Vitamin B12 is an essential water soluble vitamin that is commonly found in a variety of foods such as fish, shellfish, meats, and dairy products.
Vitamin B12 is frequently used in combination with other B vitamins in a vitamin B complex formulation.
It helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells, and is also needed to make DNA, the genetic material in all cells.

Vitamin B12 is bound to the protein in food. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach releases B12 from protein during digestion. Once released, B12 combines with a substance called intrinsic factor (IF) before it is absorbed into the bloodstream.

The human body stores several years' worth of vitamin B12, so nutritional deficiency of this vitamin is extremely rare.

A day's supply of vitamin B12 can be obtained by eating 1 chicken breast (0.6mcg) plus 1 hard-boiled egg (0.55mcg) plus 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt (1.37mcg) or 1 cup milk (0.92mcg) plus 1 cup raisin bran (1.64mcg).
