularly for erythropoiesis. The vitamin is produced by ruminants who require only cobalt in sufficient quantities in their diet.
An essential nutrient that is part of the "B-complex" family. Also known as cobalamin, vitamin B12 helps in the development and maintenance of nerves. B12 is needed to prevent anemia and aids folic acid in regulating red blood cells and helps in the utilization of iron.
As A Treatment" Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is an oxygen carrier; it decreases blood cholesterol; it metabolizes fat..."
(Cobalamin) Vitamin B12 helps in the formation regeneration of red blood cells, thus helping prevent anemia; necessary for carbohydrate, fat protein metabolism; maintains a healthy nervous system; promotes growth in children; increases energy; needed for Calcium absorption.
This vitamin acts as a coenzyme for fat and carbohydrate metabolism, and therefore promotes normal growth and development. It is also involved in the production of myelin, which is the sheath of 'insulation' that covers nerves. This vitamin is only present in animal products, so those following a vegan diet need to supplement it.
A water-soluble vitamin, part of the vitamin B complex. It is necessary for making red blood cells and DNA. A lack of vitamin B12 in the diet affects nearly all body tissues, with some of the most serious affects being on the nervous system. It is found in eggs, meat, poultry, shellfish, milk, and milk products.
As A Treatment"...Long-term B12 Supplementation B12 supplementation is especially important for those who consume few or no animal products - vegetarians, vegans and raw-food vegans/fruitarians..."
A B vitamin charachterized by the presence of cobalt. The active forms of coenzyme B12 are methylcobalamin and deoxyadenosylcobalamin.
