Introducing
Cobalamin - Filter for Healthy Blood
Vitamin B-12 is the largest and most
complex of all the vitamins. It is unique among vitamins
in that it contains a metal ion, cobalt. For this reason
cobalamin is the term used to refer to compounds having
B-12 activity. Methylcobalamin and 5-deoxyadenosyl cobalamin
are the forms of vitamin B-12 used in the human body. The
form of cobalamin used in most supplements, cyanocobalamin,
is readily converted to 5-deoxyadenosyl and methylcobalamin.

Why
Cobalamin?
Cobalamin is know to keep your red blood
cells healthy. If you eat enough cobalamin, and if your
body can use it properly, you make millions of nice round,
healthy red blood cells every day. If you don't eat enough,
or you can't use it properly, you can't make enough red
blood cells, and the ones you do make are too large and
fragile to work well. When you don't have enough red blood
cells to carry oxygen and nutrients around your body, you
develop anemia.
All your cells, not just your red blood cells, need cobalamin
to grow and divide properly. For example, you need it to
make all the different cells in your immune system, including
white blood cells.
Cobalamin's next big role is in making the protective fatty
layer, or sheath, that coats your nerve cells - sort of
like insulation on electric wires. If the sheath is damaged
because you don't have enough cobalamin, you start getting
the equivalent of static on the line. Really bad static
can interfere with your mental function - so much that people
think you're senile.
Cobalamin is a team player. Working with the other B vitamins,
but especially with pyridoxine and folic acid, it helps
you turn the carbs, fats, and proteins in your food into
energy in your cells.
Among many cobalamin supplements, Natural
Timed B-12 1000mcg from NatureMost stands out for it's price
