Vitamin B12, vitamin B12 or vitamin B-12, also called cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that has a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and the formation of red blood cells. It is one of eight B vitamins. It is involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially affecting DNA synthesis, fatty acid and amino acid metabolism.No fungi, plants, nor animals (including humans) are capable of producing vitamin B12. Only bacteria and archaea have the enzymes needed for its synthesis. Proved sources of B12 are animal products (meat, fish, dairy products) and supplements. Some research states that certain non-animal products possibly can be a natural source of B12 because of bacterial symbiosis. B12 is the largest and most structurally complicated vitamin and can be produced industrially only through a bacterial fermentation-synthesis. This synthetic B12 is used to fortify foods and sold as a dietary supplement.
Just as the name suggests, vitamin B12 is a vitamin. It is obtained from foods like fish, meat and dairy foods, and is extremely valuable to athletes and bodybuilders alike. B12 can also be manufactured in labs. Injecting vitamin B12 into the body can treat Vitamin B12 deficiency in athletes, everyday people, and in many cases, women who struggle with B12 depletion as they engage in serious exercise or bodybuilding. For serious sports competitors, including those who engage in competitive weight lifting, mixed martial arts, and other physically demanding athletics, B12 is essential to muscle healing and brings many other benefits to the table.
