B-12 is a water-soluble vitamin, which plays many roles in our bodies and in our overall health.
B-12 is required for proper red blood cell formation, neurological functioning and DNA synthesis. It keeps your nerve cells strong, can reduce stress, and works against fatigue. It is known best for its ability to boost energy.
At the ages of 14 years and older, males and females are recommended to get 240 mcg of vitamin B-12 daily, according to the National Institute of Health.
B-12 is found naturally in animal products: fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and milk. If you are not able to get enough B-12 through your diet, supplementation is recommended. B-12 is available for purchase in a capsule, pill, or liquid (sub-lingual) form. B-12 shots are also given at doctor's offices with a doctor's order. For insurance to pay for the shot, you must have a diagnosis of a B-12 deficiency. B-12 shots work by going directly into your bloodstream.
No matter the form of B-12, making sure to get plenty of it is crucial to our health and well-being.
