Nature Made Vitamin B-12 -- 500 mcg - 100 Tablets
Nature Made Vitamin B-12 is recommended as part of a daily regimen for health, stress, heart strength, mood, energy, and fitness. Vitamin B-12, or cobalamin, is involved in several body processes and works very closely with folic acid, another B vitamin. They both synthesize DNA and manufacture red blood cells. Vitamin B-12 also contributes to the proper functioning of our nervous system, which is why a B-12 deficiency can impair nerve function, characterized by tingling sensations and numbness.A B-12 deficiency can also cause impaired mental function, and is thought to be a major cause of depression among the elderly. A deficiency in vitamin B-12 may be mistaken for dementia-like symptoms or depression, and patients may end up being mistreated--one of many reasons people over the age of 50 are advised to supplement their diets with B-12. Folic acid may mask the symptoms of a B-12 deficiency, so it's recommended that people take vitamin B-12 and folic acid together. Vitamin B-12 may also play a significant role in heart health by helping keep homocysteine levels down in the blood.* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
