Without enough B12, harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS) are released, which can damage cells and prevent healthy growth and division
Vitamin B12 supports the bodys ability to convert food into usable energy by aiding in the production of red blood cells and supporting oxygen transport throughout the body
Ho and colleagues (J Chromatogr A, 2012), developing doping-control assays, characterised a veterinary preparation sold as TB-500 that contained only the heptapeptide LKKTETQ, the actin-binding active site spanning residues 17 to 23 of T4
