Vitamin B12 – Important for Energy and Blood Formation

Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin involved in numerous metabolic processes.

It is required for the normal formation of red blood cells and, together with folate, plays an important role in cell division.

Furthermore, vitamin B12 supports the normal function of the nervous system and contributes to normal psychological function.

Inadequate vitamin B12 intake can cause tiredness, anemia, and neurological symptoms, among other things.

Vitamin B12 in Vegetarian and Vegan Diets

Vitamin B12 is found in significant amounts mainly in animal-derived foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.

Therefore, a reliable supply through fortified foods or dietary supplements is necessary in a vegan diet.

Adequate vitamin B12 intake should also be ensured in a vegetarian diet.

Vitamin B12 Absorption in Older Adults

The body can store vitamin B12 for extended periods, particularly in the liver.

However, absorption from food may be limited with increasing age. Certain gastrointestinal disorders and the use of medications such as metformin or proton pump inhibitors can also affect vitamin B12 supply.

If a deficiency is suspected, a corresponding laboratory test may be useful.

Methylcobalamin – The Biologically Active Form of Vitamin B12

Pure Encapsulations® Vitamin B12 contains methylcobalamin, a natural and biologically active form of vitamin B12.

Methylcobalamin is involved in normal homocysteine metabolism, among other things.

The formulation is vegan and free from unnecessary additives.
