Water-soluble vitamin B-12 (cyanocobalamin) is essential for the synthesis of energy from fats and proteins as well as for the preservation of a healthy neurological system. Because vitamin B-12 is also necessary for the creation of DNA during cell division, it is particularly crucial for cells that divide quickly, such blood cells. Furthermore, the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, which supports a healthy cardiovascular system, depends on a sufficient intake of vitamin B-12, folic acid, and vitamin B-6. Although B-12 is stored in the liver, it can only be obtained through diets that contain meat and dairy products. For this reason, B-12 supplements can be particularly crucial for vegetarians.
