Vitamin B12, molecular model
Vitamin B12, molecular model. Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is an essential nutrient that humans are unable to produce and need to obtain from their diet. It is found in meat, fish poultry and dairy products. Vitamin B12 is needed for producing red blood cells and for a healthy nervous system. Deficiency can lead to pernicious anaemia, with symptoms including tiredness, dizziness and a reduced sense of taste. Vitamin B12s chemical formula is C63H88CoN14O14P. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (C, grey), hydrogen (H, turquoise), cobalt (Co, pink), nitrogen (N, blue), oxygen (O, red) and phosphorus (P, green)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular model of Vitamin B12, a vital nutrient that humans must obtain from their diet as it cannot be produced internally. The intricate structure depicted here represents cyanocobalamin, the chemical form of Vitamin B12. Found abundantly in meat, fish, poultry, and dairy products, this essential vitamin plays a crucial role in red blood cell production and maintaining a healthy nervous system. Deficiency in Vitamin B12 can lead to pernicious anaemia, characterized by symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and diminished taste perception. Its chemical formula is C63H88CoN14O14P with each atom represented by color-coded spheres: carbon (C) in grey, hydrogen (H) in turquoise, cobalt (Co) in pink, nitrogen (N) in blue, oxygen (O) in red and phosphorus (P) in green. The 3D illustration beautifully captures the complexity of this biochemical compound which serves as an important supplement for overall health. With its water-soluble nature and significant contributions to biological processes within our bodies; Vitamin B12 holds immense significance within the field of nutrition and medicine. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this stunning representation of Vitamin B12's molecular structure - an image that not only educates but also inspires awe at the intricacies found within our own biology.
