How Do I Use Vitamin B-12?

 Cyanocobalamin is an artificial form of vitamin B12 used to prevent and treat low blood levels of this vitamin. Most people get enough vitamin B12 from their diet. Vitamin B12 is important for maintaining a healthy metabolism, blood cells and nerves. Severe vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to a reduced number of red blood cells (anaemia), stomach/intestinal problems and permanent nerve damage. Vitamin B12 deficiency can occur in certain health conditions (e.g. intestinal/gastric disease, poor nutrition, cancer, HIV infection, pregnancy, old age, alcoholism). It can also occur in people who follow a strict vegetarian (vegan) diet.

 

The B complex family of essential nutrients and naturally occurring water-soluble vitamins must be combined with intrinsic factors for intestinal absorption. Cyanocobalamin is essential for haematopoiesis, neural metabolism, DNA and RNA production, and carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. b12 improves iron function in the metabolic cycle and assists in the synthesis of choline from folic acid. b12 metabolism is interrelated with that of folic acid. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to pernicious anaemia, megaloblastic anaemia and neurological disorders.

How does a Sweeping Robot Work?

图片
 A  sweeping robot  works by autonomously navigating and cleaning floors using a combination of sensors, motors, and advanced algorithms.  The Foundation of Sweeping Robots The concept of automated cleaning dates back to the late 20th century when the first robotic vacuums were introduced. These early models relied on basic bump-and-turn mechanisms to navigate. Over the years, advancements in  technology  have drastically improved the functionality and efficiency of these devices. The VIGGO sweeping robot stands at the forefront of this evolution, showcasing the latest innovations in robotic cleaning. How VIGGO Sweeping Robot Works Intelligent Navigation The VIGGO sweeping robot uses a combination of sensors to detect and avoid obstacles, ensuring smooth navigation around furniture and other objects. Infrared sensors help it to avoid collisions, and cliff sensors prevent it from falling down stairs. VIGGO’s advanced models utilize LIDAR technology to create...

GFS Tanks Benefits and Applications

图片
  GFS Tanks  developed a manufacturing process that incorporates cutting-edge technology to provide clients with a high-performing, cost-effective coating. The term vitreous enamel is derived from the term vitrification, which refers to the transformation of a substance into a transparent glass. Vitreous enamel is fired at typical vitreous enamel firing temperatures, which are typically in the range of 830-850°C, until the coating reaches its maximum mobility and viscosity. It is during this time period that the interaction between the glass and steel accelerates, an interfacial adhesion layer is formed, and the synthesis of the two materials occurs. In order to provide clients with a high-performing, cost-effective coating that is specifically designed for the containment of potable water and uncovered municipal wastewater tanks,  GFS Tanks  developed  a manufacturing process that incorporates the latest technology. GFS Tanks Features  and Benefits A one-o...
