Bioactive form of B12
Dietary supplement
Vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin. It supports the health of nerves and blood cells and also plays a role in DNA synthesis. Although we usually obtain it from animal or fortified foods, age-related digestive problems can affect absorption. Maintain healthy levels with B12 supplements. 

Vegetarians and elderly people are typically those who most often face challenges in maintaining healthy vitamin B12 levels. 

Benefits of vitamin B12 
Helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels (a marker of cardiovascular, neurological, and overall health) 
Supports brain health and cognition 
Important for red blood cell production
Vitamin B12 is found in animal products, including dairy and eggs. Vegetarians and older adults are especially susceptible to a deficiency of this important nutrient, which may be caused by low dietary intake, insufficient bioavailability, or poor B12 absorption. Age-related reduction in hydrochloric acid production can also affect B12 bioavailability.

B12 supplement
To overcome barriers to vitamin B12 absorption, in 1998 the Institute of Medicine recommended that older adults consume foods fortified with vitamin B12 (such as fortified ready-to-eat breakfast cereals) and supplements containing vitamin B12 to help meet the need for B12.

Recent studies show that taking B12 supplements, even in moderate doses, can improve both B12 and folate status in older people.

Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, works synergistically with vitamin B6 and folic acid to convert homocysteine into the amino acid methionine. This helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels, a novel marker of cardiovascular, neurological, and overall health.
