Specific Issues Regarding the Antioxidant Vitamins

Vitamin B12 is found in eggs, meat, poultry, shellfish, and dairy products.
RDA for vitamin B12 is 2.4 micrograms/day for both men and women.

Also known as cobalamin, vitamin B12 is required for the production
of red blood cells and for proper function of the nervous system.
In fact, a severe vitamin B12 deficiency produces
neurological symptoms similar to those seen in people with MS.

A variety of observations have suggested that
there may be a relationship between B12 levels and MS.
For example, people with MS have low levels of vitamin B12
in their blood more frequently than the general population.
Some have unusually large red blood cells.
This can sometimes be caused by low vitamin B12.

For all people with MS to supplement
with vitamin B12 on the basis
of these associations would be a mistake.
However, B12 deficiency can be evaluated through a blood test.
People with low levels should consider vitamin B12 supplementation.
For other people with MS, there is no evidence showing that
vitamin B12 either improves neurological symptoms or favorably
alters the course of the disease.
