What is it?
Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps maintain healthy brain cells and blood. It also contributes to the formation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the genetic material present in all cells. It also helps prevent megaloblastic anemia, a blood disorder that causes fatigue and weakness.
Vitamin B12 is found naturally in animal foods, such as fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and dairy products. Vitamin B12 is generally not present in plant foods. Fortified breakfast cereals are a readily available source of vitamin B12.
What are the symptoms?
Vitamin B12 deficiency occurs when the body does not receive or cannot absorb the amount of vitamin the body needs.
Low levels of vitamin B12 can cause:
- Anemia
- Loss of balance
- Numbness or tingling in arms and legs
- Weakness
- Dementia due to metabolic causes
Who is it for?
The study is indicated for all people who care about their health and well-being, and want to keep track of their body.
- Especially indicated for people who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, as they do not eat foods of animal origin that provide a large amount of vitamins.
- People who feel low in energy during their daily life.
The study of vitamin B12 is the perfect complement to the vitamin study.
