Vitamin B-12 (Cyanocobalamin) is a water soluble vitamin necessary for
the maintenance of a healthy nervous system and for the metabolic
utilization of fats and proteins. Vitamin B-12 is also essential for the
synthesis of DNA during cell division and therefore is especially
important for rapidly multiplying cells, such as blood cells. In
addition, adequate intake of Vitamin B-12, along with Folic Acid and
Vitamin B-6, encourages healthy serum homocysteine levels, thereby
supporting cardiovascular health. Because Vitamin B-12 is found
predominantly in animal products, strict vegetarians are at risk of
developing Vitamin B-12 deficiency and may benefit from supplementation.
