NOW FOODS Vitamin B12 was discovered in 1948 and is the last of the true vitamins to be identified. Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble, B-Complex Vitamin. It was known as the "wonder" vitamin and is important in many ways. Cobalamin helps maintain the mylelin sheath that surrounds the nerves. It is needed for the production of red blood cells, and the metabolism of fatty acids, carbohydrates and proteins. Cobalamin is essential for growth in children and is thought to boost energy levels. B12 is not found in vegetables, with the exception of brewer's yeast. Natural sources of B12 include eggs, milk, cheese, liver, and beef. Vitamin B12 is not considered toxic and is typically supplemented at dosages ranging between 5mcg and 50mcg. Supplementation may be most important for vegetarians, heavy drinkers, smokers, pregnant women, the elderly, and those taking ulcer medications. Deficiency Vitamin B12 deficiency can produce the following symptoms: anemia (large doses of folic acid can mask the symptoms of pernicious anemia), menstrual problems, mental problems, tiredness, and trembling. Supplement Vitamin B12 as a supplement may produce benefits in the following: concentration, energy levels, memory, mood elevation, and paranoia control Details: Vitamin B-12 plays a role in the activation of amino acids during protein formation as well as in carbohydrate and fat metabolism.
