Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 tablets and supplements support normal red blood cell creation, which is crucial for energy and brain health, as well as keeping the nervous system functioning and healthy. Vitamin B12 also helps the body release energy from food and utilise folate (vitamin B9), which further supports the production of red blood cells. A vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anaemia, a term to describe a reduced number of red blood cells and/or a low amount of haemoglobin per red blood cell. Vitamin B12 deficiency anaemia specifically means that the body produces overly large, poorly functioning red blood cells. Vitamin B12 deficiency and anaemia symptoms can include extreme lethargy and tiredness, pins and needles, a sore tongue, ulcers in the mouth, weak muscles, vision problems, depression and anxiety, and cognitive function issues. Our Vitamin B12 supplements can contribute to normal levels of red blood cell creation, with natural sources of the vitamin including meat and fish, milk and cheese, eggs, and some breakfast cereals.
