Vitamin B12Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the production of red blood cells, the synthesis of DNA, and the healthy functioning of the nervous system. It also supports brain function and energy metabolism. The body cannot make B12 on its own and relies on dietary sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. Excess B12 is stored in the liver, so deficiency can take time to develop but may lead to serious health issues if not addressed.
