Tirachard / Getty Images Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin required for many body processes. It helps make red blood cells, create DNA and protein, and protect the nervous system. The body can store several years' worth of vitamin B12, making a deficiency harder to diagnose, as symptoms do not appear sooner. It is best to meet your vitamin B12 requirements daily rather than wait for symptoms to appear before using B12.
