Why Vitamin B12 Matters Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in maintaining red blood cell formation, neurological function, and mitochondrial energy production, helping support mood, concentration, and overall nervous system health. It is found naturally in foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products, but some people do not absorb enough through the digestive tract due to age, medications, or health conditions such as pernicious anemia. Promoting overall health and wellness requires you to get enough vitamin B12, especially for maintaining healthy red blood cells and neurological function
