Vitamin B-12 (cobalamin) is a water soluble vitamin necessary for the maintenance of a healthy nervous system and for the production of energy from 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.* While B-12 is stored in the liver dietary sources are of animal origin only (meat and dairy). Therefore supplementation with B-12 may be especially important for strict vegetarians. This product provides vitamin B-12 in three forms including the two readily available and activated co-enzyme forms methylcobalamin and dibencozide. Natural color variation may occur in this product.
