VITAMIN B12/COBALAMIN
What is vitamin B12/cobalamin?
Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, is an essential nutrient critical for red blood cell production, neurological function, energy metabolism, and DNA synthesis. It ensures oxygen transport, preventing anaemia, and supports myelin production for nerve protection.
Cobalamin aids in breaking down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, generating energy. It maintains genetic integrity by participating in DNA synthesis. Adequate intake prevents deficiencies, which can lead to fatigue, anaemia, and nerve damage.
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, confidently emerges as a promising nutrient in supporting individuals with autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) and overall health. Its vital role in immune regulation holds significant potential for reducing inflammation and autoimmunity commonly associated with AITD. B12's involvement in DNA regulation through methylation showcases its potential influence in maintaining genetic stability.
B12 plays a crucial role in energy production, effectively combating fatigue and promoting overall well-being in individuals with AITD. Additionally, B12 supports optimal nerve function, which contributes to alleviating neurological symptoms.
