10. Meats
Meat is usually thought of as mainly a source of protein. However, aside from protein and vitamins, meat has a considerable amount of cobalt. It contains about 0.08 µg of it, and while that may seem little remember that your body’s cobalt requirement is only around 2 µg or so per day, so having enough meat in your meals will probably make you meet that requirement without trying anyway.
Final Words
While cobalt mainly helps your body produce vitamin B12, it is also shown to help make other nutrients effective, like vitamin C and iron. It’s also essential in the formation of the fatty layer that protects nerves, the lack of which can affect nervous functions and mental health. Studies also show a positive link between cobalt and heart health. So make sure to get enough cobalt every day!
