Every living organism in nature requires vitamins in minute quantities to maintain a normal metabolic activity. Vitamins are organic compounds that cannot be synthesized by the organism and need to be obtained through external sources. Thus vitamin is described as a generic descriptor for a group of chemical compounds or ingredients that have similar molecular structure and also possess the capability to perform the required vitamin-activity in any living organism. The chemical compounds or vitamin ingredients are known as vitamers. Vitamins are of thirteen known different types with each type having multiple vitamers. Out of which vitamin B-complex is categorized under a group of water-soluble vitamers that although co-exist together but are distinct in chemical structure and functions. The existing types of vitamin B are Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7, Vitamin B9, and Vitamin B12.
There is a continuous demand for vitamin B ingredients over the past two decades due to the modern lifestyles and diet patterns. Vitamin B disorders are due to genetic causes or processed food consumption.

Vitamin B12, is also known as Cobalamin and is one of the available eight B vitamins. Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods and also available as a dietary supplement or a prescription medication. All the B vitamins help the body convert carbohydrates into glucose, which is used to produce energy and also help the human body use fats and protein. For a healthy skin, hair, eyes, liver and functioning of the nervous system, B complex vitamins are needed. The human body does not store vitamin B and it helps in the production of DNA, RNA, and the body’s genetic material. Vitamin B12 works closely with vitamin B9 helping in the generation of red blood cells and to help iron work better in the body. Low levels of vitamin B12 can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, diarrhea, nervousness, numbness and tingling sensation in the fingers and toes. Severe deficiency of vitamin B12 causes nerve damage.
