Vitamin B-12 (Cyanocobalamin) is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for the maintenance
of a healthy nervous system and for the metabolic utilization of fats and proteins.
Vitamin B-12 is also essential for the synthesis of DNA during cell division and
therefore is especially important for rapidly multiplying cells, such as blood
cells. In addition, adequate intake of Vitamin B-12, along with Folic Acid and
Vitamin B-6, encourages healthy serum homocysteine levels, thereby supporting
cardiovascular health. Because Vitamin B-12 is found only in animal products,
strict vegetarians are at risk of developing Vitamin B-12 deficiency and may benefit
from supplementation.
From the FDA's website: "As part of a well-balanced diet that is low in
saturated fat and cholesterol, Vitamin B12 may reduce the risk of vascular disease.
FDA evaluated the above claim and found that, while it is known that diets low
in saturated fat and cholesterol reduce the risk of heart disease and other
vascular diseases, the evidence in support of the above claim is inconclusive."
