Cobalamin

 
Description

Vitamin B₁₂, or cobalamin, is a water soluble nutrient found in many foods and supplements. Your body does not manufacture B₁₂ and it must be obtained from your diet.

This nutrient promotes iron utilization in the body, prevents anemia, and helps folic acid regulate red blood formation. Cobalamin is important for protein synthesis and carbohydrate and fat metabolism.

B₁₂ prevents nerve damage and helps maintain a healthy nervous system. It is important for the maintenance of myelin sheaths that wrap around nerve endings. This vitamin also boosts energy levels.
