Country Life VITAMIN B12 1000 60 Tablets

Vitamin B-12 1,000 mcg

Vitamin B12 is essential for healthy nerve tissue, brain function, and red blood cells. When the body doesn’t have enough B12, it leads to decreased normal red blood cell production (anemia), which impairs oxygen delivery.

B12 is mainly found in animal products. Good sources of this vitamin include:

• Beef
• Pork
• Poultry
• Lamb
• Fish
• Milk
• Cheese
• Yogurt
• Eggs
• Some yeast products

Individuals who don’t get enough B12 through diet alone may need to take a daily B vitamin supplement. Those with a B12 deficiency or an increased risk of developing B12 deficiency, such as older adults or those on vegan diets, may also need to take a supplement.

Vitamin B12 is crucial to various bodily processes, including:

• Optimal functioning of the brain and nervous system
• Cognitive functioning
• Energy production
• Formation of red blood cells and anemia prevention
• Helping create and regulate DNA
