If you’re getting your eight hours every night but struggle to keep your eyes open during the day, constantly have the shakes and suffer bouts of unexplained anxiety, you’re probably not getting enough vitamin B12.
Vitamin B12 (also called cobalamin because it contains the mineral cobalt) is an important member of the vitamin B-complex, a group of eight water-soluble nutrients. Vitamin B12 is essential for a healthy functioning body, and its principle role is to keep energy levels charged up throughout the day. It carries out this important function by synthesising red blood cells which deliver fresh oxygen to your organs. This powerhouse nutrient also impacts cognitive health, manufacturing messenger substances such as neurotransmitters and hormones in the central nervous system which control our mood and memory.
