Our body needs a variety of different vitamins and minerals to thrive, including eight different B vitamins. And out of all of them, vitamin B12 might be the most popular. But what exactly is B12, and do you need to take it every day? B12 supplements are most often seen marketed to boost your energy and mood, but this vitamin plays a far more critical role in the body. It is an essential vitamin necessary for producing healthy red blood cells, supporting nerve and brain function, and making DNA, the genetic material contained in all your cells. While most people get enough B12 through a variety of foods, taking a supplement to prevent deficiency generally won’t cause harm. Additionally, it may be beneficial for some populations to supplement with B12, including those who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet or have conditions that cause malabsorption of B12.

Be sure to check the complete recall list here for specific lots and plant codes to verify your product was — or wasn’t — included in the recall.
