Vitamin B-12 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.
B12 is perhaps the most popular of the B-family of vitamins and is an especially popular supplement among vegetarians. Because Vitamin B12 is frequently used in combination with other B vitamins, NOW® has developed this unique, balanced ULTRA-potent B-complex formulation with synergistic Vitamin C. It features 5,000mcg of Vitamin B12, plus 800mcg of synergistic Folic acid and 120mg of Vitamin C. NOW® B12 complex is also alcohol-free and vegetarian. Because Vitamin B-12 is found predominantly in animal products, strict vegetarians are at risk of developing Vitamin B-12 deficiency and may benefit from supplementation.
