Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin. It is essential for normal growth and development, and it is very important in the process of red blood cell formation. It helps the body to use folic acid and supports the function of the nervous system.

Its deficiency may be caused by malabsorption. The presence of hydrochloric acid and a well-functioning thyroid gland facilitate the absorption of vitamin B12.

Vitamin B12 absorption appears to decrease with age and also due to calcium, iron and vitamin B6 deficiencies.
