An essential vitamin

Vitamins are micronutrients found in the foods we eat. There are several families of vitamins, each with a very specific role to play. Requirements are defined by ANSES (Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation, de l'environnement et du travail) and vary from one individual to another, depending on a number of factors (age, gender, physical condition, etc.).

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential vitamin that must be supplied to the body daily through the diet, as the body is unable to synthesize it. The recommended daily intake is 2.5 micrograms of vitamin B12 per day.

This vitamin is mainly found in animal products, which explains why people following a vegetarian or vegan diet are at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency.

Our vitamin is derived from the symbiosis between specific bacteria and the Shiitake mushroom. Bacteria capable of synthesizing vitamin B12 are introduced into the Shiitake's soil, making it naturally rich in the vitamin as it grows. This process produces a plant-based source of vitamin B12 in the form of a mixture of hydroxycobalamin, methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin.

To respect the environment and your health, no additives are added during the manufacturing process, and the solvents used are "green" solvents, 100% plant-based.

The role of vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in the blood, nervous and immune systems.

Blood is a living tissue playing an important role in the functioning of our body. Three types of cells are found in the blood: red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells. Red blood cells are present in our blood and have a well-defined role, that of transporting oxygen from the lungs to the surrounding organs and tissues. Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells, helping to reduce fatigue.

In the nervous system, vitamin B12 is involved in the formation of myelin, the substance that protects neurons. Myelin is a sheath made up of proteins and lipids that enables the proper transmission of nerve impulses between different neurons. Through this role, vitamin B12 helps the nervous system to function normally.

The immune system defends against external aggressions such as viruses and bacteria. It is our body's first line of defense. Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions, helping the immune system to function properly.
