As we become older, we are more likely to become deficient in Vitamin B12. Two ways that you can become deficient in vitamin B12 are; not getting enough B12 in your diet and poor absorption.

Vitamin B12 is useful for helping to maintain normal energy levels, promoting healthy neurological activity, including mental alertness, supporting normal homocysteine levels for healthy cardiac function, helping to ease occasional stress and sleeplessness, maintaining healthy cell growth and repair, promoting normal immune function and supporting normal metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. When your blood levels of vitamin B12 are low, one or more of these functions may be disrupted.
