VITAMIN B12

VITAMIN B12 is known as cobalamin which plays an important role in DNA production as well as keeping the nerve and blood cells healthy. It is used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, high cholesterol, sickle cell disease, heart disease, fatigue, breast cancer, vitamin B12 deficiency and anemia. Moreover, it helps to lower the blood homocysteine level which may be related to heart diseases and thus reduce the risk of having heart attacks, strokes and blood clots. Vitamin B12 in conjunction with folic acid also reduces the risk of having age-related macular degeneration.
