Are you getting Enough B12?

Vitamin B12, also known as cyanocobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that is vital for healthy cells: it affects the development and maintenance of red blood cells, nerve cells, and normal myelination (covering) of nerve cells. It also aids in the production of DNA and RNA, and the synthesis of neurotransmitters. We can obtain vitamin B12 only from animal foods, including dairy, eggs, meat, fish, poultry, and shellfish, so vegetarians and vegans are often at risk for B12 deficiency.
