Vitamin B12 for Cats Overview About Vitamin B12 for Cats Vitamin B12, or cyanocobalamin or just cobalamin (going forward, well use all three terms interchangeably), is required for many enzymatic processes in animals that are needed for normal cell growth and function, including protein synthesis, nerve conduction, metabolism of fats and carbs, and generation of new red blood cells
Oral vitamin B12 is generally safe to take at recommended doses
There may be instances where certain conditions, such as poor nutrition, intestinal issues, infections, and cancer, may lead to B12 deficiency
It is an investigational compound, not an FDA-approved medication
Strengthened Immune System A robust immune system is crucial for fighting off illnesses, and B12 contributes by aiding in the production of white blood cells
This results in lower blood sugar levels and ultimately leads to weight loss as confirmed by one of the clinical trials where subjects reported a 15% loss in body weight
