Vitamin B12 Articles

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble nutrient your body needs to make red blood cells, maintain nerve function, and convert food into energy. Most people get B12 from animal products like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy, though some plant foods are fortified with it. Your body stores B12 in the liver, so deficiency develops slowly—but when it does, it can cause fatigue, numbness, and cognitive changes that may become permanent if left untreated.

These articles explain how B12 works in your body, which groups of people are at higher risk for deficiency, what symptoms to watch for, and how different sources and supplements compare. You'll learn what blood tests measure, why some people absorb B12 poorly, and what the research shows about B12 and energy, aging, and neurological health.
