Functions of Vitamin B12:
Here are five key benefits of Vitamin B12:
- Boosts Energy Levels
Vitamin B12 helps convert food into glucose, which the body uses for energy. Deficiency can lead to fatigue and weakness. - Supports Nervous System Health
It plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of nerve cells and forming the protective covering (myelin) around nerves. - Improves Mood & Reduces Depression Risk
B12 is essential in synthesizing neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which affect mood and mental health. - Promotes Red Blood Cell Formation
It helps the body produce healthy red blood cells, preventing certain types of anemia that cause tiredness and weakness. - Supports Brain Health and Memory
Adequate B12 levels are linked to better cognitive performance and may reduce the risk of memory loss or dementia in older adults.

Vitamin B12,2 Pack
Overview
Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin found in foods such as meat, fish, and dairy. It can also be made in a lab and is often taken with other B vitamins.
Vitamin B12 is required for the function and development of many parts of the body, including the brain, nerves, and blood cells. Methylcobalamin is the active form of vitamin B12. Cyanocobalamin, which must be processed by the body into the active form, is the most common type used in supplements.
Uses & Effectiveness
Effective for
- A rare inherited condition marked by vitamin B12 deficiency (Imerslund-Grasbeck disease). Injecting vitamin B12 as a shot for 10 days followed by monthly injections is effective for treating this condition. Vitamin B12 shots can only be given by a healthcare provider.
- Vitamin B12 deficiency. Taking vitamin B12 by mouth, as a shot, or inhaling through the nose can treat and prevent vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 shots can only be given by a healthcare provider.
Likely Effective for
- Cyanide poisoning. Administering hydroxocobalamin (Cyanokit), a natural form of vitamin B12, as a shot is likely effective for treating cyanide poisoning. It has been approved by the US FDA for this use. Vitamin B12 shots can only be given by a healthcare provider.
Possibly Effective for
-
- Canker sores. Applying an ointment containing vitamin B12 or taking vitamin B12 under the tongue seems to help reduce canker sore symptoms.
- High levels of homocysteine in the blood (hyperhomocysteinemia). Taking vitamin B12 by mouth, along with folic acid and sometimes pyridoxine (vitamin B6), can lower blood levels of homocysteine.
- Possibly Ineffective for
- Decline in memory and thinking skills that occurs normally with age. Taking vitamin B12 by mouth, alone or with folic acid and vitamin B6, doesn’t seem to improve mental function in elderly people.
- Alzheimer disease. Taking vitamin B12 by mouth, alone or with folic acid and vitamin B6, doesn’t seem to improve mental function in people with Alzheimer disease.
- Decline in memory and thinking skills in older people that is more than what is normal for their age. Taking vitamin B12 by mouth, alone or with folic acid and vitamin B6, doesn’t seem to improve memory and thinking skills in elderly people who have a decline in these skills.
- Fall prevention. Taking folic acid with vitamin B12 by mouth doesn’t seem to prevent falls in older people also taking vitamin D.
- Weak and brittle bones (osteoporosis). Taking vitamin B12 and folic acid by mouth, with or without vitamin B6, doesn’t seem to reduce fractures in older people with osteoporosis.
- Physical performance in elderly adults. Taking vitamin B12 and folic acid by mouth doesn’t seem to help improve physical function in older people.
There is interest in using vitamin B12 for a number of other purposes, but there isn’t enough reliable information to say whether it might be helpful.
