What it is

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for nerve function, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis. It is naturally found in animal products like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. Industrially, it is produced through bacterial fermentation.

Why it's used

Vitamin B12 is added to foods as a nutrient to help fortify products and prevent deficiencies, especially in plant-based diets. It is commonly found in breakfast cereals, plant-based milk alternatives, and nutritional supplements.

Health notes

The FDA recognizes Vitamin B12 as safe and allows its addition to foods as a nutrient. It is crucial for maintaining health, and deficiency can lead to serious neurological problems and anemia. The WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated Vitamin B12. Evidence suggests that adequate intake supports normal bodily functions.

Allergen info

Vitamin B12 is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
