By Karin Elgar Abstract Abstract Vitamin B12 (B12) is an essential cofactor in cellular metabolism adequate supplies are needed for normal blood formation and neurological function, and deficiency can therefore lead to macrocytic anaemia and neurological deficits
Benefits of B12 supplementation have been shown in a number of conditions, including diabetic neuropathy, back pain, mouth ulcers, autism spectrum disorder and elevated homocysteine levels, and it is generally considered to be very safe even at high dosages
Many fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C, including: Broccoli Brussels sprouts Citrus fruits, such as oranges Kiwi fruit Red and green bell peppers Strawberries Note that heat destroys vitamin C, so it may be best to eat vitamin C-rich foods raw when possible
Tests in bacteria, cells, and mice all came back negative, suggesting the compound does not pose carcinogenic risk through DNA damage mechanisms
