Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin for the metabolism of human tissues. The average total amount of vitamin B12 in the human body is 2-5mg, of which 50-90% is stored in the liver and released into the blood to form red blood cells when the body needs it. Long-term deficiency of B12 can lead to pernicious anemia. B12 and folic acid are important dining-oxiding enzymes in the process of cell synthesis of nucleic acids, and participate in the synthesis of purines, pyrimidines, nucleic acids and methionine; and can transfer methyl groups, and promote the synthesis of Dan base; At the same time, it can increase the synthesis of glycogen, thereby eliminating liver fat. The hydroxycobalamin in vitamin B12 reacts with cyanide to form cyanocobalamic acid, thereby eliminating the toxicity of cyanide. Therefore, vitamin B12 deficient people are more sensitive to cyanide than the general population.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia and neurological disorders. Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) is mainly used for the treatment of megaloblastic anemia, poor nutrition, blood loss anemia, neuralgia and disorders.

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is an essential water-soluble vitamin with several critical functions in the body. Its primary applications include:
### **1. Red Blood Cell Formation & Anemia Prevention**
- Vital for **DNA synthesis** and red blood cell production.
- Deficiency can lead to **megaloblastic anemia** (large, immature red blood cells) or **pernicious anemia** (due to lack of intrinsic factor for B12 absorption).
### **2. Nervous System Support**
- Maintains **myelin sheath** (protective nerve coating), preventing nerve damage.
- Deficiency can cause **neuropathy** (tingling, numbness), balance issues, and cognitive decline.
### **3. Energy Metabolism**
- Helps convert food into **glucose** for energy, reducing fatigue and weakness.
### **4. Brain Function & Mental Health**
- Supports memory, focus, and mood regulation.
- Low B12 is linked to **depression, dementia, and Alzheimer’s risk**.
### **5. Heart Health**
- Works with **folate (B9)** to lower **homocysteine levels**, reducing cardiovascular disease risk.
### **6. Prenatal Health**
- Crucial for **fetal brain and spinal cord development**.
- Deficiency in pregnancy may lead to neural tube defects.
### **7. Supports Bone Health**
- Studies suggest a link between B12 deficiency and **osteoporosis**.
### **Sources of Vitamin B12**
- **Animal-based**: Meat, fish, eggs, dairy.
- **Fortified foods**: Cereals, plant-based milk (for vegans).
- **Supplements**: Cyanocobalamin (synthetic) or methylcobalamin (active form).
### **Who Needs Supplementation?**
- **Vegans/vegetarians** (B12 is mostly in animal products).
- **Older adults** (reduced stomach acid impairs absorption).
- **People with digestive disorders** (celiac disease, Crohn’s).
- **Post-bariatric surgery patients**.
### **Deficiency Symptoms**
- Fatigue, pale skin, dizziness.
- Nerve pain, memory problems.
- Depression, confusion.
### **Treatment for Deficiency**
- **Oral supplements** or **intramuscular injections** (for severe cases).
