NOW® Liquid Vitamin B12 Complex is a dietary supplement that contributes to the correct functioning of the central nervous system, energy production and also the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Vitamin B12 plays a central role in several metabolic processes:

• DNA formation
• protection and regeneration of the nerves of the central nervous system
• blood composition
• cell renewal
• synthesis of neurotransmitters.

One of the most relevant long-term effects of vitamin B12 is its impact on the central nervous system, the spine and the brain. This vitamin is involved in the formation of myelin, a protective tissue that surrounds the nerves. In diseases such as multiple sclerosis, this protective tissue of nerve cells is destroyed and the nerve is unable to transmit its impulses efficiently. Therefore, an adequate supply of vitamin B12 is important to maintain the functioning of nerve cells and, consequently, prevent neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. dementia, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis), numbness in the extremities of the limbs, fatigue. Vitamin B12 also has benefits in preventing depression, as it is involved in the formation of neurotransmitters responsible for mood and a sense of well-being, and for the normal development of the brain and cognitive function; It is essential for the synthesis of DNA, playing an important role in cell division.

Therefore, it is particularly necessary during growth phases, such as pregnancy and lactation, in babies and children during cell division, and is therefore important for the rapid multiplication of cells, such as blood cells.

It is necessary for the conversion of folic acid into its active form, which can be used by the body. A lack of vitamin B12 can result in folic acid deficiency, which can have the following consequences: anemia, fatigue, weakened immune system, difficulty in getting pregnant, disturbances in fetal development;

In addition, sufficient amounts of vitamin B12, together with folic acid and vitamin B6, support serum homocysteine ​​levels within normal limits, preventing damage to blood vessel walls and the onset of cardiovascular diseases.

This food supplement also contains other B vitamins and vitamin C, in order to reinforce the effect of vitamin B12: they contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, reduce tiredness and fatigue, help the normal functioning of the nervous system, and provide adequate psychological function;
contribute to the formation of red blood cells and the proper functioning of the heart, protect cells against undesirable oxidation, interfere in the formation of neurotransmitters, strengthen the immune system; maintain good skin condition, improve cognitive performance.
