Vitamin B12 benefits

Cardiovascular system. Reduces the level of cholesterol and homocysteine that can cause heart attack. Required for production of red blood cells.

Synthesis of DNA/RNA. Many factors can affect DNA/RNA replication, like toxins, free radicals, high blood sugar level, and high levels of omega-6 fats. Vitamin B12 helps to replicate correctly. DNA/RNA provides support to the body’s neurological functions.

Nervous system. Nerves are encased in an insulating sheath, which is made of a protein known as myelin. Vitamin B12 is critical for maintaining this myelin sheath around nerves.

Metabolism. It is necessary for folic acid absorption and helps to release energy for proper cell functioning.
