Vitamin B12 is a nutrient essential for the function of the nervous system, formation of red blood cells, and synthesis of DNA. The body does not produce sufficient amounts of vitamin B12 and, therefore, a certain amount must be taken in through diet. This vitamin can be found naturally in animal products such as meat, fish, poultry, shellfish, eggs and dairy products. Insufficient levels have wide-ranging symptoms that may appear gradually and intensify over time such as neuropathy (nerve damage). Folate, or Vitamin B9, helps make DNA, produces red blood cells and supports nerve and immune functions, reproductive health, the cardiovascular system, the brain and more. Folate is not produced by the body and, therefore, must be supplied by food. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate. Folate is essential for human development and thus the reason it is so important for pregnant women and women of childbearing age.
