Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin 1000mcg 60 tablets

But what is special about Yamamoto® Research Vitamin B12?

Yamamoto®'s mission is to create supplements that are of the highest scientific efficacy, and in this case too we wanted to offer a "plus". It is called " methylcobalamin ", and it is a methylated and significantly more absorbable form of cobalamin (vitamin B12), with the result that taking even a smaller dosage will result in greater bioavailability, reaching "its destination" where it is needed.

Maintaining adequate levels of this cobalamin, or vitamin B12, will result in its maximum expression, supporting the nervous, immune, and circulatory systems. Because of its direct delivery to the brain, this supplement can help boost mental functions such as memory and attention, improving overall well-being. This quickly explains why these supplements are called "tonics."

Methylcobalamin has also been noted to indirectly help regulate sleep cycles and the body's circadian rhythms. Another very interesting and important benefit of an adequate intake of this methylcobalamin compound is that it can help protect the body from harmful toxins. The presence of choline bitartrate and inositol will further support liver function, the important detoxification processes (from methylation) that the B complex assists, and the metabolism of fats and cholesterol.

Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin that our body cannot produce and must be obtained from our diet. It is a water-soluble vitamin and part of the B group of vitamins. Its complex structure is characterized, at the center, by the presence of a cobalt atom, hence its name "cobalamin."

It is commonly found in very small amounts in a variety of animal-based foods, such as fish, shellfish, meat (especially red meat), and dairy products. Physiologically, vitamin B12 plays very important roles in the proper functioning of our body, helping maintain healthy and efficient nerve cells and red blood cells, and is necessary for the synthesis of DNA, our genetic material present in all cells. Vitamin B12 is normally bound to dietary proteins, and the acidic environment in the stomach allows it to be separated during digestion. The action of gastric juices, and in particular the secretion of intrinsic factor by gastric wall cells, is essential for the subsequent absorption of vitamin B12 in the intestine.

Specifically, the "most famous" of the B-complex vitamins is needed for the correct physiology of the structure and function of red blood cells, intervening in the process of their synthesis by the bone marrow, supporting the synthesis of hemoglobin and DNA, being a fundamental cofactor of methionine synthase, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of purines and pyramidines, the nitrogenous bases that make up nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).

Vitamin B12 is essential for central nervous system metabolism. Aesthetically, vitamin B12 has a positive effect on the health of the skin, hair, and nails.

Vitamin B12 is absorbed into the body through the stomach, combining with a protein called intrinsic factor, which is produced in the stomach and absorbed from the food we eat. Vitamin B12 deficiency is very common in older people, affecting one in 10 people over the age of 75. It is less common in younger people, although those following a vegan diet are more prone to this deficiency, as vitamin B12 is found primarily in animal-based foods.
