(1) Repairs Nerve Damage: Promotes myelin sheath (the protective layer of nerve fibers) synthesis, improving peripheral neuropathy (e.g., diabetic neuropathy, numbness in hands and feet).
(2) Prevents Pernicious Anemia: Works synergistically with folate to promote red blood cell production, treating megaloblastic anemia caused by B12 deficiency.
(3) Reduces Fatigue: Participates in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, converting food into energy and alleviating chronic fatigue syndrome.
(4) Lowers Homocysteine: Reduces the accumulation of homocysteine (a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases).
(5) Improves Sleep & Mood: Regulates melatonin secretion, aiding in insomnia treatment; B12 deficiency may contribute to depression or memory decline.
