February Healthy Living Article - The Importance of Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12, like all vitamins, is an organic compound that is essential for our normal metabolic function and overall health. B12 is a water soluble vitamin and so very little is stored by the body so it is important to make sure you are getting an adequate amount in your diet. Also, because of this, B12 deficiency is commonly under diagnosed. Here is a quick list of some of the important effects B12 has on your health:- B12 is required for DNA synthesis
- B12 helps regulate fatty acid synthesis and energy production
- B12 is essential for the production of red blood cells
- B12 plays important role in functioning of brain and nervous system
Vitamin B12 is found in supplements in 3 different forms, cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin. Cyanocobalamin is found most commonly in supplements but is the least absorbed and also releases a small amount of cyanide as a byproduct. Methylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamine release no cyanide and are much better absorbed by the body.
The two purest forms available on the market are AOR's Hydroxy-B12 and Natural Factors methylcobalamin. For instructions on how much and how often to take Vitamin B12 supplements, come in to see one of your pharmacists at Delta Prescription.
