Vitamin B-12, also known as cyanocobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a critical role in proper energy metabolism, helping to break down some fatty acids and amino acids to produce energy. It is also necessary for DNA synthesis, red blood cell development, immune function, nerve function, and the production of neurotransmitters. Vitamin B-12, along with folic acid and vitamin B6 help reduce levels of homocysteine, an amino acid derivative that can be harmful to the cardiovascular and neurological system when present in excess. High levels of homocysteine have also been implicated in osteoporosis and are toxic to brain cells, raising serious questions about homocysteine's possible role in Alzheimer's disease.

Vitamin B-12 is found in all foods of animal origin, including dairy, eggs, meat, poultry, and fish.

The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies has not established a UL for this vitamin because vitamin B-12 has a very low potential for toxicity. In fact, the IOM states that "no adverse effects have been associated with excess vitamin B-12 intake from food and supplements in healthy individuals". Furthermore, the IOM recommends that adults older than 50 years get most of their vitamin B-12 from supplements or fortified foods because of the high incidence of impaired absorption in this age group of vitamin B-12 from foods that come from animals.
