Nature Made Vitamin B-12 (Vitamin B12) 500 mcg - 300 Tablets

Vitamin B-12 (Vitamin B12), or cobalamin, is involved in many body processes and works very closely with another B vitamin, folic acid. They both work to synthesize DNA in our body and manufacture red blood cells.

Vitamin B-12 (Vitamin B12) is also necessary for the proper functioning of our nervous system. Therefore, if a Vitamin B-12 deficiency occurs, nerve function can become impaired and characterized by tingling sensations and numbness. A Vitamin B-12 deficiency can also cause impaired mental function.

A deficiency in Vitamin B-12 (Vitamin B12) is thought to be quite common among the elderly, and it is a major cause of depression among this age group. In addition, as we age, we have a lower amount of stomach acid secreted that is necessary for Vitamin B-12 (Vitamin B12) absorption. Vitamin B-12 (Vitamin B12) deficiency is again likely among the elderly population, since we loose the ability to absorb nutrients as we age. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that people over the age of 50 consume a B12 supplement.

A deficiency in Vitamin B-12 (Vitamin B-12) may also be mistaken for dementia-like symptoms or depression, and patients may end up being mistreated. Folic acid may also mask the symptoms of a B12 deficiency, so it is recommended that Vitamin B-12 (Vitamin B12) and folic acid are taken together.

In addition, Vitamin B-12 (Vitamin B12) may also play a significant role in heart health. It does so by helping to keep homocysteine levels down in the blood. Homocysteine is a substance that formed when Vitamin B-12 (Vitamin B-12) and folic acid levels are low, and research has indicated it may be a possible risk factor for heart health.

Vitamin B-12 (Vitamin B12) is recommended as part of a daily regimen for Women's Health, Stress, Heart Health, Mood/Emotional Well-Being, Energy, Fitness.
