Détails du produit
Vitamin B12 is an essential water-soluble vitamin commonly found in a variety of foods such as fish, shellfish, meat, and dairy products, but is deficient in the typical vegetarian diet. B12 helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells and is also required to make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. B12 combines with a substance called intrinsic factor (IF) before it is absorbed into the bloodstream. The elderly are often affeted by an inability to absorb vitamin B12 from the intestinal tract. Strict vegetarians or vegans who are not taking in proper amounts of B12 are also prone to deficiency. Vitamin B12 is used to manage B12 deficiency states, including megaloblastic anemia. Studies have also shown abnormal neurologic and psychiatric symptoms can be caused by a deficiency of vitamin B12. Supplementation with B12 has shown benefit in reversing impaired mental function in the elderly with low levels of vitamin B12. Brain B-12 contains only the methylcobalamin form of B12 known as the coenzyme form. Methylcobalamin is considered an enhanced form of B12 and is the same form found in natural food supplies. It is believed to be a much more active and bioavailable form of this vitamin. Other forms of vitamin B12 require a methyl donor in order to be converted into a biologically active form in the blood.
