We explored the potential of high doses of vitamin B12 to protect against heart damage caused by ischemia/reperfusion injury. By researching mice subjected to heart injury, we found that vitamin B12 showed promising effects in reducing oxidative stress and improving heart function.
Our findings suggest that this vitamin works through specific pathways that lessen inflammation and cell death in heart tissue. However, more studies are needed to fully understand its therapeutic value in treating heart disease.

We investigated how a mixture of vitamins B6, B9, and B12 (VITB) affects heart health in mice with Marfan syndrome. Over 20 weeks, VITB treatment led to reduced heart rate and smaller aorta size in these mice. Notably, VITB helped restore important gene expressions and improved TGF-β signaling, which is crucial for collagen maturation in the aorta. While this study shows promise for VITB in managing heart disease related to Marfan syndrome, further research is needed to confirm its efficacy in humans.

Vitamin B12 may lower inflammation
We examined how vitamin B12 levels relate to heart disease risk by looking at inflammatory markers in 136 individuals at high risk. Our findings revealed that those with higher vitamin B12 had lower levels of IL-6 and CRP, both linked to inflammation.
To further validate our results, we studied aged mice and found similar trends. While these observations suggest vitamin B12 might help reduce inflammation, we indicate that further research is needed to fully understand its role in heart disease.

Vitamin B12 benefits
Vitamin B12, a vital B-complex nutrient, aids energy metabolism and promotes a healthy nervous system. It, along with folic acid and vitamin B6, supports heart health by maintaining normal homocysteine levels. B12 is essential for the development and regeneration of red blood cells, which deliver oxygen throughout the body, particularly relevant for treating heart disease.

We investigated how cow’s milk intake influences the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in postmenopausal women. Analyzing data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we included 1,825 women aged 50–64.
Our findings indicated that those consuming cow’s milk more frequently (more than three times a week) had better levels of HDL cholesterol and lower CHD risk factors compared to those who did not consume milk.
This suggests that regular cow’s milk consumption could be beneficial for heart health in this group.

B-vitamins reduce mortality risk
We explored how using calcium channel blockers (CCBs) affects survival in patients with suspected stable angina and the potential role of B-vitamin treatment. A study with nearly 4,000 patients found that those who used CCBs without receiving B-vitamins had a higher mortality risk.
Conversely, patients treated with B-vitamins showed no significant increase in mortality rates related to CCB use. This suggests that B-vitamins may offer protective benefits for heart health, particularly for those on CCBs.
