Vitamina B12

Vitamin B12, also known as cyanocobalamin or methylcobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system, red blood cell formation and energy metabolism. Deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anaemia, neurological problems and other disorders.
