The Benefits of Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is also known as cobalamin. It is an essential vitamin that impacts many areas of your health, including your eyes, bones, and skin, as well as brain function. However, it is not a substance that the human body can produce. While it is found naturally in some animal products, it is commonly added to some foods or ascertained via an oral supplement or injection. The daily recommended allowance for B12 is 2.4 micrograms, but that amount increases for those who are pregnant or nursing.

The Many Functions of B12 In Your Body

You will quickly discover that B12 works in a vast number of ways within the human body to ensure proper function in many areas, including:

  • The formation of red blood cells that prevent anemia - when you have anemia, you suffer from an inability of your blood cells to transport enough oxygen throughout your body. The result is feeling weak or fatigued constantly. 
  • The prevention of birth issues and premature birth or pregnancy loss
  • Preventing osteoporosis and increasing bone health 
  • Preventing macular degeneration, which is a common and progressive eye disorder – this disease robs you of the ability to see what is directly in front of you. While you will not be totally blind, the only vision that remains will be peripheral or what is off to the side of where you are facing.
  • Impact on mood and prevention of depression most commonly related to stress
  • A lack of B12 has been found to increase the potential for brain and memory issues. The use of B12 in early-stage dementia patients helped slow their cognitive decline but was not able to reverse the damage.
  • Increased energy levels from the use of B12 make perfect sense as the blood cells are capable of delivering the optimal amount of oxygen to the various areas of the body. 
  • Increased skin, hair, and nail health is common after a B12 treatment. The vitamin helps to stave off nail discoloration, hair loss or changes in hair health, and loss of skin color. There could also be a noticeable decline in canker sores on the cheeks, lips, mouth, and tongue.
