What is Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin/cyanocobalamin) is the largest and most complex of all the vitamins. It comprises the only cobalt-containing molecules (so-called ‘cobalamins’) associated with biological activity in humans. The cobalt gives this water-soluble vitamin its distinctive red color.
Vitamin B12 is produced exclusively by the microbial synthesis in the digestive tract of animals. Animal protein products, in particular, organ meats (eg liver, kidney), are the primary source of vitamin B12 in the human diet. Other good sources are fish, eggs and dairy products.
The main material vitamin B12 used in supplements is cyanocobalamin, available in the form of injections and as a nasal gel for the treatment of pernicious anaemia. Cyanocobalamin is also available in tablet and oral liquid form for vitamin B-complex, multivitamin and vitamin B12 supplements.
What to know about Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin/cyanocobalamin) is especially important to fortify products aimed at people with a low dietary intake, such as vegans. A sufficient intake of vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is important as it helps the body to convert food into glucose, which is used to produce energy; maintain healthy nerve cells; produce nucleic acids (DNA), the body’s genetic material; and regulate, together with vitamin B9 (folate), the formation of red blood cells; control, together with vitamin B6 and vitamin B9, blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine.
Vitamin B12 is widely used as a way to enrich cereal products and certain beverages. ‘Dietetic’ foods such as slimming foods and infant formulas are often fortified with vitamins, including B12. Fortification with vitamin B12 is especially important for products aimed at people with a low dietary intake, such as vegetarians and vegans, people on antacid medications, and the elderly.
