While its main function is to carry out cellular respiration, a process that converts nutrients from food into ATP, there are many other functions mitochondria perform, including metabolic signaling, calcium regulation, autophagy (cellular clean-up) and apoptosis (cell death), neurogenesis (growth of new nerve tissue) and neuronal plasticity (aka neuroplasticity- our brains ability to grow and adapt), as well as the synthesis of other molecules (especially those in the immune system)
Also known as cobalamin, B12 is essential for life
Its critical for energy production, helping convert food into glucose to fuel your body, and essential for maintaining healthy nerve cells, including the formation of the myelin sheath that insulates them
