    Benefits of B12;

     

    1. Helps form red blood cells

    Red blood cells carry oxygen from our lungs to tissues throughout our body. They also carry  carbon dioxide — a toxic by-product of cell functioning — from those tissues back to the lungs where it's then expelled.

    "Vitamin B12 participates in the production of red blood cells," says Vikram Tarugu, MD, a gastroenterologist and CEO of Detox of South Florida "If the rates of vitamin B12 are too poor, red blood cell output is impaired, inducing megaloblastic anemia."

    Megaloblastic anemia refers to anemia — a lack of red blood cells — specifically caused by lack of B12. It "causes symptoms like fatigue, difficulty concentrating, clumsiness, and dry skin," says Megan Wong, a registered dietitian at AlgaeCal, a company providing information on bone health. 

    While there are other reasons a person may develop anemia, such as excessive bleeding or low iron, maintaining healthy levels of vitamin B12 is one way to prevent it. 

    2. Might Prevent Dementia

    Another benefit of vitamin B12 is that it can slow brain atrophy in the elderly. Brain atrophy means an overall shrinkage in brain volume and also a loss of neurons, which can cause diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's making it difficult to function independently in society.

    A 2008 study published by the American Academy of Neurology with 107 participants over 61-years-old, found that the brain volume lost over five years was greater for people with lower B12 levels in the blood.

    "Vitamin B12 is crucial for a well-functioning brain and nervous system. Its role in the brain is so important that research suggests vitamin B12 might play a role in preventing dementia," says Wong.

    However, there's no evidence that B12 supplements improve memory loss in those who are already suffering from Alzheimer's disease. 

    3. May improve mood and symptoms of depression

    There is still debate over the extent of its impact, but research has shown a connection between B12 deficiency and neuropsychiatric manifestations. These include depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and mood swings.


    "Vitamin B12 is required for serotonin development, which is a chemical that controls mood," says Tarugu. This link has led researchers to encourage vitamin B12 supplements as part of treatment plans for those with depression. 

    For example, in a study of 199 depressed individuals, 100% of those treated with antidepressants as well as injected vitamin B12 improved by at least 20%. Only 69% of people treated with antidepressants and not B12 reported similar improvements.

    4. May prevent birth defects

    People who are pregnant have a higher recommended dose of vitamin B12. That's because the compound may help prevent severe birth defects like partial paralysis and an undeveloped skull. "Adequate amounts of vitamin B12 are important for a successful pregnancy," says Tarugu. 

    If someone with low levels of B12 becomes pregnant, they have a greater chance of giving birth to a child with neural tube defect. This class of birth defects includes anencephaly, a fatal condition where the baby's brain and skull are severely underdeveloped. Along with maintaining proper vitamin B12 levels, taking folic acid before and after conception can decrease the chances of a baby having neural tube defects. 


    5. Supports healthy hair, skin, and nails

    Tarugu says maintaining healthy levels of vitamin B12 can also assist in hair, skin, and nail growth by providing oxygen to these tissues. 

    "However, if your [B12] levels are already adequate, consuming a supplement probably won't boost your health in those regions," he says. 

    If you do have a vitamin B12 deficiency, it may manifest as vitiligo — a condition in which the skin has discoloured patches, slower hair growth, or skin hyperpigmentation. In this case, adding vitamin B12 to your diet or taking a supplement may improve the condition.
