Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in maintaining proper functioning of our body. This vitamin is crucial in the generation of red blood cells, thus helps in carrying oxygen. It is also responsible for the proper functioning of the nerves and thus directly deals with the brain. According to the dietary supplements facts sheet of US National Institutes of Health, an average adult requires 2.4 micrograms of vitamin B12 a day. But the catch is, our body cannot produce B12 and it can only be fulfilled through external diet sources.
