Summary
Adequate levels of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is necessary for normal growth and development in
infants. We have earlier investigated cobalamin status in healthy children and we observed
metabolic evidence of impaired cobalamin status during the first 6 months, but not later in
life.
The purpose of this study is to determine if cobalamin supplementation may influence the
metabolic profile related to cobalamin status in infants.
