What is Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 is an essential water-soluble vitamin the body needs for nerve function, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis, obtained mainly through animal-based foods.
Why is it associated with cognitive wellness?
Vitamin B12 plays a direct role in maintaining healthy nerve cells and supporting neurotransmitter production, both of which are foundational to cognitive function. Deficiency is a recognized, common contributor to cognitive symptoms.
What does the research say?
General background on Vitamin B12 is available via the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
