Description
Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin
Vitamin B12, scientifically termed cyanocobalamin, stands out as a crucial water-soluble nutrient essential for nerve growth and metabolism. Belonging to the cobalamin group, it is among the vital organic compounds the body requires. Abundant in animal-derived foods like milk, meat, and eggs, Vitamin B12 plays a pivotal role alongside Vitamins B6 and C, known for its unique capacity for significant storage within the body.
Acting as a catalyst for essential enzymes, it holds particular significance in energy metabolism and DNA synthesis. However, a deficiency in Vitamin B12 can lead to severe consequences affecting red blood cells, the heart, and the nervous system. Of notable concern is its impact on homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism and the body’s methylation reactions.
