vitaminból

Vitaminból, also known as vitamin B12, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the human body. It plays a crucial role in the formation of red blood cells, the functioning of the nervous system, and the metabolism of proteins and fats. Vitamin B12 is primarily obtained through dietary sources such as animal products, including meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. It is also found in fortified cereals and nutritional yeast. Deficiencies in vitamin B12 can lead to various health issues, including anemia, neurological problems, and cognitive decline. The recommended daily intake of vitamin B12 for adults is 2.4 micrograms, with higher amounts recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Vitamin B12 is synthesized by certain bacteria in the gut, which is why vegans and vegetarians may require dietary supplementation or fortified foods to meet their needs. Synthetic forms of vitamin B12 are also available for medical use and supplementation.
