Vitamin B12 also known as cobalamin contributes to normal red blood cell formation, is involved in energy metabolism and plays a role in the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
It also helps to support the functioning of the immune and nervous systems.
The deficiency of vitamin B12 leads to pernicious anemia.
Stomach acid is needed to release cobalamin from foods so anyone with low stomach acid or who is taking antacid medication should consider supplementation.
cobalamin is primarily found in animal-derived foods such as beef, salmon, milk and yogurt.
