How does vitamin B12 give you energy?

203 views

I’m taking B12 shots in conjunction with some other medication and I find that I’m not tired all day. I’m not hyper, by any means, but I feel really evened out and alert the whole day. How does this happen? Is it something in my brain? Is it something in my body?

B12 is a vital component in how the body breaks down protein and fat, and it’s vital for cell replication and especially red blood cells.

It’s just an important nutrient that your body needs, and if you lack it in your diet for a prolonged time that impacts you negatively with all kinds of side effects.

B12 does not “give your body energy”, it’s more like if you don’t have the amount you need then your body breaks down and stops working.
