Vitamin B12
Vitamin B-12 is a water soluble vitamin, is unique in being the first cobalt-containing substance found to be essential for longevity, and is the only vitamin that contains essential mineral elements. The cobalt gives it its dark red colour. Vitamin B-12 and folic acid share a special relationship to cell division work. Vitamin B-12 has been known as the energiser (if already deficient, under stress, fatigued, or recovering from illness).
Vitamin B-12 is necessary for normal metabolism of nerve tissue and is involved in protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. It is closely related to the actions of four amino acids, pantothenic acid and vitamin c. It also helps iron function better in the body and aids folic acid in the synthesis of choline. B12 helps the placement of vitamin A into body tissues by aiding carotene absorption or vitamin A conversion. It also aids in the production of DNA RNA, the body's genetic material.
Vitamin B-12 has been used in these conditions: Pernicious anaemia, nervous system disturbances, chronic fatigue, diabetes, cold sores and shingles, faster recovery from viral and bacterial diseases, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, increased nervous irritability, mild impairment in memory, inability to concentrate, mental depression, insomnia, lack of balance, improved growth rate in children, bruising, hangovers.
