Vitamin B12 (also known as cobalamin) is a member of the B-complex family of water-soluble vitamins. Vitamin B12 has numerous functions in the body including, stimulating red blood cell production, support of healthy nerve function, DNA synthesis and the metabolism of homocysteine. It is involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body. [1]Two steps are required for the body to absorb vitamin B12 from food:  Hydrochloric acid in the stomach separates vitamin B12 from the protein to which vitamin B12 is attached in food.  After this, vitamin B12 combines with a needed protein made by the stomach called intrinsic factor (IF) and is absorbed by the body. [1]   Vitamin B12 is naturally found in: animal foods including meats, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy. They are also found in food products fortified with B12, such as some varieties of bread and plant-based milk.
