Taking vitamin B 12 supplements affects the genes expressed by bacteria living on our skin, report researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in Science Translational Medicine [1] on 24 June 2015
This can be due to COMT, MTR or MTRR genetic mutations which help the body convert B12 into its active forms for use at the enzymatic and cellular level
An evolutionarily favorable fact is that one-half of your B12 is stored in your liver, and it takes many years for these stores to be depleted
Vitamin B12 injections are medically necessary for patients with pernicious anemia, severe malabsorption syndromes, post-bariatric surgery absorption failure, or critically low B12 levels with neurological symptoms
B12 (cobalamin) supports red blood cell formation, nerve health, and the conversion of food into cellular energy
