Vitamin B-12
Background
Vitamin B-12 (cobalamin) is an essential water-soluble vitamin and cofactor for methionine synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, enzymes central to one-carbon metabolism, DNA synthesis, and myelin maintenance. Research and clinical literature address deficiency states, neurological function, and erythropoiesis.
The biochemistry and clinical consequences of B-12 status are well established, supported by an extensive evidence base.
