1.What is VB12?
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin involved in metabolism. It is one of eight B vitamins. It is required by animals, which use it as a cofactor in DNA synthesis, in both fatty acid and amino acid metabolism. It is important in the normal functioning of the nervous system via its role in the synthesis of myelin, and in the circulatory system in the maturation of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Plants do not need cobalamin and carry out the reactions with enzymes that are not dependent on it.
2.How VB12 works?
Vitamin B12 performs a variety of important functions in the body: it can help to reduce tiredness and fatigue and to maintain normal energy metabolism, it contributes to the normal functioning of the psyche as well as the immune and nervous systems, it plays a role in the formation of red blood cells (also known as erythropoiesis) and it supports normal homocysteine metabolism, as well as being required in the process of cell division. Vitamin B12 also acts as a coenzyme in the body. This means that certain enzymes in our body require B12 in order to fulfil their tasks. In other words, many enzymatic reactions are directly dependent on vitamin B12 and cannot take place without it.
