Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential vitamin that plays an important role in the body.
It is necessary for the formation of red blood cells, DNA synthesis and the proper functioning of the nervous system.
As the body cannot produce vitamin B12 itself, it must be obtained from food.
Vitamin B12 is crucial for many vital functions:
A vitamin B12 deficiency can occur in the following situations in particular:
A vitamin B12 deficiency can cause serious health problems, including
A lack of red blood cells leads to tiredness, weakness and paleness.
Low levels of vitamin B12 can cause nerve damage, which can lead to tingling, numbness and difficulty walking.
A deficiency can also lead to memory loss, confusion and dementia.
An overdose of vitamin B12 is rare as excess vitamin B12 is normally excreted in the urine.
Nevertheless, it is important to monitor the intake and ensure that the dosage is appropriate.
Vitamin B12 levels are usually determined by a blood test in which the concentration of total vitamin B12 in the blood is measured.
In some cases, holotranscobalamin, the active form of vitamin B12, is also measured to obtain a more accurate picture of B12 status.
