Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)

Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) is one of the eight B vitamins that help convert food into glucose for energy. It's also necessary for producing red blood cells, nervous system health, regenerating bone marrow and the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract lining, and manufacturing elements of DNA.

Deficiencies of vitamin B12 can lead to erectile dysfunction, heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and alcoholism.

Foods high in vitamin B12 include trout, salmon, tuna, clams, beef, pork, chicken, eggs, Greek yogurt, and Swiss cheese.
