Vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, is a water-soluble B vitamin important for carbohydrate metabolism and energy production. This nutrient plays a part in neurological activity, including DNA replication, and aids in the production of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe), which may have benefits for joints and healthy mood. B12 may also contribute to healthy homocysteine levels and cardiovascular health. NSI Vitamin B12 is provided in the superior methylcobalamin form, the only B12 that can be used by the central nervous system.

Vitamin B12 is necessary for the formation of red blood cells, which are linked to energy levels, with deficiencies being associated with fatigue. As this nutrient is vital for carbohydrate metabolism and energy production, vitamin B12 is a welcome addition to any weight maintenance program.

Vitamin B12 may also provide support for the cardiovascular system. Together with vitamin B6 and folic acid, B12 helps support healthy levels of homocysteine, an amino acid found in the blood. Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with increased cardiovascular risk.

Smaller amounts of B12 are found in common foods. However, individuals following vegan diets and those with malabsorption conditions, including tapeworm infestation and bacterial overgrowth in the intestines, may suffer from vitamin B12 deficiencies. In these cases, additional supplementation may be necessary.

NSI Vitamin B12 is provided in the superior methylcobalamin form. This supplement is also available in a 5 mg (5,000 mcg) dose with 100 capsules per bottle.
