Vitamin B12

What is vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12 is also known as cobalamin and is one of the eight vitamins in the B vitamin complex. Cobalamin is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential for your body. Unlike other water-soluble vitamins, vitamin B12 can be stored in the body, allowing you to build up a reserve. Vitamin B12 is only found in animal products such as fish, meat, dairy, and eggs.

How much vitamin B12 per day?

The recommended daily amount (RDA) of vitamin B12 is set at 2.8 micrograms per day by the Health Council. Vitamin B12 has no proven adverse effects with a high intake. If you consume too much vitamin B12, your body regulates this itself by, for example, reducing the absorption from food. Moreover, any excess vitamin B12 is naturally excreted. If you do not eat animal products, you have an increased need for vitamin B12, which you can supplement with a well-absorbable B12 supplement. You take a vitamin B12 supplement once a day.
