What else does vitamin B12 do?
- Vitamin B12 is a necessary ingredient in the production of DNA. DNA allows for growth and replication of the cell.
- Bone marrow needs adequate Vitamin B12 to keep up with the rapid growth reproduction of its cells. Red blood cells are produced rapidly here, and they cannot mature properly in the absence of Vitamin B12.
- Cells lining the gastrointestinal tract (the larynx, stomach, intestines and bowel) have a rapid turnover rate and in the process, use up a lot of Vitamin B12 for their growth and replication.
- Vitamin B12 has an important role in nervous system as well. It is directly responsive for the proper production and maintenance of the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve cells and their processes. This sheath protects the nerve from damage and without Vitamin B12 to maintain growth and repair of the sheath, progressive and sometimes irreversible nerve damage can result.
