…will not be effective if B12 deficiency is the underlying cause. This makes it essential to test for B12 deficiency when evaluating dementia symptoms, Rosenberg argues. “B12 tests measure all…
A recent study reveals that Phaeocystis antarctica, an algae native to the Southern Ocean, can thrive without vitamin B12, challenging previous assumptions. This discovery, indicating the algae’s adaptability to B12…
…noting that higher B12 levels correspond to lower levels of inflammatory markers like IL-6 and CRP. The study, which used data from the PREDIMED trial, suggests B12’s potential role in…
New research suggests that today’s B12 guidelines might be outdated, as even “normal” levels could still harm brain function. Scientists warn that subtle cognitive decline linked to B12 insufficiency might…
…vitamin B12 may not be enough to protect the aging brain. UCSF researchers found that older adults with lower, but still technically normal, B12 showed slower processing speeds, more white…
…this version produced active B12, the form the body actually needs. According to the researchers, this is the first time biologically active vitamin B12 has been reported in Spirulina. Internal…

…address global vitamin B12 deficiencies while reducing reliance on environmentally taxing meat and dairy production. Scientists have bioengineered Spirulina to produce active vitamin B12, previously found only in animal products,…
…in the fight against acute pancreatitis: vitamin B12. Through genetic analysis and mouse model experiments, researchers showed that higher vitamin B12 levels can significantly reduce the severity of this often-deadly…
…bacteria need vitamin B12 just as much as you do. Though DNA is usually passed from parent to child, new research shows gut bacteria transfer genes through “sex” in order…
The gymnast in action: This computer-generated image shows how Vitamin B12, a small molecule shown in dark green and dark blue, interacts with much larger molecules during the reaction known…
